Now that the Super Bowl is done, the mock draft season gets into full swing. What the Seattle Seahawks are going to do in the 2025 NFL draft is anyone's guess, of course, but it is fun to read all the guesses. The issue is most pundits are far too logical when it comes to Seattle.
Everyone and their great-aunt knows Seattle needs to fix the interior of the offensive line. Expecting the Seahawks to do that, based on general manager John Schneider's draft history, is a bit foolish. Schneider should address the O-line, but he likely won't unless he takes an offensive tackle.
Let's hope 2025 is the year Schneider fools most 12s, though. Maybe Seattle will choose a guard in the first round. Then, Seattle will trade back into the first round and take another guard. It won't happen, but it's nice to dream.
Seahawks mock draft tracker proves no one really knows what Seattle will do
ESPN's Field Yates: Offensive lineman Armand Membou, Missouri
Yates begins his write-up for the Seahawks in a most logical way, but one is that is false as well. He wrote, "The Seahawks will undoubtedly work to shore up the offensive line this offseason..." One would hope, but 12s know better than to expect general manager John Schneider to address the interior of the offensive line early in the draft.
Membou has the size (he is 6'3" and 314 pounds) and the strength to play right away in the NFL, but that likely will be for a different team than Seattle. That's a loss for the Seahawks.
The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner and Dane Brugler: Guard Tyler Booker, Alabama
Baumgardner and Brugler came up with the mock drafts separately, but both still had Booker going to Seattle. The same issue with Membou holds true here. While getting Booker would be great for Seattle, Schneider is unlikely to go in that direction. At 6'5" and 325 pounds, though, he is ready for the league.
Pro Football Focus's Trevor Sikkema: Edge rusher Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M
Stewart is 6'5" and 281 pounds of muscle and quickness, so he has the traits to be quite good. The problem is that his production numbers in college and extremely underwhelming. He had just 1.5 sacks in each of his three seasons. One might wonder if he is simply an impressive physical specimen who can never translate that to high-end success.
NFL.com's Chad Reuter: Defensive tackle Derrick Harmon, Oregon
Harmon is much more in the mold of the Seahawks 2024 first-round pick Byron Murphy II in that he will probably be more of a run-stopper than a pass rusher, at least early in his career. He is 6'5" and 330 pounds but could add a bit of muscle. He is strong, but not extremely quick. Still, after transferring from Michigan State to Oregon in the final year of college, he had his best season with five sacks and 11 tackles for loss.
NFL.com's Cynthia Frelund: Offensive lineman Donovan Jackson, Ohio State
Frelund, like Yates, Baumgardner, and Brugler, has the right idea here, but not one Schneider is probably going to do. The difference with the 6'4" and 320-pound Jackson, though, is that he offers more positional flexibility than Booker. This might entice Schneider to take a chance on him thinking that if Abe Lucas gets hurt again, Jackson could always bounce out to play right tackle.
He was mostly a guard during his time with the Buckeyes, but in his last nine games, he played exclusively at left tackle. Schneider likes those kinds of guys.
Pro Football Network: Offensive tackle Cameron Williams, Texas
Williams is a right tackle. That is the only spot he ever played at Texas, but he didn't play much at all until this past season. In other words, Seattle would be taking him to basically sit for a season while Abe Lucas finishes out his current deal and Williams replaces him in 2026.
