The Seattle Seahawks are entering the 2025 NFL draft with the No. 18 overall selection. ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid recently released an updated big board, ranking his top 50 prospects in order. It's always interesting to analyze which prospect aligns with the Seahawks' pick.
Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart is Reid's No. 18th ranked prospect.
"Stewart had only 4.5 sacks in three seasons, but his time to first pressure this past season (2.43 seconds) was No. 1 in the FBS," Reid wrote. "He is a toolsy prospect who has rushed off the edge and inside and could be a better pro than college player. Stewart's tools popped plenty at the Senior Bowl, as his power and explosiveness were too much for blockers. That continued at the combine, as he ran a 4.59-second 40-yard dash and jumped 40 inches in the vertical leap, backing up the quickness seen on his tape. He'll need to go to a patient team that can develop his finishing production, but Stewart's traits and hand maturity will get him on the field early."
The Seahawks love drafting athletic defensive linemen, but Stewart would be a luxury pick. Schneider recently agreed to terms with DeMarcus Lawrence to play alongside Boye Mafe and Derick Hall. Stewart may intrigue the Seahawks.
