We’ve obtained two weeks to go earlier than the Seattle Seahawks are on the clock on the 2025 NFL Draft. For the time being, Seattle is ready for a lot of journeys to the rostrum, with 10 whole picks and half of them within the high 100.
Over the previous couple of years we’ve accomplished open threads asking Subject Gulls readers about particular gamers they do NOT need to see drafted by the Seahawks. It’s a hell of quite a bit simpler to fantasize about gamers you need in a Seahawks uniform—possibly a market inefficiency is developing with a nightmare mock draft—so this dialogue is all about gamers you don’t need John Schneider to even choose up the cellphone to name.
Similar to final 12 months, the Seahawks are in the midst of the primary spherical after narrowly lacking the playoffs. We are able to safely rule out the likes of Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter from being wherever in the identical zip code because the Seahawks after they’re on the clock at No. 18 (barring some unimaginable commerce up).
Going by way of our 2024 thread, I could have regrets about not wanting Bo Nix but in addition Bo Nix below Ryan Grubb may need led to the worst rookie season in NFL historical past. Thus far he’s proving me mistaken in Denver. Chop Robinson additionally had a strong rookie season however I didn’t have any regrets concerning the Seahawks not taking him. Aside from one remark saying “no DT at 16” nobody explicitly mentioned to not choose Byron Murphy II.
I don’t actually maintain tremendous sturdy opinions about a lot of the top-end of this class. Having signed Sam Darnold, drafting Tyler Shough early could be dangerous course of to me given he’s going to be 26 years outdated with a deep damage historical past and just one full season of faculty productiveness. I don’t dislike Shough as a prospect however any group who takes him principally must be beginning him inside two seasons, in any other case you’ve successfully accomplished the Brandon Weeden choose over again. Ole Miss vast receiver Tre Harris doesn’t actually do a lot for me and neither does TCU’s Savion Williams. Tyler Booker might nonetheless be a really gifted NFL guard but when he’s not a schematic match for the Seahawks then I don’t need to have schematic mismatches and catastrophe lurking off of it.
Nobody on protection is “should keep away from” for me exterior of being a draft attain. I’m not overly enthused watching Mykel Williams and I don’t see James Pearce Jr as a very sturdy cross rusher on the subsequent degree.
There’s no level in doing a ballot as a result of it’s fully impractical. That is an open-ended dialogue solely as a result of there might be too many alternative responses for a share breakdown to be significant. It’s successfully implied that “should keep away from” gamers are high prospects and never Day 3 picks, so slender your focus to projected first-, second-, and even third-round prospects. In the event you’re freaking out over a sixth- or seventh-round choose… I imply you do you.
Your reasoning for not wanting the Seahawks to draft sure gamers is as much as you (until it’s a direct private assault, by which case assume twice earlier than submitting that remark).
