Seahawks Draft Blueprint: Depth, Versatility, and Contention

0:00On April 23rd, Seattle Seahawks GM John Schneider sits at pick number 32 in the 2026 draft, with just three more coming at. 64, 96, and 148. Their roster stays stacked even after losing key pieces from their Super Bowl squad, no major gap screaming for fixes. Mop drafts get wild here since they can trade around for value without rushing big swings. Earlier this week, one smart sim sees them trading back from 32, with Houston, grabbing 38 and 106 while shipping A. Future 7th Rounder. That net's brand in CC cornered from South Carolina to pair with Devon Witherspoon and filled a void left by Rick Wullen. Then at 64, AJ Halsey, Safety out of LSU, doubles down on the secondary for Mike McDonald's versatile scheme. Fans buzz about the depth at corner and safety, loving how these picks let stars like Witherspoon roam free. Impact hits hard replacing losses without free agency splashes, but adding reliable backs like Halsey keeps the defense humming.

1:04Still, grabbing running back Mike Washington at 96 from Arkansas raises eyebrows, solid size and speed as his X-sharbon A-Hedge, but this. Week RB class might overvalue him long term. Follow-ups include flipping 106 to Cleveland for 107 and 206, snagging speedy wide-out Malik Benson from Oregon, for deep threats and returns. Later, Jager Burton, interior lineman from Kentucky, brings SEC grit for the trenches, an edge-resher Tyreeke sat from Florida, adds power up front. This blueprint trades future picks for immediate depth, letting Schneider build on strengths without forcing fits, perfect for a contender eyeing. Another ring.
