The Seattle Seahawks missed out on the playoffs once again in 2024 despite posting a 10-7 record, though they might have made the postseason had they been able to provide better protection for Geno Smith.

The Seattle Seahawks will own the No. 18 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. As the only 10-win franchise to miss the postseason, it’s the lowest first-round selection among the non-playoff clubs. General manager John Schneider may address a multitude of issues, but none are more glaring than the underwhelming offensive line.

Heading into 2025, the Seattle Seahawks should be looking to turn the page on the past. Specifically, that means cutting ties with a few long-time players like Tyler Lockett and possibly DK Metcalf. It also means planning for the future at quarterback, if not out-right moving on from Geno Smith before the new league year begins.
