Here’s the rundown on Eastern from Lance Zierlein:Three-year starter with a long wingspan but inconsistencies in his game and a lack of standout production. Eastern plays with loose upper-body movement that helps him slip blocks and find gaps. He uses his length effectively to disengage when he times it right.

However, his high-cut frame and below-average pad level create persistent issues anchoring and maintaining gap integrity, especially against zone blocks. He ends up on the ground too often and hasn’t proven he can create consistent pressure as a rusher. Eastern’s size and length might be best utilized in a wider alignment as an odd-front end.Seattle Seahawks 2026 NFL Draft picksRound 1, Pick 32: Jadarian Price, RB, Notre DameRound 2, Pick 64: Bud Clark, S, TCURound 3, Pick 99: Julian Neal, CB, ArkansasRound 5, Pick 148: Beau Stephens, G, IowaRound 6, Pick 199: Emmanuel Henderson Jr, WR, KansasRound 7, Pick 236: Andre Fuller, CB, ToledoRound 7, Pick 242: Remaining Day 3 Seahawks draft picksRound 7: No. 255 (from Green Bay Packers)
