Seahawks' Strategic Edge Rusher Pick

0:00On April 9th, Seattle Seahawks got just 4 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, so General Manager John Schneider knows every choice counts big. Time. He's built the roster smart over the last couple years, leaving few holes, but with ad-rushers like DeMarcus Lawrence and Boy A Mave possibly out. They got a nail-it. Analyst Daniel Jeremiah, laid it out clear on Seattle Sports Radio, pushing for Oklahoma's R Mason Thomas as their pick at number 32. At 6 foot 2 and 241 pounds, he's a tweener, but his power, speed, and burst fit perfect in Mike McDonald's past rush rotation. Thomas balled out in college with 17-sex, 25 and a half tackles for loss, and first team all SEC honors his last year. With their chin and no woesoo aging and Lawrence on the clock, they could ease him in, keep him fresh as a number 3 guy throwing heat every snap. He's ranked 9th among ad-rushers this class, number 44 overall per mat drafts, and lit up the combine with a 4.67.

1:0440 yard dash, Seahawks might trade down from 32 to snack him early second round if cornerbacks are safety's go quick. This move could lock down their front for years, turning limited picks into real edge heat without forcing a reach. Seahawks stay in strategic as always.
