Official 2025 Draft Talk Thread

mean agreed, but I don't think you need to go THAT overboard on OL.

I don't feel it's going overboard myself. As I said the Seahawks need better results than they got from the players at LG, C and RG. That wasn't NFL starting play at those positions last season and the line is only as strong as the weakest link.

End of day I'd be happier with Booker and Egbuka

I won't hate having those players, matter of preference I guess. Booker just seems more of a gap blocker, Zabel excels at either and he's a better athlete which is why he grades out so well in zone blocking. Egbuka is more of what the Seahawks already have while Higgins is a classic X wide receiver, which is what is missing on the roster.

End of the day I want to see a serious commitment to upgrading the OL. Doesn't have to be Zabel (he's just my favorite), it could be Booker could be someone else. What I don't want to see is JS waiting until pick 50 or even later (Lord knows JS hasn't come close to taking IOL that early and the play and results show it) and settling for backup or developmental type and maybe take two of those at some point so he can claim he's addressed the problem, will really get me ticked off. It's doing the same shit and expecting different results, that's plum stupid.

Please let them move up for Sanders... I'm going to be beyond annoying if they want Membou. Warren isn't worth 6th overall IMO.

They might want a LT or mason graham

I just have this feeling if we take Zabel (great athleticism, good ZBS fit granted, but he's a bit more finesse) he'll get pushed around at times and we'll struggle to just move a DL. Meanwhile watch someone like the Ravens take Booker and just mow down DLs.

What?

He isn't a mauler but would never call him a finesse player.

For sure. He's plenty physical, plenty violent, but can do agile stuff and do it well. I'd love to see him anchor the interior of the line. He's going to be a quality OL player for some team, I'd be excited if that team is the Seahawks.

Erm, that was a terrible choice of words. I should've used versatile and followed that up with the fact that I don't think he'll be dominant at any one position. And I'd rather just have a dominant left guard.

Again guys, I'm perfectly fine with the pick... I just wont be ecstatic about it. I think there will be far better talent at 18...
