Here we go again!
With the NFL Draft fast approaching, a whole lot has changed for the Seattle Seahawks The trades involving Geno Smith and DK Metcalf have boosted Seattle's draft capital significantly, giving them an impressive five selections within the first 100 picks. including a set of picks from the second and third rounds Is this the year the Seahawks will once again select a quarterback in the draft? Could Schneider opt to trade back in the first round for the first time since 2019? Or might they surprise everyone with a trade up instead? The developments should make for intriguing viewing during the event from April 24-26 in Green Bay.
In the past, we used to refer to this as a "top 30 visit," but it has become widely accepted to discontinue use of this confusing term. An official 30 visit merely indicates that each team can have up to 30 structured face-to-face sessions with out-of-town collegiate athletes who aren't local. These athletes come to the team facilities for discussions and medical exams. However, an official 30 visit does not imply these are the best 30 talents in the game or even among the top 30 priorities for a particular team.
*- A local prospect is defined by the NFL as someone who attends college or is from a “local metropolitan area as defined by a current Rand McNally map .”
Just a reminder, missing out on pre-draft visits indicates that the Seahawks won’t be selecting all of these players; moreover, they’re unlikely to secure their services. Nonetheless, having over 30 visits (including those from the official NFL Scouting Combine) suggests that at least one player among this group could end up being selected during the draft or signed later as an undrafted free agent. In the last three years, several Seahawks were picked in the draft or joined the team as undrafted free agents after receiving such visits: Boye Mafe, Dareke Young, Joshua Onujiogu (as UDFA), Devon Witherspoon, Anthony Bradford, Jerrick Reed II, Tyrice Knight, Michael Jerrell, and George Holani (also UDFA). Additionally, John Rhys Plumlee joined the practice squad midway through the season in 2024, though he had previously participated in a pre-draft visit.
Here is the list tracking all officially recorded or announced visits of 30 Seahawks players. We'll add more names as we receive updates over the coming weeks.
