Seattle Seahawks 2026 Mock Draft Roundup 3.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft, we will update our Seattle Seahawks Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Seattle Seahawks from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

The following are picks from recent NFL mock drafts for the Seattle Seahawks:

NFL.com — Charles Davis

32. Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon

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.

The Athletic — NFL Writers

32. Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson

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.

CBS Sports — Fornelli

32. Emmanuel Pregnon, IOL, Oregon

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.

2025 NFL Draft Grades: Seattle Seahawks

The 2025 NFL Draft is now in the rearview mirror, and we have compiled a consensus ranking using NFL draft grades from a variety of sites.

What draft grades have the media given to the Seattle Seahawks? What are they saying about the Seahawks' 2025 draft haul?

CBS Sports - Grade: B

Best Pick: Second-round tight end Elijah Arroyo has great pass-catching skills. He should become an immediate part of their offense for Sam Darnold.

Worst Pick: I didn't love the pick of quarterback Jalen Milroe in the third round. He's a project, a wonderfully gifted project, but he will take time.

The Skinny: Getting offensive lineman Grey Zabel in the first was a good, sound pick and they followed that up by taking South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori, who I thought could go to them in the first. It was a solid draft -- if not special. I do like fifth-round receiver Tory Horton.

ESPN - Grade: A

Top needs entering the draft: Guard, center, defensive tackle and wide receiver

Seattle made one of the biggest roster changes of the offseason, swapping out quarterback Geno Smith for Sam Darnold. But is it actually better because of the decision? I'm not so sure. If Darnold is better than Smith, it's only by a small amount. Yes, this is a team coming off a 10-7 season, but it has major holes, including at wide receiver, where DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are out and Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are in.

The good thing? General manager John Schneider had the capital entering this draft to add quality starters and solid depth. With three picks in the first two rounds -- Nos. 18, 50 and 52 -- he had a chance to come away with multiple starters.

I'm a big fan of how Schneider approached every day of the draft, but especially the first two. Grey Zabel will be an instant starter at guard. Nick Emmanwori is one of the best athletes in this class, and he should help solidify the defensive backfield. The Seahawks traded up to get him, but he's a great fit and it was a value on my board. Elijah Arroyo is my third-ranked tight end -- they got him at No. 50. Quarterback Jalen Milroe isn't ready to start, but he has unbelievable traits and could help the running game in 2025. I thought he had a chance to go at the top of Round 2. Seattle did a stellar job addressing holes but also looking to the future.

Damien Martinez is a Day 3 player to watch. Last season, he averaged 4.5 yards after contact per rush, which ranked fourth in the FBS. I wouldn't be surprised if he found a role as a rookie. I'm a fan of the versatile Rylie Mills, who can play in any defense. He had 7.5 sacks when lined up as a defensive tackle last season and is powerful at the point of attack. Wideout Ricky White III and offensive tackle Mason Richman are good players.

All in all, Schneider had a tremendous weekend, improving his roster in several areas. This class gets high marks.

Sam Darnold: How close will the 2025 version of Darnold be to his breakout season last year? That's the obvious question, especially considering last year's environment (coaching and supporting cast) was about as ideal for a quarterback as possible. On a positive note, the former top-three pick is still only 28 years old despite entering his eighth NFL season. Darnold threw for 4,319 passing yards, 35 touchdowns and 12 interceptions last season and finished as fantasy's QB9. It's definitely possible that the fantasy community (myself included) is discounting him too much in 2025.
