Seahawks' Draft Focus: Cornerbacks for Secondary

On March 18, the Seattle Seahawks are generating buzz in mock drafts after free agency, with

experts zeroing in on their secondary needs.

As defending Super Bowl champions, they lost key cornerbacks like Rick Woolen and Kobe

Bryant, prompting picks like Tennessee's Colton Hood at the A, 30-second spot and

Mel Kiber Jr.'s latest from ESPN.

They soften the blow by retaining Josh Job, grabbing Noah Igbenagin and Rodney Thomas

II and resigning Josh Jones for depth.

On offense, they locked up receiver Rashid Shaheed to a 3-year $51 million deal, but with

just 4 picks in the April draft, every choice counts.

Analysts see these moves highlighting a push for young, physical corners that fit Mike

McDonald's defense.

Names like South Carolina's Brandon Sissy for his size and closing speed, Tennessee's

Jermain McCoy for Ubside and Clemson's Avion Terrell for.

They keep popping up across CBS, the Athletic and the Ringer.

One outlier comes from clutch points, linking Oregon Guard Emanuel Pregnant to Seattle to

bolster the interior line amid expiring contracts for guys.

Like Anthony Bradford, it's a reminder that trenches matter too, even after their championship

run.

With the secondary still unsettled despite some additions, cornerback looks like the

smart first round play unless they trade down, giving the Seahawks solid options to

stay contenders.
