The Super Bowl Champs add to their vaunted "Dark Side" defense with a rangy safety to complement 2025 rookie sensation Nick Emmanwori. Georgia LB CJ Allen could also be a consideration here.

Seattle has only four 2026 picks, so I tried to trade back from No. 32 but didn't get any nibbles. Comfortably the best remaining player on Brugler's board (No. 18), Terrell lacks the size of his brother (Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell), but GM John Schneider drafted an undersized corner early in 2023, and it's fair to say Devon Witherspoon has worked out. Riq Woolen and Josh Jobe are pending free agents (as is safety Coby Bryant). The Seahawks could re-sign one to start opposite Witherspoon (with Nick Emmanwori in the slot), but having another corner in the rotation would maximize coach Mike Macdonald's options. It's hard to find athletic cornerbacks with instincts and playmaking ability like Terrell's beyond the early rounds.

When a team wins the Super Bowl, it's easy to say they don't have any needs, but the Seahawks can afford to beef up the interior of their OL in my eyes. Emmanuel Pregnon is viewed by some as the best OG in the class, but while I have him behind Penn State's Olaivavega Ioane, the gap between them isn't wide.

Not only were the Seahawks picking at the end of each round by virtue of winning the Super Bowl, but they came in with just four picks. But like magic, general manager John Schneider doubled that number through four trades. And he walked away with a few very good football players.

Part of the reason the Seahawks won the Super Bowl was an incredible playoff stretch from Kenneth Walker III. He totaled 313 rushing yards over three games, and he went for 135 in the Super Bowl. But with big-game performances come big contracts, and Walker left for Kansas City, opening a void at running back. Zach Charbonnet tore an ACL during the playoffs, meaning the RB1 spot is up for grabs, even after the Emanuel Wilson signing.

Jadarian Price steps in as a possible answer. He is a powerful runner with change-of-direction ability and enough speed to get free for the occasional long gain. Fumbles are an issue (three last season), but if he can iron out those issues, he can be a high-volume ball carrier on first and second down. Price doesn't offer a ton as a pass catcher, but he is the clear second-best back in this class behind his former Notre Dame teammate, and he can step in as the new RB1 in Seattle.

Bud Clark is a ball hawk who popped at the combine, running a 4.41-second 40 and finishing in the top five at his position in both jumps. He has 15 interceptions over the past four seasons. Julian Neal, the third-round corner, has four over the past two years. Clark can help fill the Coby Bryant hole, while Neal will likely team up with Josh Jobe to get reps at the CB2 spot, as the Seahawks lost Riq Woolen in free agency. Neal doesn't have Woolen's speed (his 40 time was 4.49), but he has a big 6-foot-2, 203-pound frame on the outside.

Beau Stephens has starting guard upside (no sacks allowed over the past two years), and Deven Eastern is a big presence at defensive tackle (6-foot-5, 315 pounds). Seattle added picks, but there aren't many chances to make an impact beyond the top two rounds.

GM John Schneider, who loves to accrue draft capital (often at the expense of premium selections) entered the draft with a league-low four picks, then — somewhat stunningly — did the stick-and-pick thing in Rounds 1 and 2, taking RB Jadarian Price and S Bud Clark, respectively. Both players could and should play a lot as rookies, both due to their draft status and the players Seattle lost in free agency, namely Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III and S Coby Bryant. Yet Schneider still managed to wheel and deal his way into doubling his crop into eight picks. This is how champions are built, two times over now in Schneider's case with two completely different rosters, an NFL anomaly for a GM.
