23. Seattle Seahawks - Jonah Savaiinaea, OT, Arizona
The Seattle Seahawks saw former starting center Connor Williams retire in the middle of the season. The team does need some OL help all across the board. Seattle also needs a franchise QB, as I am not sure what this franchise thinks they are winning with Geno Smith.
With them currently picking in the 20s, they won’t be in range for a top QB unless they want to make a huge move up the draft board in the first round. This coming NFL Draft is also not going to be very good at the QB position, so there’s that as well.
Seattle will take OL Jonah Savaiinaea at pick 23 in this NFL mock draft. He’s a tackle in college but is probably going to kick inside to guard at the next level. To me, OL is almost a slam-dunk pick for the Seahawks in the first round at this point. They could continue to lay this groundwork for a rookie QB to be inserted into the equation in 2026 or even 2027, depending on how long they want to keep Geno Smith around.
24. Baltimore Ravens - Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
At pick 24 in this NFL mock draft, the Baltimore Ravens take Isaiah Bond, a WR from Texas. The Ravens have had some WR inconsistencies for years now, and they swung a trade for former Panther and Steeler WR Diontae Johnson. That has not paid off for them at all, so it’s likely that Johnson is not a part of their team going forward into 2025.
The Ravens have never really needed a top-tier WR to run the offense they want, which is centered around Lamar Jackson, but some have argued that they do need more talent at WR to make Jackson’s life easier on offense. That’s kind of my reasoning for mocking Bond to them here at pick 24.
I could be wrong, though. The Ravens could boost the secondary or even their offensive line as well in round one.
