Edge rusher is a premium NFL position, and the Seattle Seahawks will likely need depth there after this offseason. If Dre'Mont Jones, Uchenna Nwosu or both are cap casualties heading into 2025, the Seahawks may look to the draft.
This draft class has plenty of edge rusher talent, and Seattle may opt to use their No. 18 overall pick on a pass-rusher. If they go that route, Pro Football and Sports Network's latest mock draft has the Seahawks selecting Shemar Stewart out of Texas A&M in the first round.
"It’s time for Mike Macdonald to start to shape this Seahawks defense in his image," PFSN wrote. "By drafting Shemar Stewart, he can add one of the most freakishly athletic pass rushers in the class to his front seven. Stewart lacked sack production in college, but with the right defensive mind like Macdonald, his potential can be unlocked."
Macdonald has already been building a reputation for maximizing the potential of Seattle's young players.
