Seahawks Draft: Plugging Holes for Super Bowl Run

0:00It's April 1st. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Corey with the story. The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up as Super Bowl favorites for 2026, but free agency hit them hard, stripping away key pieces like, running back Kenneth Walker III, corner reek Willen, safety Kobe Bryant, and ed rusher Boyet Mayfei to Fatter Deal's elsewhere. They held on to wide out Rashid Shaheed and corner Josh Job, and made some minor free agent tweaks, but now the NFL draft in April is their big shot too. Rebuild depth with just four picks at numbers, 32, 64, 96, and 188. Losing those vets leaves holes at corner, safety, and running back, shaking up a defense that was lights out last year under Mike McDonald and thinning the backfield behind Zach Sharbanay, who's still nursing an injury. Scouts are eyeing underrated gems like Alabama corner, Domani Jackson, a speedy 4.4-140

1:01guy with cover skills but tackling flaws. Perfect for rotation behind Withaspoon and Job, Arizona safety, trade-and-stukes, a 4.33 burner with four picks last year for deep range, and Indiana's compact powerhouse Kalon Black, a hard-nosed 200-pounder at 5 foot 9 to grind yards, and fit the Seahawks gritty. Identity. These late round steels could plug those gaps quick, keeping Seattle's contender vibe rolling strong in a draft season.
