The Seattle Seahawks<\/a> made a league-high 11 selections during the 2025 NFL draft. With training camp mere weeks away, the Seahawks possess high hopes for several of those first-year talents to be immediate contributors. First-round pick Grey Zabel<\/a> will start at left guard, and second-round safety Nick Emmanwori<\/a> figures to play a massive role as well.<\/p>\n

The 33rd Team analyzed each team’s draft class. They anointed the Seahawks as one of the most improved teams in the league following the NFL draft festivities. That feels notable heading into camp.<\/p>\n

“Seattle entered this draft with a lot of picks and not many immediate needs,” Ian Valentine wrote<\/a>. “Their recent investments in this roster mean they’re young and unproven, but not lacking overall talent. Seattle wisely played the board for needs but was also unafraid to make some great value additions that made sense.”<\/p>\n

Valentine is likely referring to Zabel and Emmanwori. While Zabel was a combination of a need and best player available pick, John Schneider traded up 17 spots to nab Emmanwori, a potential impact defender, despite having Coby Bryant and Julian Love on the roster at safety.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Seahawks are unpredictable on paper. If they’re to compete for the NFC West division title, they’ll need instant production from members of their rookie class.<\/p>\n
