The Seattle Seahawks’ 2024 campaign concluded with a 30-25 Week 18 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. The 10-win Seahawks missed the playoffs, meaning they’ve learned their fate in the 2025 NFL Draft. General manager John Schneider will officially possess the No. 18 overall selection.

If the Seahawks decide to seek better value at the position, it opens the door to several potential roster shifts.
