Seahawks remain stagnant in latest ESPN power rankings update

The Seattle Seahawks made a league-high 11 selections in the 2025 NFL draft. General manager John Schneider believes he improved his roster throughout the three-day showcase, landing starters and depth players alike. Despite that, ESPN doesn't necessarily think the Seahawks improved… at all.

ESPN recently released an updated power rankings list after reshuffling the deck following the draft. The Seahawks remained at No. 16, their exact positioning prior to the draft.

ESPN Seahawks reporter Brady Henderson chose the quarterbacks as the most improved position on Schneider's roster.

"This is about the entire QB room because it remains to be seen whether Sam Darnold will be better than Geno Smith," Henderson wrote. "But there's no question Seattle has improved the position as a whole. Drew Lock is an upgrade over Sam Howell at QB2. Third-round pick Jalen Milroe, who replaces Jaren Hall as the No. 3, gives the Seahawks an explosive playmaker. He can immediately make an impact in specialty run packages while he develops as a passer."

The Seahawks are arguably the biggest unknown in the NFL entering the 2025 season. Sweeping changes at quarterback and to the offense in general make them a difficult team to project. Hopefully the Seahawks outperform their No. 16 rank in ESPN's latest power rankings update.
