The 2025 NFL Draft is wrapped up, and for the Seattle Seahawks, there’s a lot to be optimistic about looking forward. Having already addressed their quarterback issue, offensive line was the primary target. That was more than handled this year and then some.
The Big Names
Picking at 18, there was a bit of fear that general manager John Schneider would do his trademark trade down or out of the first round. However, he more than satisfied expectations by taking Grey Zabel, arguably the most versatile and best fitting offensive lineman for the Seahawks.
Zabel played just about every position on the line in college, so he figures to slot into an interior role. However, if the offensive line is plagued with injuries once more, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Zabel play any of the five positions. He’s big, physical, and loves to play a hard-nosed style of football. The perfect fit for a run-heavy scheme that Mike Macdonald is trying to implement.
