Seahawks Draft: Building on Super Bowl Win

0:00On April 23rd, the 2026 NFL Draft kicks off tonight in Pittsburgh, and all eyes are on the Seattle Seahawks fresh off their Super Bowl. When two months ago against the San Francisco 49ers, as defending champs, they hold just four picks total, starting with the 32nd overall selection in Round 1, but they might trade out of it altogether. Seattle kept most of their free agents, which helps, but gaps remain after losing cornerbacks. Ric Wullen and Kobe Bryant, plus past rushers like Boy, Maffe, with contracts winding down for Derek Hall and Uchen in the Wosu. Running back took a hit too, when Kenneth Walker III headed to Kansas City, so they could target depth there, despite few chances to draft. Fans are buzzing with excitement mixed with patience, knowing the team's strong core means no panic moves needed. The Super Bowl glow still lingers, but these holes in the secondary and edge could shape their strategy if they stay put. Round 1 starts at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific on ESPN, ABC, and NFL Network, with clocks now at 8 minutes per pick to speed things up.

1:05Seahawks could be on the clock between 8 and 8.30 p.m. Pacific, barring trades. Their other picks sit at 64 in Round 2, 96, in Round 3, and 188 in Round 6 from Cleveland. Tune in close, because anything can shift fast on draft night, and Seattle's poise to build smart without overhauling a winner. You've been listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage.
