Seahawks' Draft Picks: Cornerbacks or Trade?

0:00On March 5, NFL teams are gearing up for the 2026 draft in Pittsburgh from April 23 to 25th, even as for the agency, Looms. The Seattle Seahawks, fresh off their Super Bowl victory against the Patriots, land the 30 second pick in the first round, plus the 64th, in the second and 96 in the third. They only hold 4 picks total right now, including a sixth rounder from Cleveland, stemming from last year's trade. Seattle dealt away their fourth and fifth round selections to New Orleans for receiver Rashid Shaheed, and their original sixth went to Jacksonville, for defensive lineman Roy Robertson Harris. With cornerbacks Rick Woollen and Josh Joe hitting free agency, the Seahawks face a clear need in the secondary, especially under new defensive. Skings, fans and analysts see this as a prime spot to rebuild that unit after key departures. Experts largely agree in their early mocks, projecting Clemson cornerback Avion Terrell, South Carolina's Brandon Sissy, Tennessee's Colton Hood, or another volunteer, Dermod McCoy, heading to Seattle at number 32.

As free agency shakes things up first, these draft projections could shift, but the Seahawks late first round slot gives them flexibility to target. Defensive help or trade around for more assets.
