No doubt most of the lists above will look pretty different 9 months from now. Will be interesting.

That WR list is, questionable at best. Ryan Williams m, outside of 5 games early in his career, is a day 3 pick right now.

I’d put Marsh and Evan Stewart in the top 5 WR list., far above Williams and Craver.

I’m not even going to touch not having Mateo U on the edge list, or Pancho on the OL list.

Thank you for this. I like getting an early heads up. Doesn't matter where they end up being drafted next year, it's really rare for anybody to get those correct this early, but I find these posts give me players to read up on.

The edge class as of right now is looking to be insane. Good thing we will need an edge next year, or two.

There are so many intriguing pass rushers! Lots of DTs that I also like for the Seahawks.

This is my personal positional rankings so far. I'm going off of first glance and who I think pops and stand out.

QB: (I think this might be a heavy 1st round QB class but not deep overall. There are a few that might take the next step though. i.e: CJ Carr, Byrum Brown, LaNorris Sellers)
1. Dante Moore
2. Arch Manning
3. Drew Mestemaker
4. Trinidad Chambliss
5. Darian Mensah

RB: (The top 4 dudes in my opinion are instant starter types. Overall much much deeper than 2026)
1. Kwan Lacy
2. Ahmad Hardy
3. Jadan Baugh
4. L.J Martin
5. Issac Brown

WR: (If you want a X-WR with a big and tall frame, this might be the class. A lot of names but not that deep in my opinion early. Wyatt is super underrated. Fun watch)
1. Jeremiah Smith
2. Cam Coleman
3. Nick Marsh
4. Charlie Becker
5. Wyatt Young

TE: (The inline options are very strong early. Vonnahme has a chance to be special. I don't really buy the hype with Trey'Dez Green yet)
1. Jamari Johnson
2. DJ Vonnahme
3. Benjamin Brahmer
4. Peter Clarke
5. Terrance Carter Jr.

OT: (Prototypes. Tall, long arms, athletic. Lauck is that Iowa linemen. P.J Williams might be the biggest riser. Pretty deep OT class early)
1. Jordan Seaton
2. Trevor Lauck
3. Trevor Goosby
4. P.J Williams
5. Drew Azzopardi

IOL: (Not super excited about this group early. More solid than anything)
1. Kade Pieper
2. Iapani Laloulu
3. Justin Evans
4. Austin Siereveld
5. Cayden Green

EDGE/DE: (You can tell I like this class...Deep with traditional DE, power Edge, speed Edge)
1. Collin Simmons
2. Dylan Stewart
3. Damon Wilson II
4. Quincy Rhodes Jr.
5. Matayo Uiagalelei
6. Anthony Smith
7. John Henry Daley
8. Yhonzae Pierre (Eyeing closely if he develops technique-wise)
9. Teitum Tuioti (I might bank on him to break out)
10. Kenyatta Franklin

DT: (Not digging this interior D-line class early. Ibirogba has a lot of potential as a 3-Tech)
1. Mateen Ibirogba
2. Kemari Copeland
3. David Stone
4. A'Mauri Washington
5. Mario Landino

LB: (Off-ball LB is meh early for me. Biles is a lot of fun to watch)
1. Ben Roberts
2. Sammy Brown
3. Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
4. Rasheem Biles
5. Whit Weeks

CB: (I also really like this class early. All of these guys have a shot at the 1st round in my opinion. Might be the best class in the draft overall)
1. Leonard Moore
2. OJ Frederique
3. Zabian Brown
4. Kelley Jones
5. Evan Johnson
6. Ellis Robinson IV
7. Chris Peal
8. Ashton Hampton
9. Jamari Sharpe

S: (Bolden, Perich, McClain are all really good FS types)
1. KJ Bolden
2. Tae Johnson
3. Koi Perich
4. Jaylen McClain
5. Early Little Jr.

I like Washington. Seattle Person has a good list of DT's as well. But right now my favorite DT is Ole Miss DT Will Echoles. He is 6'3" 310 lbs and could play NT or DE on our 3-4 defense.

​

Looks to be a really good pool of talent at DE. A DE that I like a lot, that as of right now is not considered a 1st round prospect, is Oklahoma DE Taylor Wein. He has a good combination of size (6'4" 272 lbs) and quickness.
