The Seattle Seahawks currently own the No. 18 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. General manager John Schneider could take that pick in several directions. Most agree the Seahawks’ biggest roster needs occur within the interior of their offensive line.
Left guard Laken Tomlinson played on an expiring contract while failing to provide Geno Smith with adequate protection. Sophomore center Olu Oluwatimi was thrust into action following Connor Williams’ abrupt midseason retirement. The right guard spot was also a season-long weakness, with three different blockers (Anthony Bradford, Christian Haynes, Sataoa Laumea) earning reps.
The Draft Network recently released their latest first-round mock draft. Unsurprisingly, the Seahawks address the guard position, selecting University of Alabama blocker, Tyler Booker.
“The Seattle Seahawks need to drastically improve their run game,” Keith Sanchez wrote.”Over the past couple of years, they’ve spent a significant amount of draft capital on running backs, and it’s time to see a return on that investment. With this pick, the Seahawks draft interior offensive lineman Tyler Booker, a physical player who can flat-out move people in the run game—exactly what the Seahawks need.”
Booker is a mammoth phone-booth blocker. His power and first-step explosiveness would help create rushing lanes for Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet. Booker would be a quality addition to a struggling Seahawks offensive line.
