Draft Needs
| Priority | Position | Level | Target Round | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | RB | CRITICAL | Round 2 | Lost Kenneth Walker III to Kansas City; Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL in the playoffs and likely misses much of 2026; Kenny McIntosh also returning from ACL; backfield is completely depleted |
| 2 | CB | HIGH | Round 2 | Both starting outside CBs Tariq Woolen and Josh Jobe are free agents; also lost Coby Bryant to Chicago; cornerback is a multi-player need — must retain one starter and draft additional depth |
| 3 | OG | HIGH | Round 1 | Interior offensive line ranked 28th in PFF grade (57.3); guard is listed as a starter-level need; Seahawks have only four draft picks in 2026, limiting their ability to address multiple needs |
| 4 | WR | HIGH | Round 3 | JSN is elite but no proven WR2 remains under contract; re-signed Rashid Shaheed but Cooper Kupp is in his mid-30s and WR depth is thin; need a young receiver to develop alongside JSN |
| 5 | OC | MEDIUM | Round 3 | Interior OL struggles include center; first-round pick at OC last year still developing; need competition and depth at center as the offensive line rebuild continues |
| 6 | LB | MEDIUM | Round 4 | Lost Boye Mafe to Cincinnati; linebacker depth needs addressing with only limited draft capital; inside linebacker coverage ability is needed in a defense transitioning under the new staff |
Draft Strategy
Balanced Approach
This team takes a balanced approach, weighing both player value and team needs. They will take the best player available when the value is clear, but will also factor in positional need when players are similarly rated.
