A seven-round Seahawks mock draft: Post-Senior Bowl and Shrine Bowl edition

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!

Seattle Seahawks mock draft picks

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;

R1.18- Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M

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.

R2.50- Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue

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.

R3.82- Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo

One of the big winners of the Senior Bowl. There were some doubts about his size/arm length. And Alexander dismissed them all, at 34”. He has a lot of the style of a Seattle player (especially since he will turn 25 in August). I don’t know what the team will do with Jarran Reed and Roy Robertson-Harris, so I reinforced the DL again.

He is very quick off the snap and this allows him to wreak havoc in the backfield. He is capable of defending his gap and has an excellent bull rush as his main pass rush move.

R4.136- Ricky White III, WR, UNLV

One of my favorite prospects. He is an option for Z receiver who can replace Tyler Lockett, if he is cut. A dynamic receiver who has good production after the catch and a well-defined and executed route tree. He also has a differential, he is a weapon on special teams, with several blocked punts.

R5.172- Max Brosmer, QB, Minnesota

In this Mock Draft, names like Quinn Ewers and Jaxson Dart, who are my favorite options for the Seahawks, left much earlier than I believe they should have. I have two late-round options, Seth Hennigan from Memphis and Max Brosmer from Minnesota.

Brosmer is a player who transferred from New Hampshire and since then his stock has only increased. In Minnesota, he had a lot of experience under center, which is a plus for the position and works well under pressure. He was one of the standouts of the Shrine Bowl week, despite not having a great game.

R6.186- Tahj Brooks, RB, Texas Tech

Ken Walker is entering the final year of his contract and has had several injury issues. This is a very good class of RBs, so even in the sixth round, it is possible to get a player who can contribute. Very good vision and patience running the ball. Good stopping and re-running ability and has great leg strength, making it a challenge to be tackled by tall tackles.

R6.211- Zah Frazier, CB, UTSA

Seattle had success with the last CB they drafted out of UTSA. He is not the same athletic monster that Riq Woolen is. Still, he is a tall CB who thrives on the press and is a better tackler than Woolen (it would be hard to be much worse). Lots of potential and we need to replenish the cornerback roster after Tre Brown’s likely departure.

R7.235- Jack Kiser, LB, Notre Dame

LB is a position the team needs to strengthen. Even if John Schneider does the obvious and re-signs Ernest Jones, there isn’t much talent to cover him and Tyrice Knight. Kiser is an instinctive player who was a QB in high school, with good game processing, and leadership skills as a captain at Notre Dame last year. On the downside, he would be another player who will be 25 years old in his rookie season.

Conclusion

In this mock, I projected that the Seahawks would invest in the OL during free agency with a big name, such as Trey Smith. Otherwise, pick 18 could be used on a prospect at the position, such as Tyler Booker, for example.

I believe Seattle would still need to address the TE position (a very good class) and the safety role, since Rayshawn Jenkins could (should) be cut. However, I couldn’t find any prospects that made sense in our picks. Perhaps, in a future mock trade, we can address the positions.

Forever a 12!
