Seahawks Draft Zion Young for Edge Rusher Future

It's March 23rd.

Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI, I'm Corey with the story.

The Seattle Seahawks hold the 30-second overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and pass rushers

top their list of needs alongside, cornerbacks and running backs.

General manager John Schneider has his eye on restocking the edge position early to avoid

shortages down the line.

The team already lost boymafe to free agency, while Derek Hall heads into a contract year.

On certainty's linger around veterans, the Marcus Lawrence and Uchena Nuosu, beyond

next season, putting pressure on the depth chart.

Schneider's track record shows he plans ahead at edge rusher, making this a smart spot

to invest in fresh talent rather than waiting for later rounds.

Missouri's Zion Young stands out as a strong fit with his power, active hands, relentless

motor and elite run defense skills.

Sure, his sack total sit at a career high six-and-a-half last year with modest overall production

and average athleticism, but that gives him a solid.

Four as a potential three-down player.

As the draft nears, Young could lock in Seattle's edge future right at pick 32, bolstering

both pass rush and run support for years to come.
