Who is the Offensive tackle Seattle drafted in the first round in 2000?

The offensive tackle Seattle drafted in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft was Chris McIntosh. The Seahawks selected him 22nd overall out of Wisconsin, where he had established himself as one of college football’s top offensive linemen.

McIntosh was a consensus All-American and helped Wisconsin win the 2000 Rose Bowl. Seattle hoped he would become a long-term fixture on an offensive line that already included standout tackle Walter Jones. The Seahawks also selected running back Shaun Alexander in the first round that year, but Alexander went 19th overall and was not an offensive tackle—an important distinction when recalling Seattle’s 2000 draft.

McIntosh’s professional career was brief. Knee problems limited him, and he played only two NFL seasons, both with Seattle, appearing in 24 games and making 13 starts. His relatively short career can cause confusion because the Seahawks’ other 2000 first-round selection, Alexander, became a franchise legend and is much more widely remembered. Nevertheless, McIntosh is the single correct answer to the position-specific question.
