The Seattle Seahawks significantly enhanced their roster during the NFL Draft by trading up to select safety Nick Emmanwori from South Carolina with the 35th overall pick. Emmanwori, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound standout, led his team with 78 tackles as a true freshman and earned First-Team All-SEC honors in 2024. Following this, the Seahawks selected tight end Elijah Arroyo from Miami at pick 50, a player recognized for his reliable hands and potential as a red-zone target. At pick 92, they added quarterback Jalen Milroe from Alabama, who amassed 2,844 passing yards and 726 rushing yards in the 2024 season. These selections underscore the Seahawks' commitment to building a competitive roster on both offense and defense.
