The Seahawks will be busy on the final day of the NFL Draft, with five picks on deck.

Two days down, one day to go in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Seattle Seahawks have only made two picks through three rounds, but they addressed the trenches on either side of the ball by taking Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II and UConn right guard Christian Haynes. Seattle will enter Saturday with five picks over Rounds 4-7, including a pair in the 4th and a pair in the 6th.

There are still plenty of talented prospect who’ve yet to have their name called. Taking a look at the Consensus Big Board, South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler is the most prominent offensive player still out there. He had a pre-draft visit with Seattle earlier this month, as did Penn State tight end Theo Johnson.

On defense, Jeremiah Trotter Jr and Cedric Gray are a pair of linebackers available for selection. Tall, lanky corner Khyree Jackson of Oregon could be some secondary depth. Speaking of Pacific Northwest stars, Washington State safety Jaden Hicks is going to be an option on Day 3. The Seahawks have the 2nd pick of Round 4, so they’ll have a lot of choices.

Here’s a look at the BPAs based on the Consensus Big Board top-100.
