James is the clear choice for the bottom the list. The sixth-round cornerback out of Auburn was the only draft pick who did not make 53-man roster and was released at the end of the preseason. He was signed to the New England Patriots’ practice squad Sept. 16 and did not appear in a game this season.

The Seahawks take their Geno Smith replacement in Round 1 by drafting Alabama QB Jalen Milroe in a Fox Sports 2025 NFL mock draft.

Smith is also past his physical prime, so it will be prudent to at least search for a potential replacement some day down the line.

The Seattle Seahawks own the No. 18 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. General manager John Schneider possesses several pathways with that pick. Schneider could draft an offensive player, particularly a linemen, trade down, or select another defensive contributor.

Of the notable former Los Angeles Chargers news making the rounds right now, the Seattle Seahawks might’ve made some of the most interesting buzz. There, the Seahawks signed safety JT Woods to a reserve/future contract.

That said, it's not difficult for even the most casual of NFL fans to point out what the team's greatest roster need is going into the 2025 offseason.
