The Seahawks addressed their secondary needs in the second round, drafting Bud Clark.
The Seattle Seahawks had a couple of glaring needs entering the NFL Draft, with running back being the major one.
But the other was in the secondary after free agency saw a handful of players leave, and in the second round of the NFL Draft, general manager John Schneider addressed it.
The Seahawks, with the No. 64 overall pick, selected TCU safety Bud Clark.
With Julian Love and Ty Okada as the starters for Mike Macdonald's elite defense, now they get some much-needed depth in the form of Clark.
We know that the offense took center stage in the first-round as Notre Dame's Jadarian Price was selected, now Seattle addressed defense with Clark.
With Macdonald's fondness for having players in his secondary who have a knack for taking the ball away, Clark fits that mold.
Seen by scouts as highly instinctive, superb in coverage, and able to diagnose a play early before turning into a heat-seeking missile, Clark's speed is noticeable.
Plus, what Macdonald will love is Clark's ability to create turnovers.
In each of his last four seasons, he's managed at least three interceptions, so adding that sort of monster to the secondary will make the Seahawks stout against the pass.
Well, that is the thought anyway.
Given that the Seahawks only had four selections in the draft, Schneider knew he had to hit on each selection, and you could make the case that so far, he's done just that.
Price filled an urgent need at running back, while Clark gives the Seahawks defense some much-needed takeaway juice and depth at the position.
Seattle was already a well-rounded roster, and now it has added two pieces that I think will play key roles in 2026 for Macdonald.
Of course, the offseason will give us a good indication of how the Seahawks will use both Price and Clark, but there's no denying that Seattle has brought in two really solid players.
It was always going to be an interesting watch to see how Seattle approached the draft, and after two rounds, it can sit comfortably knowing it's got two starting-caliber players to add to the Super Bowl mix.
