The Seattle Seahawks have made another big move just two weeks out from the trade deadline. On Wednesday, Seattle agreed to a deal that will send linebacker Jerome Baker and a 2025 fourth-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for fellow inside linebacker and former Los Angeles Rams starter Ernest Jones IV.
While the 2025 NFL Draft is still six months away, it’s very much worth taking stock of what the Seahawks have right now. Technically speaking, Seattle only has five picks next year, but (barring any other trades) are tentatively slated for seven draft selections.
Round 1: 1 pick (native)
Round 2: 1 pick (native)
Round 3: 1 pick (native)
Round 4: Projected 1 picks (comp for Damien Lewis)
Round 5: Projected 1 pick (comp for Jordyn Brooks)
Round 6: 1 pick (via Chicago Bears for Darrell Taylor trade)
Round 7: 1 pick (native)
Total: 7 picks (2 projected)
Obviously the fourth-round pick just got traded to the Titans, so there’s one native pick gone. Then you have the fifth-rounder going to the New York Giants from last year’s trade for Leonard Williams. Seattle gave up a sixth-rounder to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Trevis Gipson back in August. That sixth-rounder was given up right after Seattle acquired a sixth from the Chicago Bears for Darrell Taylor.
Generally, the NFL announces compensatory picks in March, the month before the draft. The Damien Lewis and Jordyn Brooks free agent deals, combined with the Seahawks losing more CFAs (compensatory free agents) than they gained, means we’ll finally see Seattle get some comp picks for the first time since 2020.
What’s probably a little unexpected is that the comp picks are effectively replacing native picks traded away by John Schneider, as opposed to bonuses to give Seattle a lot of draft capital moving forward.
