Seahawks Mock Draft: Colton Hood for Secondary

On March 17th, the Seattle Seahawks rode their stout defense to a Super Bowl 60 victory last season, so it's no shock they're eyeing more help on.

That side, in the 2026 NFL Draft.

ESPN Draft Guru Mel Kuiper Jr. has them selecting Tennessee Cornerback Colton Hood, late in the first round to shore up the secondary.

The team was key starter Rick Woolen to the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency, leaving a noticeable gap despite adding Josh Job and Noah.

Ivano and A. Woolen struggled to mesh with coach Mike McDonald's scheme anyway, but his departure still stings after his pro bowl days.

Fans and analysts see Hood as a seamless fit, with his length, solid speed, and knack for breaking up passes, he at 10 last year despite just one.

Pick. Seattle still boasts star Devon Witherspoon, and safety, Nick M&Werry, who locked down the slot as a rookie.

Hood's path wasn't straightforward, he bounced from Auburn to Colorado before thriving at Tennessee in 2025, especially after teammate.

Turmide McCoy's preseason injury opened the door for his breakout.

This mock draft pick could lock down the Seahawks secondary for years, keeping their championship defense dominant as they chase another ring.
