Seahawks Rookies: Impact & Projections

0:00On April 29th, Seattle Seahawks snag some key players in the 2026 draft, and folks are already projecting how the top picks might. Shine is rookies, we're talking immediate help at running back, safety, corner, and the line. First-rounder Jadarian Price looks set to lead the backfield, with estimates of 182 carries for 819 yards, and 8 scores, plus 20 catches for 140 yards and one touchdown. Price won't carry the full load right away, thanks to guys like Zach Sharvenay returning from injury, but his early-down power fits Seattle's needs. Perfectly, they'll ease him in, maybe not starting week 1, but he'll own those snaps by mid-season over backups like George Halani. At safety, second-round bud Clark could push for a starting spot amid injuries to Julian Love, and questions around Ty Okada. Expect around 21 tackles, two picks, and three passes broken up from him, especially in a grueling 17 games late. Julian Neal slots in as the top back-up outside corner, behind Devin Wittespoon, and Josh Job, projected for 17 tackles in one pass defense, mostly if injuries hit.

1:11Both Stevens-Mycee just 35 snaps as a backup guard, unlikely to unseat Anthony Bradford, despite the hype. These projections show Seattle building depth for now, and the future, balancing quick impact with smart development. Keep watching how these rookies stack up come September.
