Bradfordās 2025 season produced a 48.9 overall PFF grade, the lowest among Seattleās starting offensive linemen in the championship year. His struggles were most pronounced in pass protection, where he logged a 32.3 grade, underscoring a pattern of below-average play across his three NFL seasons.
Bradfordās reliability is evidentāhe has started 38 games across three seasons, including 10 as a rookie and 11 in 2024 before earning every-game status in 2025. Still, the trend line suggests durability without consistent performance, raising questions about long-term value at right guard.
NFL.comās Kevin Patra highlighted Bradford as the Seahawksā weak link up front and urged Seattle to explore potential right guard options in the 2026 draft. His assessment aligns with the broader view that Seattle should consider reinforcement at guard to complement this roster.
With Bradford slated to hit unrestricted free agency next spring, the Seahawks may not pursue a new deal. Front office plans should include a realistic path to replacing him by 2027, whether through the draft or another avenue, given the teamās uncertain long-term fit at right guard.
Seattleās draft landscape adds complexity: the club holds No. 32, 64, 96 and 188 overall picks but could consider trading back to accumulate more selections. The teamās primary needs extend beyond guard to running back and cornerback, with recent departures of Kenneth Walker II, Riq Woolen and Boye Mafe shaping the March-to-April strategy and the 2026 draft outlook.
