Field Gulls
It’s mock draft time! How big a need is edge rusher for the Seahawks?
Welcome to our first Field Gulls Seattle Seahawks mock draft of the 2025 offseason. A lot will change between now and April, so I still plan to do a few more mocks: One after the NFL Scouting Combine, another after free agency, and a final one in April. In this first one I won’t be making trades, the main focus will be to present some prospects.
Note: I used the PFF Simulator, so it was based on the Board created by them.
Let’s go!
So far, compensatory picks still “don’t exist.” So, we’re projecting according to OverTheCap until the comp picks are awarded in March.
1st round (18);
2nd round (50);
3rd round (82);
4th round (sent in the trade for Ernest Jones IV);
4th round – compensatory pick projected due to the departure of Damien Lewis (136);
5th round (sent in the trade for Leonard Williams);
5th round – projected compensatory pick for Jordyn Brooks’ departure (172);
6th round (sent in Trevis Gipson trade);
6th round (received in Darrell Taylor trade) - [186];
6th round – projected compensatory pick for Bobby Wagner’s departure (211);
7th round (235);
R1.18- Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M;
R2.50- Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue;
R3.82- Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo;
R4.136- Ricky White III, WR, UNLV;
R5.172- Max Brosmer, QB, Minnesota;
R6.186- Tahj Brooks, RB, Texas Tech;
R6.211 - Zah Frazier, CB, UTSA;
R7.235- Jack Kiser, LB, Notre Dame;
I believe that pick 18 is a bit high for Stewart. He is an extremely athletic and strong player. However, he is a very low-floor pass rusher who primarily uses the bull rush, but has a very high ceiling. I believe that Mike Macdonald has more than enough capacity to refine him and make him stop missing so many plays behind the line of scrimmage.
He is a better run defender than Dre’Mont Jones, but a lower-floor pass rusher. Jones is a very likely cut this offseason. Stewart would be a cheaper option with more upside.
I probably have Mbow higher than some boards. I picked him here because I believe he would not be available at 82 (our next pick). I project Mbow as a center, which is where I think he will have the best success in the NFL. He has the measurements for OT, which is where he played in college. However, he has problems against power moves, and as a center he would be more protected against that and could maximize his athletic ability.
Mbow is very quick off the snap, getting to the second level and neutralizing LBs. Good angles and body control. His handwork is also very good and he uses non-traditional pass sets to beat his opponents, a complex technique rarely found in college.
