The Seahawks Just Made a Mock Draft Move That Changes Everything
The latest mock draft projections are out, and Seattle's thinking cornerback in the first round. As the Seahawks gear up for what could be a historic season after their Super Bowl championship, the draft buzz is heating up around defensive backs who could reshape the secondary.
Two Names Keep Popping Up in Seattle's Direction
According to the latest mock draft intel, two prospects keep getting linked to the Seahawks in round one. The consensus from NFL Draft experts? Seattle is looking hard at cornerback help. That makes sense when you consider the roster moves the team has already made this offseason. With the depth chart taking shape around QB Sam Darnold, WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp, the offense is locked in. Head Coach Mike Macdonald and Offensive Coordinator Brian Fleury have some serious weapons to work with. But defense wins championships, and that secondary is where the Seahawks appear ready to invest draft capital.
What's Happening at UW
The mock drafts are also shuffling around some local talent. A UW wide receiver just got a new projected landing spot in the latest version. The Emerald City always pays attention when Husky talent is moving around the league, and this one's got people talking about what it means for the 2026 draft class.
The Bigger Picture
With JSN locked into his massive extension and the core offensive pieces in place, Mike Macdonald's Seahawks are clearly focused on fortifying the defense. The draft board is coming into focus, and cornerback looks like the priority. Whether it's one of the trio of CBs being mocked to Seattle or another option entirely, the message is clear: the defending champs aren't done building. They're hunting for that next piece that puts them back in the Super Bowl conversation next season.
