The Seattle Seahawks have been busy making fans happy through the first round and the early part of the second round in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Thursday evening it was the selection of guard Grey Zabel to solidify the interior of the offensive line that had fans excited, and then on Friday it was a trade up to pick 35 to add safety Nick Emmanwori early in the second round.

Round 2, pick 50
Round 3, pick 92
And now we know what the team has opted to do with the first of those selections, as the pick has been announced as Elijah Arroyo out of Miami.
