Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Jarran Reed
Summary

Deven Eastern is a physically imposing interior lineman who serves as a reliable anchor for the defensive front. A four-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, he combines a high football IQ with a relentless motor to disrupt both the run and the pass. While he may not be a high-volume sack producer, his ability to command double teams and maintain gap integrity makes him a valuable rotational depth candidate.

  • Seahawks' Deven Eastern: Snagged by Seattle

    Rotowire

    The Seahawks selected Eastern in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 242nd overall.

    Eastern was a full-time starter at defensive tackle in each of his last three seasons at Minnesota. He was named an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention in 2025 after posting 38 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass defense across 13 games. Eastern has an intimidating 6-foot-5, 315-pound frame that makes him an intriguing development project for the Seahawks, who will certainly work with the 23-year-old on his technique and instinct to try and develop him into an NFL-caliber defensive lineman.
