Seahawks Land NFL-Ready Safety Bud Clark

0:00On April 27th, Seahawks GM John Schneider, wheeled and dealed on days 2 and 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft, doubling their prospect haul with some smart trades. But they landed TCU safety bug Clark at pick 64 overall in the second round without giving up anything extra. This six-year horned frog, stay put his whole college run and turn heads with steady production. Clark balled out over his final four seasons from 2022 to 2025, playing 47 games and racking up 201. Tackles? Three and a half tackles for loss? One sack? 15 interceptions? 21 past deflections and two defensive touchdowns? That kind of taped screams NFL ready, especially dropping into a defense led by one of the sharpest coaches around. Fans and analysts see Clark as another gym, like last year's Nick Mnworry. Potentially the top rookie on Seattle Squad. He joins a super bowl champion unit that's deep at safety

The secondary got a boost after losing Kobe Bryant and Ricoel in a free agency, now restocked with Clark plus third round corner, Julian Neal and seventh round defensive backs Andre Fuller and Michael Danzby. No need to trade up or burn future picks, pure value at the tail end of round two. Schneider's moves quiet the noise from a wild free agency, setting this champion squad up to stay elite without the drama.
