Seahawks' Draft Focus: Beyond Receivers

0:00On April 8th, the 2026 NFL draft hits Pittsburgh later this month, and the Seahawks are rolling in after that Super Bowl 60 win. Their roster is stacked with youth and talent, so any new picks got a battle for spots. They've only got four selections right now. Round 1 pick 32, round 2 pick 64, round 3 pick 96, and a round 6 from Cleveland at 188. At wide receiver, they're loaded, no desperate needs here. All their top five receivers from last season are back. Jackson-Smith Injibba, the offensive player of the year, dropped a franchise record 1,793 yards, and locked in a huge extension. Cooper Cup brings vet smarts and playoff clutch. Rasheed Shaheed set for a bigger role-post trade, Tori Horton's healing from injury for speed. Alongside him, Anjake Bobo's the ultimate team glue on specials and blocks. Seattle's draft history at receiver under John Schneider shows hits like Golden Tate, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, and recent Jim Jackson-Smith Injibba.

1:05They've nabbed contributors across rounds, but that Legion of Boom lesson sticks, they hunt tough smart competitors who fit with stars. Draftbuzz highlights first-round studs like Ohio State's Carnell Tate, with his body control, USC's Mackay Lemon for that physical slot grind. Washington's Denzel Boston for Big Man Agility, Arizona State's Jordan Tyson with smooth separation, and Texas A&M's KC Concepcion despite drop. Issues. Seahawks might eye middle or late-round speed for special teams coverage instead. With this depth locked in, Seattle's ahead at receiver, freeing them to grab best player available elsewhere. Keep watching as the draft shapes their next run.
