The Seattle Seahawks may have had offers to trade down, but the final decision on Day 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft was to stick and pick at No. 18. Any worries that Seattle wouldn’t address the offensive line were erased when John Schneider selected North Dakota State’s Grey Zabel. He’s listed as a guard by the Seahawks, so he’s the highest-drafted guard for Seattle since a fella named Steve Hutchinson back in 2001.
