Breaking News: Seahawks Now Own 10 Picks in the 2025 NFL Draft After Recent Trades
After a series of strategic moves, the Seattle Seahawks find themselves in an enviable position heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, holding a total of 10 picks. The front office’s flurry of trade activity over the past several weeks has helped the team stockpile valuable draft capital, setting up Seattle to add key talent as they continue to shape the roster for the future.
General Manager John Schneider and head coach Mike Macdonald have made it clear that building through the draft remains a priority. By flipping veterans for picks and moving strategically in previous deals, the Seahawks now have an impressive mix of early and mid-round selections — including multiple picks on Day 2, which has traditionally been where Seattle has found some of its most impactful players.
Among their 10 selections, the Seahawks currently hold their own first-round pick, along with additional picks in both the second and third rounds thanks to earlier trades. They also own a handful of selections in the fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds, giving them flexibility to move up or down the draft board if needed.
“We’re really excited about the flexibility this gives us,” Schneider said in a recent interview. “We can address multiple areas of need, or if the right player is there, we can be aggressive and move up. It’s a great position to be in.”
The additional draft capital could not come at a better time for the Seahawks, who are in the early stages of a mini-rebuild under first-year head coach Macdonald. With key needs at positions like offensive line, defensive line, and secondary, Seattle now has the ammunition to add young, cost-controlled players who fit the team’s vision for the future.
Analysts have praised the Seahawks’ patient and methodical approach this offseason. Rather than spending heavily in free agency, Seattle opted to clear cap space and focus on long-term roster building. Their strategy has drawn comparisons to successful team-building models seen with franchises like the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs.
“Having 10 picks gives them a chance to reset their roster depth,” said NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah. “They can take swings at premium positions and develop guys the right way.”
Of course, not all 10 selections are guaranteed to be used by Seattle. Schneider is known for his willingness to trade up or down during the draft, depending on how the board falls. With the extra ammunition, the Seahawks could easily maneuver to grab a coveted player who slips or trade back to add even more picks in future drafts.
As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, excitement is building among Seahawks fans. Many are eager to see how the team will use its treasure trove of picks to reshape the roster and return to playoff contention.
For now, one thing is certain: the Seahawks are armed and ready, with 10 draft picks and a clear plan to build a competitive team for years to come.
