Seahawks Draft Strategy: Top Corner, RB, Edge Rusher

0:00On April 4th, Seattle Seahawks waved goodbye to some big names in free agency, like running back Kenneth Walker III, corner-back Kobe Bryant, Reek, Woolen, and Edge R Usher Boy Maff. They only grabbed Emmanuel Wilson as a running back replacement so far, banking hard on their draft success to fill the gaps. Instead of splashing cash on bets, they're eyeing the 2026 NFL draft for playmakers. Pro football networks T.J. Randall dropped a seven-round mock where Seattle snags a stud corner-back, first overall, and round one, pick 32. That's Tennessee's Colton Hood, who stepped up as the top corner when injuries hit his squad. He brings serious ball skills in depth to a secondary that's then after those losses, flipping a coin over other top corners like South Carolina's. Brandon Sissey, round two, pick 64, goes to Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, a speedy threat with kick return touchdowns and six yards per carry.

1:00Average. Was Zack Sharvenay still rehabbing his torn ACL? Price steps in fresh without much mileage to replace Walker's production. Then in round three, pick 96, Alabama's LT Overton, a versatile edge guy at six with three 274 pounds. He fits perfect in Mike McDonald's scheme, sliding anywhere on the line for that defensive boost, Seattle craves heading into the draft season.
