Seahawks Eyeing Edge Rusher James-Newby for Draft

0:00It's April 6th, NFL News. Today starts now, AI powered and always on. Seahawks are gearing apart for the 2026 NFL draft, but they only got four picks to work with. General manager John Schneider plans to squeeze every bit of value out of them. Their defense crushed it last season, especially upfront on the D-line, and now they might chase more past-rest juice to keep that edge sharp. Keeshawn James Newby, the explosive edge-resher from New Mexico, just spilled that he already met with Seattle and has a second in-person visit locked. In. He transferred from Idaho and lit it up in Albuquerque with 52 tackles, nine sacks, and two fumble recoveries he forced himself. Folks are buzzing because Seattle's starters on the line are elite, but depth took a hit. A guy like James Newby could slide right in and rebuild that binge-strength without messing with the top dogs. He's been chatting with other squads too, like the Detroit Lions' linebackers coach and scouts, plus Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings.

1:03Schneider loves finding hidden gems, so expect him to wheel and deal if James Newby keeps rising. With the draft still months out, keep eyes on these pre-draft moves. They could shape Seattle's front seven for years.
