Seahawks' Draft Strategy: Reload Air Attack

About this episode

Seattle Seahawks 2026 NFL Draft: Focusing on Passing Game with Limited Picks

With the 2026 NFL Draft approaching, the Seattle Seahawks have narrowed down their picks to four, making each choice crucial. The team needs reinforcements at running back, offensive line, edge rusher, and corner spots, but wide receiver might not be a top priority after securing Rashid Shaheed long-term. However, if a top pass-catcher like Omar Cooper Junior or Denzel Boston falls to the first round, the Seahawks might consider it. The teams passing game ranked eighth last year, and with Sam Darnold at quarterback, adding a versatile first-rounder could boost their air attack. Veteran Cooper Kupp is aging, shifting more to mentor mode, leaving room for a new star in the Seahawks offense.

0:00On March 2-8, with less than a month until the 2026 NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks are down to just four picks, making every choice. Count big time. They need help by running back, inside the offensive line, edge rusher and corner spots, but wide receiver might not scream priority after locking in. Rashid Shaheed, long term. That said, if the stars align in the first round, they could snag a top pass catcher, like Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. or Washington's Denzel Boston. Guys like USC's McCuy Lemon or Arizona State's Jordan Tyson slipping that far would tempt them too, especially since they cooled on Texas A&M's KC. Concept C-O, post-Shaheed signing. Fans and analysts are buzzing because Seattle's passing game ranked eighth last year at 228.1 yards per game, fueled by. Jackson Smith and Jigbas, offensive player of the year run. They even hoisted the Super Bowl's 60 trophy. But when JSN sat out some, things stalled hard.

1:02Now with Sam Donald slinging it, adding a fresh weapon makes sense. JSN's all precision routes, Shaheed's pure speed, saw a versatile first rounder. Fits perfect. Veteran Cooper Cup, balled out with six catches for 61 yards in the big game, but at 33 next season, on his 3 year 45. Million dollar deal? He's shifting more to mentor mode. Bottom line, this draft could reload their air attack without forcing in, keeping the champs dominant as defenses stack up on their stars.
