2026 NFL Draft Tracker: Will Seahawks Make First Round Selection at Pick No. 32?

Bringing in another exciting group of prospects from the college ranks, the 2026 NFL Draft will finally kick off from Pittsburgh on April 23, with a whopping six teams not holding selections in the first round.

Among those that will have a selection on Thursday night, the Seahawks hold the No. 32 spot at the tail end of the round by virtue of winning Super Bowl LX in February. But with only three other selections in the remaining six rounds, general manager John Schneider hasn’t been secretive about the franchise’s desire to move down and recoup draft assets, making it anyone’s guess whether the team actually makes a selection or not on Day 1.

Set to wait 31 picks before going on the clock regardless, assuming Schneider doesn’t pivot and unexpectedly trade up, Seattle will have plenty of time to weigh its options and call around seeking a potential trade partner.
