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.

An unnamed NFL executive heaped praise on the Seattle Seahawks for grabbing three players he considered three of the better prospects in the entire 2025 NFL draft.
