In 2025, the Seattle Seahawks have undergone significant transformations. They bid farewell to their legendary receiving pair, DK Metcalf and Tyler Locketl, and saw their quarterback, Geno Smith, move to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Sam Darnold is now responsible for steering the Seahawks' offensive efforts. In the most recent developments, seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft From Pawonation’s Brentley Weissman, he acquires a top-tier wide receiver in the opening round who can assist with that objective.
18) Tetairoa McMillan, Wide Receiver, Arizona
Following the trade of DK Metcalf and the departure of Tyler Locketz via free agency, receivers emerged as an urgent priority for the Seattle Seahawks," Weissman stated. "Tetairoa McMillan drops into their hands at this point, making such a perfect match impossible to pass up.
'McMillan is a physically imposing receiver who would pair well with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, known for his agility and accurate routes. Adding McMillan means quarterback Sam Darnold now has two skilled wideouts to utilize.'
The Seahawks bolstered their roster by signing Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling during the free-agency period; however, these changes have seemingly erased the distinctive character of the Seahawks' offensive strategy. Although Kupp is expected to be a reliable asset, he is closely linked with the Seahawks' divisional foes, the Los Angeles Rams. Similarly, despite potential success for Darnold and Valdes-Scantling in Seattle, everything seems hastily assembled rather than carefully planned.
Securing a crucial offensive player via the draft could restore a modest feeling of control. Additionally, McMillon’s evident skill set would finalize an offensive overhaul that so far seems somewhat disappointing.
50) Wyatt Milum, Original Gangster from West Virginia
"A college tackle with less than ideal height, Wyatt Milum is most likely to find his niche as a guard in the NFL. Known for being tough and consistent, he has the potential to fortify the weaker sections of the Seahawks' offensive line," Weissman stated.
In 2024, Geno Smith faced 57 sacks, tying him with Jared Goff for the fifth-highest total in the league. The squad additionally saw Laken Tomlinson depart via free agency after he had played in every one of the 17 games during that season. Milum might step directly into the position left open by Tomlinson as the organization strives to enhance protection for Darnold.
52) Azareye'h Thomas, Corner Back, Florida State
"Azareye'h Thomas shouts from the corner of Seattle with his height and all-around athletic ability. Despite being quite young and still growing as a player, he possesses the natural gifts needed to evolve into a high-caliber starting option in the league," Weissman stated.
Seattle has recently seen the departure of Tre Brown and Artie Burns through free agency, making the addition of another cornerbacks a logical move. Thomas could provide an improvement over these departing defenders; however, he might need to bide his time as multiple skilled cornerbacks are already part of the team’s lineup.
82) Barrett Carter, Linebacker from Clemson
"Seattle keeps strengthening their defense and is now looking to bolster the linebacker position. Barrett Carter is an ideal three-down linebacker known for his impressive athleticism and instincts," Weissman stated.
Carter registered double-digit tackles for loss in each of his final three years in college. The Seahawks would hope he can do the same for them after managing just 74 in 2024, the eighth fewest in the NFL.
92) Quinn Ewers, quarterback from Texas
"Seattle acquired Darnold during the off-season with the intention of having him as their quarterback through at least 2025; however, doubts remain about whether Darnold will ultimately prove to be the right choice for the role. In my view, Quinn Ewers faces undue criticism and possesses sufficient skill to warrant being selected in the third round," Weissman stated.
Ewers is among a select few quarterbacks expected to be selected on Day 2 of the April draft. Although Seattle recently signed Darnold to a long-term contract, that agreement could quickly become nullified if he doesn't perform well. Despite showing promise with Kevin O'Connell in Minnesota last year, this single successful season has not been sufficient to erase memories of his previous difficulties.
In the 2025 season, Ewers will start as Darnold’s backup, yet he might swiftly seize a chance to shine should Darnold return to his former habits.
137) Jeffrey Bassa, Linebacker from Oregon
Jeffrey Bassa, who previously played as a safety, transitioned to linebacker at Oregon and thrived when defending against both rushes and throws. As the captain of the Oregon defense in 2024, he tallied three tackles behind the line of scrimmage, 1.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and two passes defensed.
172) Fadil Diggs from EDGE, based in Syracuse
An outstanding player highlighted by his remarkable combine showing, Fadil Diggs excelled when it mattered most during his collegiate career. Following four seasons with Texas A&M, Diggs moved to Syracuse where he recorded 7.5 sacks, 14 tackles for loss, one deflected pass, one forced fumble, and one recovered fumble throughout his final year.
175) Ahmed Hassanein, EDGE, Boise State University
Even though Ahmed Hassanein didn't start playing football until 2019, he found himself competing for Boise State by 2021. Despite needing time to grow as a player, he emerged significantly during his junior season. Throughout his last two years of collegiate play, Hassanein accumulated an impressive record of 22 sacks, 33 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.
223) Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Defensive Tackle, Georgia
Despite his stature, Tyrus Ingram-Dawkins possesses exceptional agility, which might have gained him more recognition if he had switched schools from Georgia. Taking advantage of Mykel Williams' injury, Ingram-Dawkins was able to showcase his abilities in 2024. As a talented defensive lineman, he recorded three sacks and eight tackles for loss, added one forced fumble, and deflected two passes during his restricted playing time toward the end of his career.
234) Xavier Truss, Offensive Guard, University of Georgia
Xavier Truss is an outstanding physical presence, standing 6 feet 7 inches tall with large hands and a wide wingspan. Given where he was selected in the later stages of the draft, betting on such a physically gifted player who secured a starting position at Georgia is always a wise move.
