The Seahawks' defense saw a host of rotational players move on in free agency, so it makes sense for the franchise to bolster those positions.
The Seattle Seahawks' defense was the main force in their Super Bowl win last season, dominating the postseason en route to hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
But when free agency arrived, Seattle saw the likes of Boye Mafe, Riq Woolen, and Coby Bryant move on, which created roster holes that need filling.
As of yet, Seattle appears content to go with what it has and look to address some needs via the draft.
Still with a little over $30 million in salary cap space, the Seahawks have the funds there if they want to use it, but that could be earmarked for Devon Witherspoon's big extension.
With only four selections in the upcoming draft, how general manager John Schneider approaches it will make for interesting viewing.
A pick in each of the first three rounds, before one in the sixth round. That's it.
For Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine, in naming a surprise draft need for every team, when it came to Seattle, defensive tackle was his choice.
"The Seahawks have just four picks in the draft this season," Ballentine wrote. "They have pressing needs at running back, cornerback and edge-rusher, but they could be inclined to add an interior defender as well.
"Leonard Williams and Brandon Pili are set to become free agents in 2027. Williams will obviously be a priority re-signing, but the Seahawks might want to use one of those four picks to add a player who could be ready to be in the rotation by next season.
"Darrell Jackson Jr. could be a target with the 96th pick."
The defensive lineman could be a good run lane clogger for Mike Macdonald, and while taking him in the third round could be seen as a dart throw, a defensive player under Macdonald's watch is always going to have a good chance of hitting.
Not the biggest stat-getter, as not many defensive linemen are, Jackson Jr. posted 7.5 sacks 12.0 tackles for loss across his five college seasons.
A huge presence in the middle of the defensive line, Jackson Jr. is a powerful unit who, by all accounts, can shed blocks and make his way upfield.
Not seen as a starter in the league, at least initially, Jackson Jr. could give the Seahawks some good depth along the defensive line as he works on his game in the hope of becoming a staple of Seattle's defense.
