The Seahawks only have four selections in the upcoming NFL Draft, so general manager John Schneider has to hit on all his picks.
The Seattle Seahawks will enter the NFL Draft in April knowing that they must hit on all of their picks.
Granted, every team likely comes into the draft with that mindset, but the Seahawks have just four selections for general manager John Schneider to work his magic with.
A pick in each of the first three rounds, and then one in the sixth-round is all that Schneider and head coach Mike Macdonald have to work with.
So, the franchise does feel a little limited in how it can approach the draft.
ESPN's Field Yates noted that quarterback-needy teams could look to trade back into the first round, and with Seattle holding the No. 32 selection, it could acquire more draft capital by doing so.
But if things stay the same, and the Seahawks hold on to their picks, how could the franchise approach it?
Well, Clutchpoints' Ben Strauss has done a mock draft via PFF, and has had a shot at predicting who the Seahawks could take.
At No. 32, Seattle picks receiver Denzel Boston from Washington.
In the second round, Macdonald gets another edge rusher, Derrick Moore from Michigan. In the third round, Seattle again went with a pass rusher, in Auburn's Keyron Crawford.
And with the last pick, the Seahawks selected Texas linebacker Trey Moore.
So, three defensive players and just one on offense for the Seahawks.
With the Boston selection, Strauss notes that the Washington receiver could play a similar role to that of DK Metcalf.
"Boston is not quite DK Metcalf in terms of physical dominance, but he could play a similar role for the Seahawks," Strauss wrote. "This pick makes so much sense for Seattle."
With Moore and Crawford, the duo will help Macdonald's pass-rushing stocks, given the urgent need to replenish the position.
Both could see some snaps in 2026, and early, most likely as rotational players.
And lastly, Moore, according to Strauss, seems more of a project player, and in the sixth round, that is most likely what teams are going to get. Someone who will take time to develop.
Who knows, the Seahawks might get steady linebacker play from Moore as a rotational player.
Either way, going by this mock, the Seahawks want to bolster their defensive stocks after free agency, and that seems like a good plan.
