R1 — #32 >>> #36 — Trade with the Cardinals

The Seahawks do a deal with their division rivals, who move up two spots into the late first. A fifth round pick exchanges hands, with the Seahawks getting #143. There’s a 30 point difference between #32 and #34 on the trade value chart and #143 is worth 34.5 points.

R2 — #34 >>> #40 — Trade with the Chiefs

Another deal, this time moving down an extra six spots. In 2014, the Seahawks moved from #32 to #40, then down to #45 before picking Paul Richardson. Something similar could happen in this draft. The Seahawks get the 109th pick in the deal. There’s a 60 point gap between #34 and #40, while #109 is worth 76 points.

R2 — #40 — Treydan Stukes (S, Arizona)

Smart, tough, reliable. Stukes ticks all of those boxes. I watched several of his interviews this week and was blown away with how impressive he is. It’s very easy to imagine the Seahawks rating him very highly. Then you take into account his gritty backstory (walk-on, coming back from injuries), how evident his mental processing is, his physical style of play, his range (4.33 speed) and overall athletic profile, production (four interceptions in 2025) and his commitment to staying at Arizona when he had options to leave.

The Seahawks were prepared to pay Coby Bryant to stay, so it’s plausible they will invest in a replacement. Stukes screams Seahawks — and while the medicals will need to be checked given his ACL injury in 2024, if he gets the all-clear it’s possible he’ll be high on Seattle’s wanted list.

R2 — #64 Beau Stephens (G, Iowa)

Many people expect Stephens to last possibly into day three but I’m not sure. With the third best zone-blocking grade in the draft he might be higher on boards than people think. It’s been reported that Iowa is really pushing Stephens and that he won the Hayden Fry Award twice for exemplary leadership and dedication on and off the field. This all sounds like the kind of player the Seahawks would be interested in.

Stephens sinks his hips well to anchor, he’s adept at getting on the move and reaching up to the second level. He has the brawling mentality you expect from an Iowa lineman and there are examples on tape of him turning defenders and finishing his blocks to the turf.

I have a hunch that they’ll want to keep adding to their line and we could see a trenches pick early on. If they decide against taking Emmanuel Pregnon or Keylan Rutledge with their top pick (as some have hinted at), Stephens could be an option later. He has experience playing right guard.

R3 — #92 <<< #96 — Trade with the Cowboys

The Seahawks get aggressive (sort of) moving up four spots in round three to make sure they get their guy. They give up their sixth round pick, #188 overall, in a deal with Dallas. The points difference between the two picks is 16 and the 188th pick is worth 15.8 points.

R3 — #92 Jonah Coleman (RB, Washington)

I just have a feeling that Coleman is the man for Seattle. His personality and running style fits the team identity. They seemingly showed some interest in David Montgomery before he was dealt to Houston and Coleman’s running style is similar.

Anyone brought into Seattle’s locker-room is going to have to fit. Coleman already has relationships with players on the team.

His 2024 production is the thing to note here. A 19.8% explosive run rate would’ve ranked second among all players in the draft this year. His 34.9% missed tackle forced rate would’ve been well ahead of everyone else. A 4.34 yards after contact per attempt would’ve been second only to Jeremiyah Love.

The Seahawks might find a way to make sure they get Coleman on their roster rather than just sitting and hoping. That’s why I have them moving up four spots when he gets into range.

R4 — #109 Ephesians Prysock (CB, Washington)

The pick acquired from the Chiefs is used on a long, athletic cornerback. I have a hunch that’s what the Seahawks are looking for to replace Riq Woolen.

It’s worth noting that aside from Devin Witherspoon, the earliest the Seahawks have used a pick on a cornerback was #90 overall (Shaquill Griffin). It’s entirely possible they take one earlier than this but I also think they might wait and take a chance on developing someone selected in this range.

Pryscock is 6-4, 194lbs with 33.5 inch arms. He doesn’t have the production and dropped some catchable interceptions. But his frame allows him to compete in contested situations and his run defense grade was a strong 82.3. His GPS speed at the Senior Bowl was faster than Colton Hood, Bud Clark and Malik Muhammad.

R5 — #143 Mason Reiger (EDGE, Wisconsin)

I do think the Seahawks are going to draft a pass-rusher at some point — and they might not wait until round five. If they do, and Reiger is still available, he feels like a fit in terms of playing style and personality.

He’s 6-5 and 251lbs and plays with such a competitive edge. He ran a very solid 1.61 10-yard split and consistently battles through contact, finding ways to impact the pocket. His motor doesn’t stop and he does a good job getting off blocks. He also puts a lot of effort into his run-blocking.

Reiger isn’t necessarily going to come in and elevate Seattle’s pass-rush — but he could provide some youth and depth following Boye Mafe’s departure, without the pressure of needing to find a higher pick more reps to justify the investment (especially if they intend to sign someone like Von Miller after the draft).
