Seahawks Draft Pregnon for QB Protection

0:00On April 2nd, Seahawks fans, the teens got just 3 weeks into the 2026 NFL Draft and they're eyeing big upgrades for quarterback, Sam Darnel's protection. In a recent mock draft, Seattle grabs Oregon offensive lineman and Manuel Pregnant at the 32 overall pick to beef up the interior line. Pregnant stands 6 foot 4 and weighs 314 pounds, dominating a guard. Last year in 2025, he didn't give up a single sack and allowed only 3 pressures all season, making him a top prospect in this class. The move makes sense with Darnel thriving when he has time in the pocket, but Seattle's got other holes too, like a solid running back to anchor the offense and a cornerback after losing to Rick Wullen to free agency. Experts see this as a smart priority, since past protection could unlock the whole attack, even if those other needs linger. This draft prep heating up, keep watching how Seattle builds around Darnel to push for that next level come fall. That's the story for today, NFL News Today, driven by AI.
