Seahawks 2025 mock draft after preseason Week 2: Getting offensive

The Seattle Seahawks are a long way from the 2025 NFL draft. That does not mean, though, that the scouting group of the franchise is just doing nothing. They are actively looking at players who could be the next group of Seattle rookies.

John Schneider also will be heavily invested in finding players who can make the future better. There is no downtime for general managers. If the team isn't playing a game, the GM is thinking ahead, of course.

In this first far-too-early Seahawks mock draft, I decided to go only offense. Seattle even gets their quarterback of the future in the first round. To help create the mock, I used Pro Football Network's mock draft simulator. Seattle has a lot of young pieces on defense, so getting the offense younger as well is key.

Way-too-early Seattle Seahawks 2025 mock draft goes all-in on the offense

First round, pick No. 12 - Shedeur Sanders, Quarterback, Colorado

Sanders might not have the strongest of arms, but he is super accurate. He is also going to be well-prepared for the NFL by his father, Deion. The issue is might be almost too prepared in terms of how Deion wants Shedeur to be coached. The quarterback has been been relatively shielded by his father and how Shedeur reacts to a head coach who isn't in his family remains to be seen.

There is also a good chance that the quarterback gets into the top five of the 2025 draft class. His college numbers are excellent, and he doesn't turn the ball over. If he can show that his arm strength has improved, he has no real weaknesses.

Second round, pick No. 44 - Donovan Jackson, Guard, Ohio State

Jackson is 6'4" and 320 pounds with 36" arms. In other words, he already has the kind of size needed to play right away in the NFL. He also has been taught well at Ohio State so there should not be too sharp of a learning curve in the league. He does tend to want to dance with defenders too often instead of pushing forward, but he has the strength to do so.

Jackson has started 26 straight games entering his final year in college. He is solely a left guard, but that is what the Seahawks will need next year. Veteran Laken Tomlinson was signed to a one-year deal and there is no heir apparent to replace him on the current roster.

Third round, pick No. 76 - Bryson Nesbit, Tight end, North Carolina

Nesbit isn't going to directly replace Pharaoh Brown as the UNC product is much more of a Noah Fant type. But Brown likely won't be with the team past 2024 and Fant is signed through 2025. Plus, Seattle took AJ Barner in the draft and he should be a very good blocker. Seattle might need a tight end in the 2025 draft. Nesbit would give the Seahawks another offensive weapon as he can overpower defensive backs and is too quick for linebackers.

Fourth round, pick No. 109 - Earnest Greene III, Offensive tackle, Georgia

Seattle might not need an offensive tackle if Abe Lucas can finally play again and maintain his health. Or, if Lucas cannot consistently play, the Seahawks might be in desperate need for a tackle. Greene is still a bit raw and he likely lacks high-end athleticism, but he is strong enough to play in the NFL.

With a very good year, he could jump up draft boards and if Seattle wants the 6'4" and 320-pound player, they will have to choose him in a higher round.

Sixth round, pick No. 171 - Kyren Lacy, Wide receiver, LSU

Lacy has good size at 6'2" and 215 pounds, and he does not seem to be a pure outside receiver. He can even line up in the slot and understands how to beat his defender. What he lacks so far is consistency and he has had an issue with drops in college. He will probably be a No. 1 receiver for LSU, but more like a No. 3 in the NFL.

Seventh round, pick No. 203 - Jaylin Lucas, Running back, Florida State

Lucas isn't big - he is 5'9" and 175 pounds - and he isn't ever going to be an RB1 in the NFL, but he is electric as a kick returner. With the NFL changing its kick return rules, and Seahawks general manager John Schneider clearly trying to find players who can exploit the new alignments, Lucas could be a seventh-round steal with instant impact.
