Isn't it likely that the ED will be before the entry draft again? So Bennett could still be an unqualified RFA...

All players to be protected would have to be under the team's control, meaning they would have to be at least qualified as a RFA. I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say that the league is going to have all contract statuses rock solid prior to Seattle making a selection. This is a $500M expansion team, so I doubt any ambiguity about a player's status is going to come up. Anyone not under contract to their team will be considered an unrestricted free agent.
