Schneider's Draft Pick: Rebuilding Seahawks' Secondary

It's April 3rd. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm

Corey with the story.

Seattle Seahawks General Manager John Schneider just got named the 2025 NFL Executive of

the year, and it's all about how he built. That squad through the 2022 draft. That class

delivered big time, with 7 out of 9 rookies sticking around for the Super Bowl 60 championship

roster.

As like Tackle Charles Cross, running back Kenneth Walker III, who snagged game MVP

honors, Tackle Abraham Lucas, and Cornerback Kobe Bryant all, started in that 29-13

beatdown of the Patriots. Those draft picks turned into core pieces, but free agency hit

hard this offseason.

Five of those seven key players bounced, Boyet may fade to the Bengals, Walker to the

Chiefs, Bryant to the Bears, Reek Will into the Eagles, and Darekay, Young to the Raiders,

losing that much talent from the secondary Sting's deep, especially with Woollen and Bryant

combining for 24 takeaways over four years. Fans and analysts are filling the void in Seattle's

defense, knowing the Hawks need fresh blood to stay elite after that title run. The secondary

took the biggest hit, leaving holes that could derail another deep playoff push, if not

filled smartly.

Now mock drafts are buzzing with Schneider, grabbing Clemson defensive back, Avion Terrell,

at the 32nd overall pick.

The 5-foot 11-speedster had a standout year with 46 tackles, 3 sacks, 11 pass breakups,

and a school record 5-force fumbles. Scouts love his quickness, instincts, and versatility

to play nickel or outside right away. Schneider's track record shows he can reload fast, turning

draft gems into winners while eyeing the next ring keep watching how he rebuilds that.

The secondary for another Seahawks surge.
