STM Take
Tier 5 (#36) breakout in 2024 to tier 7 (#56) in 2025 is a 20-spot regression that flags the 2024 finish as either context-driven or a one-year peak. The Auburn 37th overall draft pedigree plus the Seahawks' position-specific coaching should support continued development. The 2026 question is whether Hall returns to tier 5 territory or whether the 2025 tier 7 finish becomes the realistic stable baseline.
Hall came out of Auburn as the Seattle Seahawks' 2nd-round pick (37th overall) in 2023. He spent his rookie year as a rotational rusher before emerging into a structural role in 2024. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#110) rookie, tier 5 (#36) breakout in 2024, and tier 7 (#56) in 2025.
Strengths
- 2024 tier 5 (#36) breakout in his second NFL season confirms a top-40 EDGE ceiling exists.
- Auburn 37th overall draft pedigree plus three years of Seahawks reps gives him real developmental foundation.
Concerns
- 20-spot regression from tier 5 (#36) in 2024 to tier 7 (#56) in 2025 flags the 2024 finish as either context-driven or a one-year peak.
- Seattle's broader defensive identity transition compresses the structural support around Hall's continued development.
What to watch: Whether Hall returns to tier 5 (top 40) in 2026, the threshold for confirming the 2024 breakout was structural rather than a one-year peak.
