Seahawks' Draft Strategy: Running Back, Line, or Trade?

On April 23rd, the 2026 NFL draft hits Pittsburgh starting Thursday, April 23rd, and the Seattle Seahawks fresh off their super.

Bull win, are eyeing some key fixes.

Their top-need screams running back after MVP Kenneth Walker bolted to Kansas City, and Zack Chardonnay heals from a torn ACL.

As defending champs, they cannot let that backfuel crumble, showing up the interior line could ease the pressure on those rushers.

Experts point to Georgia Tech's Keyland Rutledge as a prime-fitted IOL, with his strong run blocking and quick burst.

He might slide to the end of Round 2, perfect for Seattle's spot at pick 64.

Fans and analysts see ripple effects from Derrick Hall's big breakout season on the edge.

That puts Uchena Nuosu, fresh off seven sacks as a trade-chip.

Both hit free agency after this year, so GM John Schneider could flip him for picks and keep the roster young.

Seattle's draft hall stays lean, Round 1 at 32, Round 2 at 64, Round 3 at 96, and a Round 6 from the Browns at 1.

88. No picks in 4, 5, or 7 means every selection counts double.

With limited ammo, watch how they maneuver to reload that offense and stay in contention, draft nights about to drop some real decisions.
