After finishing just outside of the playoff spots in 2024, the Seattle Seahawks need to find some balance on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball ahead of next season, so the 2025 offseason is crucial.
Poor offensive line play, a significant long-term problem, caused the team's offense to reach an extremely low ceiling last season. They must prioritize addressing that group, or at the very least, improving it from one of the poorest in the league, especially with free agency and the NFL draft approaching.
For the Seahawks to continue their upward trend under head coach Mike Macdonald, it will be essential to determine and address their most important needs through the 2025 NFL Draft. A plan of action that prioritizes both immediate results and long-term stability will be crucial for the team's general manager, John Schneider, and his recruiting unit.

Having said that, let's find out how much capital Seattle has in the upcoming draft and the positions at which the team is scheduled to select players.
