In this story:

The Seattle Seahawks' 2026 NFL Draft is officially upon us and the team is excited to add some new members in hopes of repeating as Super Bowl champions in the upcoming campaign.

Since the Seahawks enter this draft with only four selections, the team is expected to get creative on the trade market in hopes of walking away with more rookies than selections they had coming into the weekend.

Look for general manager John Schneider to be busy on the phones in hopes of acquiring more picks throughout the weekend, especially in the middle rounds since there is nearly a 100-pick gap between their third and fourth picks over the course of the weekend.

Day 1: Thursday, April 23 (Round 1)

Pick No. 32: Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price

Grade: B-

The Seahawks get Price, who fills a big need at running back, but they could have traded back into the second round to acquire more picks. Five of the last six picks were traded in the first round, but the Seahawks couldn't find a suitor for a deal.

They ultimately go with the second-best running back in the draft, getting Price to lead the backfield next to Zach Charbonnet when he recovers from his torn ACL.

Day 2: Friday, April 24 (Rounds 2-3)

Picks: No. 64, 96

  • This is where the Seahawks typically find their identity players. With picks 64 and 96, the focus is on the defensive interior and linebacker range.
  • How do the Day 2 picks specifically address the game-changing secondary needs mentioned by the coaching staff? The Seahawks can get even more creative by moving up in the second round if there's a specific player they like.

Day 3: Saturday, April 25 (Rounds 4-7)

Pick: No. 188

  • Currently, Seattle only has pick No. 188. Day 3 will be about value over volume. Will they trade that 6th-rounder for multiple 7ths, or stay put for a traits-based project?
  • The Seahawks will also be identifying the priority undrafted free agents immediately after the draft ends. The goal will be to find players who can make an impact on special teams.
