Seahawks' Draft Dilemma: Trade or Stay?

0:00On April 8th, Seattle Seahawks got that golden touch in the draft under John Schneider, building two Super Bowl squads from scratch with fresh talent. But the 2026 NFL draft looms large with holes that running back, offensive line, and corners, and they only hold four picks starting at 30 second overall, messing up here could tank their run game and protection by pass-flops. Their backfield's shaky right now, banking on unproven guys like Emmanuel Wilson and George Halani, even if Zach Scharbeney heals from his ACL tear. They need a legit number one with speed, maybe snagging someone like Jadarian Price early, or the ground attack stays brutal. Up front, right guard Anthony Braffer has been all over the place with bad-balanced stalling drives, and no one's pushing him. Senator Jalen Sundahl is not much better and is deal-in soon, so without a rookie challenger, that offense grinds to a halt. Madras push her first round cornerback, but with Jostro blocking down the boundary next to Devon Witherspoon, and Nick Emanwari in the slot, it did just sit as a backup.

1:03That talent like Avion Terrell waste the way, unless they shuffle safeties. Instead of standing pat, they got a trade back that 30 second pick for a second third and more, avoiding the 2021 draft disaster. With two few shots at needs, smart moves keep Seattle stacking wins long-term.
