We are now halfway through the Seattle Seahawks' 2025 schedule, with nine out of 17 games in the books.

A few things we know about this team is that they're talented as hell in all three phases, they're well-coached on both sides of the ball and they appear ready to make their first deep playoff run in 10 years.

Let's see where their starters rank at their respective positions going by Pro Football Focus' grades.
