0:00On April 26, Seattle Seahawks just wrapped their NFL draft, but honestly, the picks don't even matter much. They're coming off a 2025 World Championship thanks to a killer haul from last spring that loaded their roster with 24. Rookies, they won 17 games, crushed the Patriots in the Super Bowl, and still got talent stacked deep enough to redshirt half those guys. Even with that depth, GM John Schneider went hard, grabbing a running back they needed, a guard for the line, and four defensive backs in rounds five. Through seven, started with one late pick, ended with six. They lost big free agents like Super Bowl MVP. Kenneth Walker III, Safety. Kobe Bryant, an edge-rusher boy, a maf. But no major holes otherwise. Fans and folks are buzzing about how last year's draft babies are already stars. Gargrays Abel, and Safety. Nick Emanwery made all rookie teams and look, Pro Bowl Bound. Tied in Elijah Arroyo, flasped before injury. Receiver Tory Horton scored five touchdowns, and defensive lineman Riley Mills had that huge Super Bowl.

1:08Sack, injuries opened doors for depth players last year, and now, playing time's going to be tight. Coach Mike McDonald loves this new crop swag, and confidence. They play aggressive, exciting ball. Schneiders all about leveling up, meaning always getting better and meeting challenges. These rookies, like that six-foot-five, 320-pound nose tackle who loves getting violent, fit right into a secondary with studs like Devon Witherspoon. Bottom line, Seahawks are stacking 70 players to battle for those 53 spots, blending fresh aggression with champs grit. Expect them to keep dominating, no matter who makes the cut.
