We dive into multiple mock drafts to see who the Seattle Seahawks might target with the No. 32 pick in the NFL Draft.
The Seattle Seahawks deploy the most complete roster in football, as apparent by their run through Super Bowl LX. In 2026, the expectations remain high, but they aren't desperate to reload in the NFL Draft like other teams.
Nonetheless, it remains an impactful phase of the offseason.
Seattle currently has just four selections in the 2026 draft, including No. 32 in the first round.
There is a possibility this year's Executive of the Year John Schneider wheels some trades to bolster the draft capital, but for now, we survey the mock draft landscape to see who the Seahawks should target in Round 1.
Cornerback
Devon Witherspoon is eligible for a contract extension this year, but remains on his rookie deal as one of the best young cornerbacks in the league. His opposite-side running mate is more of a question going into 2026 for the Seahawks.
Riq Woolen and Josh Jobe are both free agents, so perhaps the team could take a stab at cornerback in the draft if both of them aren't retained.
ESPN and CBS Sports both predict South Carolina corner Brandon Cisse to be available at No. 32 for Seattle.
"The top cornerback on the board at this point is Cisse, who plays with good anticipation and speed to the football," said draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. in his January mock.
"He had only one interception across the past two seasons, but he did have 12 pass breakups over that time, so the ball skills are there. Cisse would be a good fit under coach Mike Macdonald."
Another name to look out for is Tennessee's physical cornerback Colton Hood, who is mocked to Seattle at the end of the round by NFL.com.
Safety
A similar predicament might be there in the deep secondary for Seattle, too, as safety Coby Bryant is entering free agency.
Bleacher Report has the Seahawks pairing emerging second-round pick from 2025 Nick Emmanwori, runner-up to this year's Defensive Rookie of the Year award, with Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman.
"Thieneman's experience in Oregon's secondary as a robber adds something extra in Seattle," analyst Daniel Harms said. "Plus, he adds further appeal as a true center-fielder.
"The Purdue transfer is a physical, downhill defender against the run, with the ability to execute a variety of roles on the back end. The addition of another versatile weapon will have the Seahawks defense flying around and sustaining a high level of play."
Interior Offensive Line
Outside of first-rounder Grey Zabel, the Seahawks had some struggles with the interior of the O-line and could address the position group again in Round 1 of 2026.
Lance Zierlen of NFL.com has Seattle targeting Texas A&M guard Chase Bisontis.
"John Schneider loves to trade out of the first round," Zierlen acknowledges, "but Seattle has a clear need at the guard spot opposite last year's first-round pick, Grey Zabel. Bisontis provides the kind of toughness and scheme versatility that should be appealing."
Edge Rusher
The run-stopping force on Seattle's defensive line was one of the best units across the league during the season, but a pure pass rusher could be of interest for Macdonald's "dark side" defense.
Clutch Points' Tim Crean has the Seahawks picking Missouri EDGE Zion Young to close out the first round.
It's not the most necessary need, but with it being such a prized position that values depth, it's never a bad idea to throw a dart in that direction if the opportunity is there.
That mindset, in a way, could be in play for Seattle if they remain at No. 32, no matter what position they may have in mind.
