The Seattle Seahawks parted ways with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett at wide receiver earlier this offseason. General manager John Schneider signed veteran wideout Cooper Kupp to pair with Jaxon Smith-Njigba in response. The Seahawks are now entering the 2025 NFL draft searching for additional help at receiver.
The Draft Network recently released their latest first-round mock draft. While most projections have the Seahawks drafting an offensive lineman, TDN took a different approach. Keith Sanchez has the Seahawks selecting University of Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden at No. 18 overall.
"Like their divisional rival, the 49ers, the Seahawks have had an active offseason, offloading players who have been key pieces to their offensive identity," Sanchez wrote. "However, the Seahawks need to replace those playmakers if they want a shot at seeing Sam Darnold resemble the version of himself he was in Minnesota. The addition of Matthew Golden is much needed, and Golden has the opportunity to immediately become a key player for the Seahawks and be the WR1 in Seattle."
Golden ran the fastest 40-yard dash of any wideout at this year's NFL Combine with a blazing-fast 4.29-second result, establishing himself as a top 20 pick in April's festivities. Golden would add a layer of playmaking speed to Klint Kubiak's offense.
