Fashanu completed his second season and first as a full-time starter in 2025, settling in as an above-average left tackle with clear pass-protection value. His best work comes from urgency, length and hand-timing. Fashanu reaches his landmarks on schedule, uses a high-low hand carriage and double-under technique to establish quick leverage. He can also drop a firm anchor once he connects through the rusher's frame. Early in the season, wide alignments and speed threats could manipulate him, exposing some lower-body stiffness and causing him to drift or open his hips too soon. Those areas improved as the year progressed, with Fashanu playing with better set discipline, narrowing the runway for rushers and reducing the amount of recovery required. His run-blocking is solid but not a major separator. He is effective on backside cutoffs and overtakes, but late redirect demands across his face can expose some rigidity on base blocks and second-level fits. Fashanu's profile is not high-end yet, but the combination of pass-protection tools, anchor and second-year growth give him a stable starter foundation with room to climb.

Darrisaw started 10 games in 2025 and exited four of them early, while continuing to work through lingering effects from the torn ACL/MCL he suffered in October of 2024. On the field, he still showed much of the profile that made him one of the league's better young left tackles: a sturdy frame, heavy hands, firm anchor and the power to create movement in the run game. Darrisaw remains physically difficult for rushers to play through, and his size, explosiveness and contact strength give him a high floor when healthy. The concern is what showed up late in reps, where his redirect and recovery skills looked slightly diminished against rushers who could string moves together or force him to change direction after the initial phase. His hand-timing and corner protection still need to be cleaner, especially given the thinner movement margin post-injury. Darrisaw will only be 27 during the 2026 season and still has one of the league's better physical profiles at left tackle, but his durability and movement rebound have become the variables that separate him from the higher tier he was tracking toward before the knee injury.

Cross put together the cleanest season of his four-year career in 2025, benefiting from a strong schematic fit inside Klint Kubiak's run-first, zone- and play-action-oriented system. Cross has always been more athletic than a size-and-strength tackle, and Seattle's structure aligned well with that profile by reducing true dropback exposure and giving him cleaner angles in the run game. In pass protection, Cross is a loose, fluid mover with the length and foot quickness to stay square and protect width. However, his lighter frame can still be compressed by high-end power-rushers. That vulnerability was better managed in 2025 through a lower pass-block volume, heavy play-action usage and more proactive strike-timing that helped him protect his frame, play long and shorten the runway for rushers. In the run game, Cross brings more grit and finish than his build suggests, with the movement skills to stay attached, strain and cover space in zone concepts. His career-best season was real, but it was also aided by a system that emphasized his athleticism while reducing exposure to his anchor limitations.
