The final day of the 2025 NFL Draft is underway, and whether or not fans like the selections, the Seattle Seahawks have not been timid in addressing the needs of the roster.

The needs addressed over the first two days include the interior of the offensive line, as well as a playmaking safety and move tight end, as well as adding a dynamic rushing threat at quarterback.

• Round 7, pick 7 (223 overall): RB Damien Martinez, Miami
• Round 7, pick 18 (234 overall):
• Round 7, pick 22 (238 overall):

And with pick 234 Seattle has selected Iowa offensive tackle Mason Richman.

Richman was a left tackle in college but is another one, much like Bryce Cabeldue, who projects as a guard in the NFL. With five years in Iowa’s OL, he has a lot of experience under his belt.

Here’s the Dane Brugler write-up from his annual “The Beast” draft guide:

Mason Richman grew up outside of Kansas City, Kan., with his parents (John and Kathryn Richman Wallace). His younger brother (Maguire) signed with Kansas State in the 2025 recruiting class at linebacker. Mason Richman moved up to varsity as a sophomore defensive lineman at Blue Valley High and earned all-state honors as a senior, playing both ways as a defensive end and tight end. A three-star recruit, Richman was a 250-pound offensive tackle projection and committed to Iowa over Kansas (he added 60 pounds during his first two years in the program). He earned the starting left tackle job in 2021 and ripped off 52 starts the last four seasons (most by an offensive lineman in the Kirk Ferentz era).

Richman positions himself well to sustain in pass pro and shows good lateral quickness off the snap to reach, seal or cut off speed, although he overshoots his landmarks at times. Though he needs to show better control in space, he gets low in the run game and washes on down blocks. Overall, Richman graded as an NFL camp body last summer, but he worked himself into the conversation as a draftable prospect with his play in 2024 and offers valuable experience for the next level.
