The Seattle Seahawks had opportunities to trade down, but they stayed firm at pick No. 18 in the NFL Draft 2025, selecting Grey Zabel, a powerful offensive guard out of North Dakota State. It’s the highest a guard has been taken by the franchise since Steve Hutchinson in 2001, a sign of serious investment in trench dominance.
With this pick, Seattle’s offensive line gains a tough, smart mauler who will likely start Day 1. The pick also serves as a long-overdue response to years of fan demands for protection up front.
