Seahawks 2025 Draft Class: A Redraft Success, Setting Up Super Bowl Runs
The Seattle Seahawks 2025 draft class, as re-evaluated by The Athletic, showcases the teams exceptional scouting and drafting skills. General manager John Schneiders picks, including offensive lineman Zabel and hybrid safety Emmanwori, proved instrumental in the teams Super Bowl victories.
In this hypothetical redraft, the Seahawks secure UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger in round one, further bolstering their defense. Schneiders strategic moves, such as saving cap space and locking in key players, have positioned the team for success in upcoming drafts and beyond.
With only four picks in the 2026 draft and a shallow class, the Seahawks depth needs are covered, thanks to Schneiders forward-thinking approach. His efforts have earned him a contract extension through 2031, reflecting his invaluable contributions to the teams continued elite status.

On April 21st, the Seattle Seahawks crushed it with their 2025 NFL draft class, turning rookies into Super Bowl studs. A redraft by the Athletic shows those picks would have flown way higher across the league, proving General Manager John Schneider nailed it big time. Schneider snagged offensive lineman Zabel, just two spots after his original slot, plus hybrid safety M&W in Round 2. Zabel powered the run game up front despite some early bumps, while M&W lit up the field in the box and backfield, locking down that, championship defense. In this redo, Seahawks hypothetically grabbed UCLA linebacker, Carson Schwestinger, in Round 1, a defensive rookie beast. Fans and analysts are buzzing, giving Schneider props for building blocks that fueled the title run without major overhalls. Heading into the 2026 draft, Seattle's got only four picks, but their set with depth needs covered in a shallow class. Schneider's off-season chess moves saved cap space, locked in key guys like Jackson Smith and Jigba and I that loaded 2027 pool.
His forward-thinking built two different Super Bowl squads, earning a fat extension through 2031, though after this past year, he straight up deserves a bump, Seahawks stay a lead.
