How Many Picks Do the Seahawks Have in the 2025 NFL Draft?
The Seahawks currently have six picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, possessing their original selections in every round except for Round 5.
The Seahawks’ fifth-round pick was part of a midseason trade for New York Giants defensive tackle Leonard Williams. Seattle gave up a 2024 second-round pick and its 2025 fifth-round pick in exchange for the veteran defensive lineman.

To this point, that is the only Seahawks draft pick in 2025 that has been impacted by a trade.
Historically, under the oversight of general manager John Schneider, the Seahawks have been proficient at accumulating extra capital during a given cycle — either through trades or the compensatory process.
Since Schneider became the Seahawks’ general manager in 2010, Seattle has only had one draft class with fewer than eight selections — the 2021 class, when the Seahawks made only three picks.
What Are the Seahawks’ Biggest Needs in 2025?
Quarterback is a looming long-term need for the Seahawks. Veteran Geno Smith has ascended to Pro Bowler status in Seattle, but his contract is up after the 2025 season, and he’ll soon be the subject of extension talks.
At almost 34 years old, the prospect of a longer extension may be precarious, especially if Smith regresses in 2024.
Since his breakout in 2022, Smith has mostly played at a high level for Seattle, so there’s no reason to think his peak is fading — but it’s a potential outcome to be aware of.
Elsewhere on offense, wide receiver is worth a glance, as both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett will be free agents in two years post-2025. Jaxon Smith-Njigba should help carry the torch if one of them leaves, but Seattle may soon need to reinvest at WR.
Going further, tight end is a potential need, with Pharaoh Brown nearing free agency in 2025 and Noah Fant following suit in 2026.
On the offensive line, at least two of the team’s three interior spots could be glaring needs by the offseason, and right tackle is also an ongoing question mark with Abraham Lucas’ health.

On the other side of the ball, defensive tackles Jarran Reed and Johnathan Hankins are both scheduled to be free agents, as are the team’s two starting inside linebackers, Jerome Baker and Tyrel Dodson.
The same goes for rotational cornerbacks Tre Brown and Michael Jackson — the latter of whom was tendered on a one-year restricted free agent deal in 2024.
