This Mock Draft Has the Seahawks Set Up to Win Right Now
The Seahawks are sitting on three picks in the first three rounds, and if Chad Reuter's mock draft hits, Seattle could be loaded with exactly the kind of talent this team needs heading into next season. Picks 32, 64, and 96 are coming, and there's real depth to add at positions that matter.
Cornerback: Filling the Secondary Void
Losing Riq Woolen and Coby Bryant in free agency leaves a massive hole in the secondary, and Tennessee's Colton Hood could be the answer at pick 32. Hood has been connected to the Seahawks before for good reason, he's one of the better cornerbacks available in this draft class. Josh Jobe has Devon Witherspoon on the other side, and Jobe earned his three-year, $24 million deal after stepping into the starting role and thriving this season. But the depth just isn't there anymore. Hood could slide into that secondary role and pick up where the team left off after the Super Bowl.
Edge Rusher: Replacing What's Missing
The Seahawks couldn't land Boye Mafe in free agency, which means edge rush is a priority with that second rounder at 64. UCF's Malachi Lawrence put up 20 sacks over four seasons and exploded this past year with seven sacks and 11 tackles for loss. At 6'4 and 270 pounds, he's got the exact frame you want rushing the passer at the next level. With Demarcus Lawrence potentially retiring in the next couple years, getting a new pass rusher in the fold matters.
Running Back: Deep Depth Play
Arkansas's Mike Washington Jr. went for 1,070 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in his final college season. He also caught 28 passes for 226 yards and another score. At pick 96, Washington isn't stealing starts from Zach Charbonnet, Emanuel Wilson, or George Holani, but he adds serious depth to the backfield and the kind of versatility that wins games in the playoff push.
Three picks, three huge needs filled. That's how you build a roster that competes in January.
