Seahawks' Draft Strategy: Boost Depth, Defend Title

0:00For the NFL, it's March 5th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Seattle Seahawks are still buzzing from their dominant Super Bowl 60 win over the New England Patriots. Now heading into head coach Mike McDonald's third season, the team wants to stay on top of the NFL. Their front office, led by John Schneider, has built a strong roster through the draft in recent years, grabbing stars like Devon Witherspoon and Kenneth Walker III. With few urgent holes, Seattle could trade back in the second round to stock up on picks. Analysts using mock-trap simulators see them targeting Edge Depth amid aging players and upcoming free agents like Boy Maffe. They might also eye cornerbacks as starters Josh Jobin-Rick Willen could hit free agency soon. Running back is another focus after passing on the franchise tag for Super Bowl MVP, Kenneth Walker III. His act sharpening a torn ACL will sideline him next season, so adding a reliable back makes sense.

1:00The offensive line needs guard help, too, despite overall improvements last year. In one mock scenario, Seattle grabs Missouri edge rusher Zion Young after trading with the Raiders for extra picks. They follow with Ohio State Corner, Davidson Igbino Sun, Nebraska running back Emma Johnson, Georgia Tech Guard, Keelan Rutledge, and Oregon Linebacker, Bryce Boetcher in the sixth round. These moves would boost depth across defense and offense while keeping special teams strong. Fans and experts agree it's a smart way to defend their title without overhauling the core.
