In Seattle, Emmanwori joins a promising young secondary that already includes cornerbacks Tariq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon and safeties Julian Love and Coby Bryant. Legion Of Boom II, anyone?
The Seahawks moved up 17 spots, trading the No. 52 overall pick (along with No. 82), to select the rare athlete. With its Day 2 draft capital — Seattle also owned Nos. 50 and 92 — it made sense for the Seahawks to take a swing on a player who was unlikely to be on the board when they were orginally expected to make their first second-round pick.
Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (No. 38 overall)
The Patriots continued to build around second-year quarterback Drake Maye by adding the explosive former Ohio State running back.
Henderson had 144 carries, 1,016 rushing yards (7.1 yards per attempt) and 10 rushing touchdowns in 2024. He’s also an asset in the passing game, gaining 284 receiving yards on 27 receptions a season ago. The four-year senior should be a seamless fit in the Patriots’ running game as a perfect complement to starter Rhamondre Stevenson.
Cardinals cornerback Will Johnson (No. 47 overall)
Injury concerns aside, the Cardinals got one of the best defensive players in the 2025 class. Johnson was limited to six games due to a turf toe injury but had two interceptions and two pass breakups when healthy. (h/t Pro Football Focus)
In three seasons, the former Michigan defensive back allowed 52 receptions on 92 targets for 689 yards, one touchdown, six interceptions and six pass breakups, with quarterbacks posting an unseemly 56.8 passer rating.
Raiders wide receiver Jack Bech (No. 58 overall)
Bech’s story is one of the most emotional of the 2025 NFL Draft. His older brother, Tiger Bech, was killed in the New Year’s Eve terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
The standout wide receiver had 62 receptions, 1,034 receiving yards and nine receiving touchdowns as a senior at TCU in 2024. Bech is a perfect fit for the Raiders, who are building their culture under newly hired head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek.
With quarterback Geno Smith, running back Ashton Jeanty and tight end Brock Bowers, Las Vegas has the makings of an explosive offense. Bech could carve out a valuable role on the outside in short order.
Chiefs defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (No. 63 overall)
Per PFF, Norman-Lott ranked first in pass-rush win rate (18.9 percent) among defensive tackles in college football last season.
