Sports Info Solutions, which admittedly sounds like the name of a fake watered-down company that would exist in some ‘1984’esque film universe about A.I. athletes, has upgraded their grades of the 2022 draft…and guess who’s on top? The Seattle Seahawks have overtaken the New York Jets, despite that green team having three first round picks and four of the top-36.

Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has only ever had that job for one season at a time — 2021 with the Vikings, 2024 with the Saints — and in both cases he wasn’t really doing the shopping. He inherited players (often overpaid players) that he had to make work for him, not choose players who he expected would be perfect fits for a Kubiak offense. Until now in Seattle.

With the 18th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks took North Dakota State offensive lineman Grey Zabel. The most obvious and common move was actually the one that happened!Of course, this was the move that Seaside Joe wrote many times would NOT happen, so chalk up 2025 as a “loss year” for me but hopefully a major WIN for the Seattle Seahawks.

It’s been 28 years since the Seattle Seahawks traded up in the first round of the NFL Draft, but if the league lets the best football player in the class on this side of Travis Hunter slide out of the top-5, and it’s someone already dominating in a Mike Macdonald defense, then the stars have aligned for the franchise to make history on Thursday by making the biggest move of 2025.

What if I told you that the player who was going to defy decades of draft history at his position, both locally and league wide, and who would force the Seahawks GM to re-write his own quotes about guards being “overdrafted”, was in fact a second round pick who the media has convinced you is not only a worthy pick for Seattle at 18…he’s the only pick. That would take a generational talent at center or guard.
