2025 NFL mock draft: Full three-round mock draft predictions

11. Seattle Seahawks: Harold Perkins, LB, LSU

If they’re picking this high next year, I’m guessing there will have been something that went wrong for the Seattle Seahawks at the quarterback position. Obviously, Geno Smith and Sam Howell aren’t inspiring a ton of long-term confidence for this franchise, especially now that there’s a brand-new coaching staff in the mix. I wouldn’t say Pete Carroll left the cupboard bare in Seattle, by any means, but this is a team that could be resetting next year.

One of the positions we know is essential for new head coach Mike Macdonald is the linebacker position, and Harold Perkins out of LSU has been one of our most popular Seahawks 2025 mock draft picks. Perkins can play off the ball, he can play off the edge, and he’s an elite all-around athlete.

12. Indianapolis Colts: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

Everyone is eager to see the Indianapolis Colts this coming season and whether or not we will get a fully healthy Anthony Richardson at the quarterback position. The Colts have been emphasizing Relative Athletic Score in every draft class over the last handful of years and as a result, this roster is full of absolute aliens when it comes to size, speed, and athletic traits.

After winning nine games last year, the Colts are proving they have the right combination of coaching and talent, and the ceiling is high if Richardson is healthy. The offense has been a major area of focus in recent years, however, and there are a number of players who could soon be replaced on the back end of the defense. Here, the Colts land one of Georgia’s best defensive players in Malaki Starks who has 14 passes defensed and five interceptions over the last two years.
