Just two weeks after the trade deadline, the Seattle Seahawks have made another big move. On Wednesday, Seattle agreed to a deal that sends linebacker Jerome Baker and a 2025 fourth-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for fellow inside linebacker and former Los Angeles Rams starter Ernest Jones IV.

While the 2025 NFL Draft is still six months away, it’s very worthwhile to take stock of what the Seahawks have right now. Technically, Seattle only has five picks next year, but (not counting other trades) seven draft selections are tentatively scheduled.

Seahawks’ current 2025 draft pick haul

Round 1: 1 choice (native)

Round 2: 1 choice (native)

Round 3: 1 choice (native)

Round 4: Projected 1 picks (comp for Damien Lewis)

Round 5: Projected 1 pick (comp for Jordyn Brooks)

Round 6: 1 choice (via Chicago bears for Darrell Taylor trade)

Round 7: 1 choice (native)

Total: 7 picks (2 projected)

What happened to all the indigenous choices?

Obviously, the fourth-round pick was just traded to the Titans, so one native pick is gone. Then you have the fifth-rounder heading to the New York Giants from last year’s trade for Leonard Williams. Seattle gave up a sixth-rounder to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Trevis Gipson in August. That sixth-rounder was given up shortly after Seattle acquired a sixth from the Chicago Bears for Darrell Taylor.

When are comp choices awarded?

Generally, the NFL announces compensatory picks in March, the month before the draft. Damien Lewis and Jordyn Brooks’ free agent deals, combined with the fact that the Seahawks are losing more CFAs (compensatory free agents) than they’ve gained, means we’ll finally see Seattle get some comp picks for the first time since 2020 .

What’s probably a bit unexpected is that the comp picks effectively replace the native picks traded away by John Schneider, as opposed to bonuses to give Seattle plenty of draft capital going forward.
