It has already been a very entertaining offseason for the Seattle Seahawks. It was recently announced that star wide receiver DK Metcalf requested a trade, which would be a massive blow to the offense. It’s also expected that we may have seen the last of wide receiver Tyler Lockett, and quarterback Geno Smith has been rumored to potentially be available as well.

There’s one thing that’s certain, this team is going to look a lot differently. The 2025 NFL Draft class is going to be important to figure out what this Seahawks team is going to look like long term. Obviously, the offense was a huge area of focus for obvious reason in this most recent mock draft.

Round 1, Pick 18: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

The Seahawks have a massive need at right tackle, and Membou feels like a no-brainer to slide into that spot. He has had a ton of experience at right tackle, and has the requisite length and athleticism to stick on an island. Membou’s rise since the beginning of the season has been awesome to watch.

Round 2, Pick 50: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

Don’t think of Harris as the person who could be potentially replacing DK Metcalf. He is just a talented pass catcher that the room desperately needs as the team says goodbye to some notable performers. Harris has the savviness, technical prowess, and ball skills to become a very good member of the passing game.

Round 3, Pick 82: Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame

While Watts might not be the most dynamic athlete of all time, he is certainly one of the most intelligent. His wide receiver background really shows up with his ability to create turnovers. Watts just always seems to be in the right place.

Round 4, Pick 137: David Walker, EDGE, Central Arkansas

Walker is a bit of an outlier due to his size, but man, he’s an outstanding football player. He brings excellent twitch to the table, is a very tactical rusher, and also boasts absurd power. Walker should at worst become a valuable pass rush specialist.

Round 5, Pick 173: Kaden Prather, WR, Maryland

With wide receiver suddenly becoming such a major need, this team will need to invest heavily into the room. Prather didn’t quite take the step most hoped for in 2024, but his combination of height, weight, and speed suggests his best days are still in front of him.

Round 6, Pick 187: Elijah Roberts, DT, SMU

Roberts began his career at Miami, eventually transferring over to continue playing under head coach Rhett Lashlee. He has played a lot on the edge but Roberts projects best inside. That creates some nice alignment opportunities.

Round 6, Pick 212: Jonah Monheim, IOL, USC

After playing a lot at offensive tackle previously at USC, Monheim moved inside to center this past season. His power profile still needs to develop but he brings a lot of movement skills and experience worth developing.

Round 7, Pick 236: Oronde Gadsden II, TE, Syracuse

Gadsden played mostly slot receiver for Syracuse, but he has been steadily growing into his frame recently. He is a very good athlete at the tight end position but learning to play inline as a blocker will be a major adjustment.
