The Seattle Seahawks own seven picks in the 2024 NFL draft, beginning with No. 16 overall in Round 1.
The Seahawks addressed defensive needs in free agency and secured a young backup quarterback in Sam Howell. However, they still have a glaring need at offensive guard -- which they can address with a veteran free agent signing or in the early rounds of the draft.
The 2024 NFL draft will take place at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit from April 25 through April 27. Round 1 will begin April 25 at 8 p.m. ET, while Rounds 2 and 3 are on April 26 starting at 7 p.m. ET. Rounds 4 through 7 begin at noon ET on April 27. The draft will be broadcast on ESPN, ABC, ESPN+ and the ESPN App. There are 257 total picks in the draft.
Here's the full list of the Seahawks' draft picks by round, along with a look at their top roster needs heading into the 2024 season.

The Seahawks will likely sign a veteran guard soon, but that still leaves an opening at the other starting spot. Given how often general manager John Schneider talks about the lack of quality offensive linemen in the NFL, picking in the middle of the first round might offer one of his best chances to find one.
Seattle signed Jerome Baker and Tyrel Dodson to replace Jordyn Brooks and Bobby Wagner at inside linebacker, but both got one-year deals, and there's not much experienced depth behind them. At tight end, Noah Fant (two years) and veteran Pharaoh Brown (one) are on short-term deals, so the Seahawks could use a rookie with four years of club control to fill the No. 2 or 3 role. -- Brady Henderson
