12th Man Rising

● By Lee Vowell
Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider has made a number of trades this season - and just before the season began - so the number of picks the team has in the 2025 NFL draft seems to be ever-changing. Currently, Seattle has only five, and not any in rounds four or five. This means Seattle needs to hit big in the first three rounds. Seattle will probably get comp picks somewhere in the middle rounds after losing Jordyn Brooks and Damien Lewis in free agency, but that has yet to be confirmed. In other words, the number of picks Seattle will have will probably be more than five even if the Seahawks do not make trades to add more. Still, five is what we know right now so that is what we will go with for the mock draft below. While Seattle certainly needs interior offensive line help, expecting Schneider to take a guard or center early in the draft seems foolish. Instead, the guess is that Seattle gets players to help head coach Mike Macdonald's defense get better. The first two choices should certainly do that.
