Here we go again! It’s that time of year once more!
As the NFL Draft rapidly approaches, many changes have occurred for the team.
Seattle Seahawks
The trades involving Geno Smith and DK Metcalf have boosted Seattle’s draft capital significantly, giving them an impressive total of five picks within the first 100 selections.
including a set of picks from the second and third rounds
Is this the year the Seahawks will once again select a quarterback? Could Schneider decide to trade back in the first round for the first time since 2019? Or might we witness an unforeseen move upwards? The developments should prove intriguing as they unfold from April 24-26 in Green Bay.
In the past, we used to refer to this as a “top 30 visit,” but it has since been widely accepted to avoid using this term because it can be deceptive. A so-called “official 30 visit” merely indicates that each team is allowed up to 30 structured face-to-face sessions with out-of-town collegiate athletes who aren’t local. These athletes come to the team facilities for discussions and a medical examination. However, an official 30 visit does not imply these are the best 30 talents in the game or even among the top 30 recruits for a particular team.
*- A local prospect is defined by the NFL as someone who attends college or is from a “local metropolitan area as defined by a current
Rand McNally map
.”
Just a reminder, missing out on pre-draft visits indicates that the Seahawks won’t be selecting all of these players, and realistically might not secure even one of them. Nonetheless, having 30 visits (along with official NFL Scouting Combine visits) suggests that we’ll likely see at least some player from this list being selected during the draft or signing up later as an undrafted free agent. In the last three years, here’s who among the Seahawks were picked via the draft or signed as UDFAs after receiving such visits: Boye Mafe, Dareke Young, Joshua Onujiogu (as UDFA), Devon Witherspoon, Anthony Bradford, Jerrick Reed II, Tyrice Knight, Michael Jerrell, and George Holani (also as UDFA). Additionally, John Rhys Plumlee joined their practice squad midway through the season in 2024; however, he had participated in pre-draft visits too.
Here’s the log for every officially recorded visit from the 30 Seahawks. We’ll be updating this list with additional names in the coming weeks.
