Summary
The Seattle Seahawks 2026 draft class gets the full recap after covering the draft from the road. From three picks at or near their original selection on Day 1 & 2 to a chaotic Day 3 trade spree that doubled this year's pick total. We talk about John Schneider's "targeted" plan and clear themes: needs-based selections, versatile and physical defenders, and guys that have a clear Seahawks mentality. The top picks get the spotlight: Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, TCU safety Bud Clark as a favorite for his ball skills and swagger, and Arkansas CB Julian Neal as a press-minded, willing tackler. The late-round swing to trade up for Iowa guard Beau Stevens highlights the flexibility Schneider had with his 2027 draft selections thanks to his free agency strategy this year. We close on special-teams-focused payers like Emmanuel Henderson Jr., Andre Fuller, and Michael Dansby, developmental nose tackle Devon Eastern, plus quick thoughts on how the class stacks up to recent drafts.
