A new mock draft for the 2026 NFL draft, eyes their 30 second overall pick, to keep that defensive lead by grabbing Clemson Edge rusher. TJ Parker, a beast with size and burst to fill that gap right away. They double down on the front 7 at 64th overall, with Oklahoma defensive lineman, Grayson Halton, adding depth before injuries hit since. Seattle hasn't signed anyone up front yet. This keeps Mike McDonald's scheme humming, where confusion rules the secondary. At 96 overall, they snag Kansas State's safety VJ pain, a 6 with 3 playmaker, with cover skills to pair perfectly with Devon. With a spoon and Nick Mn. Worre, his versatility means offenses stay guessing, countering teams that key on most stars. The biggest void is running back after Kenneth Walker bolted to Kansas City, so at 188th overall, Clemson's Adam Randall steps.
1:06In a big-body former receiver turn runner, to back up Zack Sharbenay and Emmanuel Wilson. These picks turn future worries into strengths, letting the Seahawks roll deep into another title run without missing a beat.
