32 overall after their Super Bowl smashing of the New England Patriots , so there’s a little more intrigue than usual in terms of how John Schneider works the draft board with the fewest picks of any team. Last week, we asked whether or not the Seahawks would use the draft to address the running back room, and it looks like most of you expect Day 2 (Rounds 2-3) to be the sweet spot for Seattle to invest in the position . This week’s question is the same deal, except for the edge rusher position.

While Seattle only lost Boye Mafe in free agency , there’s still uncertainty at the position. Both Derick Hall and Uchenna Nwosu are in contract years while DeMarcus Lawrence could just as easily hang it up after 2026 than see out his 2027 contract. Jared Ivey and Connor O’Toole were nice undrafted acquisitions but hardly saw the field on defense.
