Expectations are high for first-round pick Grey Zabel, who is going to be wearing Steve Hutchinson's legendary No. 76 jersey. The Seahawks identified Zabel as an ideal fit for Klint Kubiak's zone-based offense. He'll be the starter at left guard, and it's worth monitoring his start at rookie minicamp.

It wasn't just their early picks that earned praise either. The Seahawks did good work on Day 3 as well, with one player being named a potential "impact rookie" by SI.com's Daniel Flick. Flick identified players in Rounds 4-7 who could wind up being contributors from the start.

The Seahawks are armed with 10 picks in the 2025 NFL draft after all their wheeling-and-dealing this offseason. Of those, six fall into the first four rounds, giving Seattle a chance to continue reshaping their roster. They acquired Picks 52 and 223 from Pittsburgh in exchange for Metcalf, while Pick 92 came from the Raiders in the Smith deal.
