The Seattle Seahawks made some major changes to their roster this offseason, including moving on from two-star receivers in DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
They also added Cooper Kupp to help replace those players, and signed a new starting quarterback in Sam Darnold to replace Geno Smith.
Still, the Seahawks have plenty of needs they can fill in Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft, with a variety of different players who can fit their new-look roster.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at three players who could be a fit later this month with the No. 18 overall pick.

Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
The Seahawks added Kupp in the offseason, but he is going to be a short-term answer, and the Seahawks need a future No. 2 to pair with Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Luther Burden is a physical freak as they come, which is precisely what they need.
Over the last two seasons, Burdern did it all, catching nearly 150 passes for more than 1,800 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also rushed for two more scores.
His production did dip from his sophomore to his junior season, but he can do it all and would be a star in Seattle.
Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas
Receiver is always a fun pick, and gets fans excited, especially when it is a need.
That said, in terms of fits, the offensive line comes first and foremost for the Seahawks, and tackle Kelvin Banks out of Texas could solve their problems in a variety of ways.
Banks could come in and play tackle on either side, as well as kick into the interior for the first season if they decided they need more help there.
He is one of the best offensive linemen in the class and could be available at No. 18. He has also been mocked to Seattle multiple times in recent days, which is usually a good sign of a player’s projection.
Tyler Booker, IOL, Alabama
While a tackle would be nice this season, the Seahawks biggest need is most definitely in the interior, where they need help at guard – and perhaps even in multiple spots.
At No. 18, Alabama’s Tyler Booker makes a ton of sense, with his experience and track record with the Crimson Tide.
He has elite physical traits, and is arguably the best run blocker at his position in the class, which is an area Seattle desperately needs to improve.
