Seattle Seahawks NFL Mock Draft Roundup 4.0

After letting Riq Woolen walk in free agency, Seattle replenishes its cornerback depth with Hood, who had 50 tackles, eight pass breakups, an interception and a forced fumble in his lone season with the Vols.

Terrell put together a disruptive final season at Clemson, as the younger brother of Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell Jr. forced five fumbles in 2025 (after three in 2024). Though Avieon Terrell is on the smaller end (5-11, 186 pounds), that ability to punch out the ball would make him a good asset for a Mike Macdonald defense that had the sixth-most takeaways last season (25). Plus, he is a natural coverage corner who could take some of Riq Woolen's vacated snaps.

This would be a fortuitous twist for the champs, as Price is the 43rd player on my board and slides only because teams attacked more premium positions. An excellent complement to Jeremiyah Love, Price is a physical and fast runner who can also make plays in the return game. While he had just six catches in 2025, he could grow into a better passing option with more exposure. The Seahawks need backfield help after Kenneth Walker III signed with the Chiefs.

They lost Coby Bryant to free agency, so Thieneman would compete right away. He is a playmaker who has the range to fit in this scheme.

The Seahawks still have all three of their starting cornerbacks from the Super Bowl team (Devon Witherspoon, Nick Emmanwori, Josh Jobe), but losing Riq Woolen, who played 917 defensive snaps last season, is a blow to Seattle's depth. The current backup corners are Nehemiah Pritchett, Noah Igbinoghene and Shemar Jean-Charles. Johnson is No. 42 on The Athletic's consensus big board and No. 38 on Dane Brugler's list of the top 100 prospects after recording nine pass breakups and returning two of his four interceptions for touchdowns last season. — Michael-Shawn Dugar

I started at the available offensive guards at this spot for so long. There are also a few intriguing defensive line and wide receiver prospects here. Even after the investments made at both spots, I wouldn't rule out the Seahawks continuing to bolster both positions. Instead, the Seahawks get the versatile Thieneman from the state just south of them. Thieneman would be an excellent fit in Mike Macdonald's two-high scheme, unlocking his two-way ability as a run defender and in coverage, while also allowing him to play from a high position to take advantage of his ability to read and close on the football. Thieneman would allow the Seahawks to live in their five and six defensive back looks and unlock the rest of Seattle's talented defense.

While they would have liked to retain Walker, other priorities — like re-signing WR/KR Rashid Shaheed — took precedence. But Seattle doesn't have the luxury of standing pat in the run game, either, given RB2 Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL in January. Price is a slasher who starred in a timeshare with Love at Notre Dame and could nicely fill Walker's role — maybe one of Shaheed's, too, if the Seahawks opt to make him a bigger part of the offense in 2026.

I see a steep drop at the running back position this year after Price. He would slide right into the mix in Seattle, with Kenneth Walker III departing and Zach Charbonnet coming off injury.

Twenty picks after Jermod McCoy came off the board, another Tennessee corner closes out Round 1 of this mock draft. Hood fits perfectly with the Mike Macdonald defense as a cornerback with length and decent speed, and while he had only one interception in 2025, he broke up 10 passes. The defending Super Bowl champions returned Josh Jobe and brought in Noah Igbinoghene, but Riq Woolen is off to the Eagles. Hood could get significant reps on the outside in Year 1.

The Seahawks lost some key pieces from their title-winning team, so general manager John Schneider will look to add some good value. Parker fits that bill, and he might be a steal if you can get him with the last pick of the first round. The Seahawks still have to deal with Stafford and some other talented passing games this season. Adding another pass rusher would go a long way in helping to repeat.
