Seahawks Focus on Offense in 2025 Senior Bowl Mock Draft
With the Super Bowl just around the corner, the Seattle Seahawks are shifting their focus to the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. This week marks a pivotal time for the organization as the Senior Bowl and the East/West Shrine Game showcase top football talent, providing an opportunity for players to elevate their draft stock.
Under the guidance of general manager John Schneider, the Seahawks have consistently valued the Senior Bowl as a key event in their draft preparations. Last year, they selected five players from this prestigious event, including tight end AJ Barner and linebacker Tyrice Knight, who have already begun to show promise in their rookie seasons. As we look ahead, it’s expected that the Seahawks will target at least three or four players from the Senior Bowl in this year’s draft.
In this mock draft, we’ll explore what a Seahawks draft class could look like if they exclusively selected players from this week’s Senior Bowl, based on nine projected picks:
Round 1, Pick 18 – Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
After a long hiatus from selecting a quarterback in the first round, Schneider may finally look to the future with Jaxson Dart. Dart boasts a powerful arm and impressive accuracy, having led the FBS with 17 touchdowns on passes over 20 yards last season while completing nearly 70% of his attempts. He is also a capable runner, having rushed for over 550 yards in each of the past three seasons. Although he has room for improvement in reading defenses, his potential makes him a worthy first-round candidate for the Seahawks.
Round 2, Pick 50 – Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss
Umanmielen, a transfer from Florida, had a standout senior season with the Rebels, recording 10.5 sacks and 55 pressures. His explosive first step and ability to convert speed to power make him a formidable edge rusher. At 264 pounds, he can adapt to various defensive schemes, whether as a traditional 4-3 defensive end or a stand-up linebacker in a 3-4 setup. With further development, he could become a significant contributor to the Seahawks’ defense.
Round 3, Pick 82 – Miles Frazier, G, LSU
After transferring to LSU, Frazier quickly established himself as a reliable pass protector. He allowed only six pressures in 474 pass-blocking snaps and didn’t concede a sack in his senior year. At 6-5 and 324 pounds, he offers the physicality and length that Seattle needs to bolster its offensive line. His skills would be particularly valuable given the ongoing pass protection issues the Seahawks face.
Round 4, Pick 137 – Lathan Ransom, S, Ohio State
Though he may not have garnered as much attention as his teammate Caleb Downs, Ransom has the potential to be a starter in the NFL. His versatility allows him to play both deep safety and in the box, where he excelled against the run. With 78 total tackles and the ability to pressure quarterbacks, he could provide much-needed depth and competitiveness to Seattle’s secondary.
Round 5, Pick 173 – Pat Bryant, WR, Illinois
In a run-heavy offense, Bryant emerged as a standout receiver, averaging over 18 yards per catch and tying for fifth nationally with six touchdown receptions on deep passes. His development this past season has positioned him as a promising prospect. Adding him to the Seahawks’ wide receiver corps could complement stars like DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Round 5, Pick 187 – Jake Briningstool, TE, Clemson
Briningstool, more of a receiving threat than a typical tight end, has created mismatches for defenders with his athleticism and receiving skills. He caught 99 passes for over 1,000 yards in his final two seasons. While he may need to improve his blocking, he could thrive in a tight-end-friendly scheme under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
Round 6, Pick 196 – Alfred Collins, DT, Texas
Collins has been a steady force on a talented Texas defensive line, posting impressive numbers as a run defender. Weighing in at 320 pounds, he possesses the strength to hold his ground and could be a valuable addition to Seattle’s front line, particularly in stopping the run in the competitive NFC West.
Round 6, Pick 212 – LeQuint Allen, RB, Syracuse
Allen has established himself as one of the ACC’s top backs, demonstrating his toughness and versatility with both running and receiving capabilities. He averaged three yards after contact and proved to be a reliable option in the passing game. As the Seahawks look to add depth to their backfield, Allen could be an intriguing option, especially with Ken Walker III entering the final year of his contract.
Round 7, Pick 235 – Jackson Slater, G/C, Sacramento State
A local product, Slater has shown exceptional skill at Sacramento State, becoming a dominant force on the offensive line. Despite being slightly undersized at 6-3, he has long arms and solid technique, making him a promising candidate to develop into a starter in the NFL.
As the Seahawks prepare for the draft, the selections made during the Senior Bowl could play a crucial role in shaping the future of the team. Each of these prospects brings unique strengths that align with the Seahawks’ current needs and long-term goals.
