What time will the Seahawks pick in the NFL Draft?
Thursday's first round is expected to get underway at 5 p.m. PT. The Seahawks have pick No. 18 in the first round, meaning they won't be on the clock until the coverage is well underway. The Seahawks' pick would come around 7:16 p.m. PT on Thursday, Yahoo! Sports estimates based on the timing of the 2024 draft.

Who are the Seahawks expected to take in the NFL Draft?
Opinions vary in current mock drafts, likely due to the Seahawks being in the bottom half of the first round, where there can be much more variance than among the top picks. The team has some clear needs, as the offensive line needs help after a disappointing 2024, and the team's two highest-paid wide receivers are no longer on the roster.
On the offensive line front, several prospects have regularly been connected to the Seahawks. Kelvin Banks Jr. from the University of Texas and Armand Membou from the University of Missouri are both tackles who played against elite competition throughout their college careers. Each has been linked to the Seahawks at No. 18, but many experts also project both to be selected before the Seahawks are on the clock. A late riser up the draft charts has been Grey Zabel from North Dakota State University. Having played four of the five offensive line positions in college, Zabel might be an easier player to move around as the Seahawks need more help on the interior of the offensive line than at the tackle spots.
Metcalf and Tyler Lockett's departures at wide receiver leave a lot of production from last season up for grabs in 2025. One local product to look out for in the first or second round is Emeka Egbuka, who won a national championship at Ohio State University but played his high school football in Steilacoom. Another wideout to keep an eye on includes the University of Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, who began his college career for University of Washington coach Jedd Fisch.
Defensive back is another position the Seahawks could focus on in Round 1. Texas's Jahdae Barron and the University of Georgia's Malaki Starks have been projected as potential Seahawks selections in the first round.
What moves have the Seahawks already made this offseason?
Metcalf's trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Smith's trade to the Las Vegas Raiders are the two most notable moves since the 2024 season ended. The Seahawks replaced Smith with Sam Darnold, whose career got off to a slow start after being a top pick, but was among the league's top-performing quarterbacks in the 2024 regular season.
Cooper Kupp, who grew up in Yakima and attended Eastern Washington University, signed with the Seahawks after a decorated career with the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Drew Lock is also back in the quarterback room after a season with the New York Giants, leaving Sam Howell's future in question.
On defense, DeMarcus Lawrence comes to Seattle after over a decade with the Dallas Cowboys that included four Pro Bowl appearances.
