Why
Seattle needs to reinforce OT and DL; those are the two positions currently lacking a clear starter or reliable depth. Beyond that, S and LB also require competition to avoid falling short in the medium term.

Track record read
John Schneider and the Seahawks consistently return to the first round, prioritizing both sides of the trenches and the secondary. There's a clear pattern of investing in impact DTs like Byron Murphy II and Jer'Zhan Newton, without shying away from high-upside offensive tackles. They also show a preference for athletic running backs in Round 2, such as Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet, and aren't afraid to bet on non-Power Five talent if the fit is right.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Three names per every pick.
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Carter Smith
Indiana
OTSmith fills the hole at starting LT; his pass mechanics are already pro-ready. Very high floor for an elite tackle.
Colin Simmons
Texas
DLHis first step revitalizes our DL rotation. He's a third-down terror, but if he sets the edge against the run, the ceiling is elite.
KJ Bolden
Georgia
SProvides the chess piece in the secondary that the Seattle defense needs. His versatility and athleticism are an anchor, though polishing his aggressiveness will define if he is elite.
Second round
3 names
Trevor Lauck
Iowa
OTGives them an OT to anchor the right side of the line, but watch out as his lateral range limits his ceiling against elite pass rush.
Damon Wilson II
Miami
DLInstant pop off the edge that Seattle needs. If the anchor improves, this kid has a double-digit sack ceiling.
Zach Lutmer
Iowa
SFixes the secondary from day one, a general in the back who processes and anchors; doesn't have premium speed, but compensates with his mental map.
Third round
3 names
Anthonie Knapp
Notre Dame
OTKnapp is the LT of the future with elite athleticism. If the anchor develops, you have a cornerstone; if not, he'll be a rotational tackle.
Ahmad Moten
Miami
DLInterior strength that the Seahawks badly need on the DL; if he maintains his pad level, he will be a key anchor against the run.
Caleb Weaver
Sam Houston
SWeaver anchors the back-end, giving that secondary the enforcer it needs; the floor is high, but hip stiffness is a concern.
