PFF Has the Seahawks Doing Something Bold at Pick 32
Pro Football Focus just dropped their latest 2026 mock draft, and they're projecting the Seahawks to take cornerback Avieon Terrell at No. 32. Yeah, you read that right. A corner in the first round. Let's talk about what this could mean for Mike Macdonald's defense.
Why Terrell Makes Sense for Seattle
Look, the secondary is always a priority in the modern NFL, and PFF is clearly buying into what Terrell can bring to the Emerald City. The talent evaluators see him as someone who could follow the blueprint that's already been successful in this organization. That's code for: he's got All-Pro potential if we can develop him right.
Brian Fleury and the offense have weapons to work with in Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp. But a championship team is built on both sides of the ball, and corner is clearly a hole Mike Macdonald wants to fill early. Terrell in the first round would signal the coaching staff's confidence in addressing that need right away.
The 2026 Draft Class is Loaded
PFF's mock has Terrell going to Seattle at 32, which means there's depth at the position and opportunity across multiple rounds. The question isn't whether the Seahawks will address the corner spot, it's how aggressively they'll do it. Taking Terrell early says: we're building this defense now, not waiting around.
The draft class is deep enough that Seattle could still find talent elsewhere, but if PFF is right about Terrell's value, waiting longer might mean missing out on a guy who can make an impact immediately.
What's Next
We're still in free agency, but the Seahawks are clearly thinking ahead. Every pick, every move has to be about building a team that can compete in the NFC West. If Terrell is the guy, then expect to see his name called when Seattle's turn comes. Either way, the secondary overhaul is coming.
