What are the Seattle Seahawks' biggest needs in the 2025 NFL Draft?

The Seattle Seahawks hold the 18th overall pick in the first round and have a total of 10 picks in the 2025 NFL draft. Their biggest needs include help on the offensive line, at wide receiver, cornerback, safety, and along the defensive line. According to ESPN, their top priorities are strengthening the offensive line, adding a defensive tackle, and a wide receiver.

Offensive Line

The Seahawks have an urgent need to improve the interior of their offensive line, and with their pick, they strongly considered two top prospects including Tyler Booker and Grey Zabel from North Dakota State (via Seattle Seahawks’ official website).

Wide Receiver

According to a seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft on the NFL’s official website, the Seahawks could select Tetairoa McMillan, a wide receiver from Arizona, with the 18th overall pick in first round. After trading away DK Metcalf, the team needed a big receiver, and McMillan is a great fit.

Safety

According to a seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft on the NFL’s official website, the Seahawks could use their 223rd pick in Round 7 to select R.J. Mickens, a safety from Clemson. They are also projected to draft Nick Emmanwori, a safety from South Carolina, according to Sports Illustrated.
