The Seattle Seahawks recently participated in rookie minicamp, awarding their 2025 NFL draft class with their first taste of professional football. That included the undrafted free agents, who joined John Schneider’s 11 draft picks. The Seahawks spent a considerable amount of money in undrafted free agency this year.
Fantasy Life’s Thor Nystrom does a fantastic job compiling information on UDFAs every year. Nystrom recently released his annual undrafted rankings. The Seahawks rank No. 3 out of 32, insinuating they possess one of the better UDFA classes in the league.

“I thought the Seahawks had one of the NFL’s better draft classes,” Nystrom wrote. “They followed that up with a top-3 overall UDFA haul in the NFL.”
Nystrom begins his analysis of Seattle’s undrafted class with defensive linemen Jared Ivey, one of the more well-known undrafted signings. “EDGE Jared Ivey is a skilled power end with speed limitations and lower-body stiffness,” Nystrom says. “Ivey’s combination of muscle and hand usage is likely to turn him into a long-term NFL backup. His pass-rushing production from last year—his 31 hurries were No. 14 in the FBS—is the thing he’s going to lose in translation.”
“CB Zy Alexander is another productive defender from the SEC with an ideal frame but poor athletic testing numbers. Alexander is an experienced press-man corner who was 81st-percentile PFF coverage grade last season. Blessed with long arms and sound technique, Alexander ranked No. 2 in this class with a 3.2% missed tackle rate last season.”
