0:00On April 2nd, the Seattle Seahawks are fresh off a Super Bowl 60 win against the New England Patriots and now they're gearing up for the 20. 26 NFL draft to chase a repeat. Sitting at the back of the pack with a 30 second overall pick in Round 1, they've got just four selections total, Round 2 pick 64. Round 3 pick 96 and a Round 6 pick 188 from Cleveland. Those trays that cost picks, like snagging wide receiver, Rashid Shaheed from New Orleans paid off big in the title run. John Schneider might wheel and deal again on draft night, maybe trading back from those early picks to stock up on Day 3 value. The roster stacked from recent drafts, but injuries and free agency create holes they can ignore. Take running bag Zack Sharbenay, he balled out but tore his ACL in January, so expect Seattle hunting for depth there, maybe guys like Mike. Washington Jr. from Arkansas, or Jonah Coleman from Washington. Interior offensive line these bolstering two, beyond rookie Gray's able strong debut, at guard names like a manual pregnant from Oregon, could fit on.
1:07Day 2. Secondary, lost some depth with free agents like Comedy Bryan and Rick Willen departing, so cornerbacks such as Chris Johnson from San Diego State, or, safeties like Bud Clark from TCU make sense later. Edge Russia spot open when Boya may have left for 60 million with Cincinnati, leaving to Marcus Lawrence and others to rotate, Derek Moore from. Michigan, fits the bill. Schneider's crew has nailed drafts lately, turning first rounders like Devon Witherspoon and Byron Murphy into stars, plus gems across rounds that, built this champ squad. With smart moves ahead, Seattle's prime to reload without overhauling. You've been listening to NFL news today, AI powered football coverage.
