Will Hawks draft for the future of the front four?

Leave a comment

This is the least important draft for the Seahawks since 2021. Other than running back, they have no roster holes for 2026 — and they are set to make a very strong run at a Super Bowl repeat.

But what about 2027 and beyond? That is where this draft comes in.

The Hawks have many questions after 2026 about their defensive front: Leonard Williams, Uchenna Nwosu and Derick Hall will be free agents, DeMarcus Lawrence is expected to retire and Jarran Reed likely will be released ahead of his age 34 season.

They need to figure out who will be playing around Byron Murphy II after 2026.

Time for Schneider to prove he can pick well from the bottom

2 Comments

A lot of fans think John Schneider has suddenly gotten a lot better at drafting over the past four years. But that’s easy to say when he has been picking in the top 20. 

In two weeks, we will find out whether he has gotten any better when his first pick comes outside the top 20.

Over his 16 drafts as Seattle general manager, Schneider has drafted eight guys in the top 20 and made seven initial picks outside the top 20. (He has thrice traded his first-round picks for veterans.)

What about offensive line on Day 2?

2 Comments

With three weeks until the draft, most of the focus around the Seahawks is on getting them a cornerback and running back.

One position that is not being mentioned a lot for Seattle is offensive line. That’s because the Hawks have one of the best lines they have had during the John Schneider era. Of course it is all relative. This line was ranked 15th in the NFL last season by Pro Football Focus and 17th by Pro Football Network. Only the 2020 unit has ranked higher since 2010 (when Schneider became GM).

The Hawks obviously are locked in at the tackles and left guard for the next few years, which is great news. But center and right guard are positions that can be upgraded. Might the Hawks consider it, even with just four picks?

‘You can find’ running backs: Cheap Band-Aids or pay a bigger ‘Price’?

“That’s a position that you can find guys.” — John Schneider on running backs   

Along with everyone else, we probably have been a little too caught up in how the Seahawks are going to replace both Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet in 2026.

A lot of mock drafts have them reaching for Notre Dame’s Jadarian Price at No. 32. Some fans have been wishing for a trade for Miami’s De’Von Achane or for Arkansas’ Mike Washington Jr. in the draft. We have suggested Chuba Hubbard as a cheaper trade option.

John Schneider said on his radio show last week that “you can find” running backs and they are still looking. This week has been proof of that with the Seahawks reportedly attending the Notre Dame Pro Day to see Price, hosting former Steelers first-rounder Najee Harris (recovering from a torn Achilles) and also bringing in a couple of rookie UDFA options on top-30 visits.

They are exploring all options.

Who might the Hawks take after these mock first rounds?

4 Comments

We’re 57 weeks out from the NFL draft the Seahawks really care about, but the one before that is just five weeks away – and the mock drafts for it are heating up.

Over the past week, the Hawks have been focused on playing the comp game for a strong 2027 draft. After losing four key players, they are projected to get four comp picks in 2027 and receive 12 picks overall. That is three times as many picks as they are bringing to the draft next month.  

But hey, three of those four picks this year are the big ones – Rounds 1, 2, 3.

The two biggest draft analyst titans – Daniel Jeremiah and Mel Kiper Jr. — just released new mocks, so this is a good time to look at how the Seahawks’ draft might go if they started with the players listed in these mocks. We’ll add some other mocks to riff off as well.
