On April 3rd, Seattle Seahawks just hoisted the Super Bowl trophy after dominating the 2025 season and now it's time to check how those. Top rookie picks stacked up against preseason hype. We're talking the first five draft choices from Grey's Able on the offensive line to Riley Mills on defense. Predictions were bold, results were real, some hits, some misses, but overall this class helped fuel that championship run. Grey's Able came closest to a perfect prediction, playing nearly every snap except for 10 missed ones from a late season scare against the Rams. He bounced back quick, locked down the line, and turned into a fan-favorite fast, solid pick that pays off for years. Rookie's like Nick Emanwari, exceeded expectations while Elijah Arroyo fell short of the hype. Jalen Milro bombed his early chances, sitting behind Sam Darnold and Drew Locke, no surprise there. Fans grumbled a bit on the busts, but the winds overshadowed it all. Riley Mills had a red shirt vibe, barely seeing action into the playoffs, but he flashed big with his first career sack in the Super Bowl, wrecking.
Two guys at once. Shoes promised despite this low start. Overall, two near nails and bright futures ahead. I'm Milro gets another shot in 2026 preseason. Seahawks built deep, this draft class locked in their edge. Stay tuned for the rest.
