Seahawks select guard Grey Zabel at pick No. 18 overall
ESPN's Matt Miller went as far as to suggest Seattle's decision in the first round came down to either Grey Zabel or Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan. With McMillan going No. 8 overall to the Carolina Panthers, it left only Zabel for the Seahawks. Given how crucial it is for Seattle to improve their interior offensive line, selecting Grey Zabel (one of the top prospects in this draft) was a move the 12th Man can rejoice with.
Zabel won two FCS National Championships with the Bison and declined lofty NIL offers to leave Fargo. Instead, he remained with NDSU. Now, he is headed from the great plains to the Pacific Northwest.

Seattle was reportedly interested in trading down, which is something they are prone to do. Clearly, they did not get an offer they were looking for. Not one to convince them to move off selecting Zabel.
We at Seahawks Wire will continue to update for any further action Seattle may take during the rest of the first round. As of this moment, they are not slated to make any more picks.

Jalen Williams Set For Wrist Surgery After Playing Through Thunder's Title Run
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams is set for surgery on his right wrist after playing through a torn ligament before the Thunder started their postseason run to a championship, GM Sam Presti confirmed Monday. Williams played in all 23 postseason games in helping the Thunder win their first NBA title since moving to Oklahoma from Seattle 17 years ago. He scored a playoff career-high 40 points in a 120-109 win over Indiana in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Oklahoma City beat the Pacers in seven games. The 24-year-old Williams is expected to be ready for next season, Presti said. Williams was inactive for the final two games of the regular season after playing 36 minutes in a 125-112 victory over Phoenix on April 9. Williams wrote a brace on the wrist of his shooting hand at times during the playoffs and had it taped during games. He shot just 30% from 3-point range in the playoffs, more than 6% off his percentage during the regular season. "The part that I'm most impressed with is in our modern era when someone has a poor performance or they're not playing to their capability in a game and there's a lot of attention on it, you often see a little birdie make sure that everybody knows that the player is not 100 percent," Presti said during his season-ending meeting with reporters. "Never happened with this guy, not one time. He powered through. He showed incredible mental endurance and security in himself." A first-time All-Star in his third season after the Thunder drafted him 12th overall out of Santa Clara in 2022, Williams averaged career bests of 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists.
