Which Players Have Seahawks Drafted After Official 30 Pre-Draft Visits?
With the 2026 NFL Draft less than three weeks away in Pittsburgh, the Seattle Seahawks and all 32 teams are tying up loose ends and finishing official visits with a variety of prospects. These on-site meetings allow players to meet with coaches and personnel staff as well as undergo medical examinations and physicals.
So far, the Seahawks have been linked to 15 prospects for official 30 visits, including multiple potential first-round targets such as Tennessee cornerback Colton Hood and Missouri defensive end Zion Young.
In terms of relevance, the majority of players who fly out to Seattle for these pre-draft visits won't be drafted by the team, as only 26 of their 137 draft choices since 2011 have been used on players reported to make those visits, or just 18.9%. However, recent history suggests at least one of their slated four picks in this year’s draft will be a player who visited the team facility this spring, while several others could be signed as priority undrafted free agents or brought in for a tryout at rookie minicamp. These visits offer plenty of significance for general manager John Schneider and the front office, and that trend continued even after the arrival of Mike Macdonald as Pete Carroll’s successor.
Looking back at their past 15 drafts, with 2021 being excluded due to most visits being done virtually because of COVID protocols, which players who reportedly attended official “30” visits at the VMAC wound up being drafted or signing with the team?
Analysis: Could Seahawks Opt for ‘More Bobo,’ Match Jaguars’ Offer Sheet?
Making a last minute pivot in the final hour before free agency officially kicked off on March 11, the Seahawks decided to change course by placing a right of first refusal tender on restricted free agent receiver Jake Bobo, hoping that would prevent another team from signing the popular veteran.
But a little over a week after tendering him at a $3.52 million value for 2026 with the aim of discouraging other suitors from signing him, even after deciding not to let him become an unrestricted free agent as originally planned, Seattle still faces the prospect of losing Bobo. Still drawing interest from other teams, the Jaguars jumped into the fray by signing the former UCLA standout to an offer sheet, giving the Seahawks five days to make a decision on whether to match the offer or allow him to walk away in free agency.
According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, Jacksonville offered a two-year deal worth $5.5 million, which would actually carry smaller cap hits than the $3.52 million value of Bobo’s tender. The deal carries $4.5 million in guaranteed salary with a big chunk of that being paid out in the second year, which goes against how Seattle typically structures contracts, especially for reserve players. The contract also has $1.5 million in additional incentives available to push the maximum value to $7 million.
Analysis: Ranking Riq Woolen, Seahawks Projected 2026 Free Agents
Now officially in offseason mode after capturing a Super Bowl title for the second time in franchise history, the Seattle Seahawks have several big questions to answer on the free agency front with a new league year set to begin on March 11.
Compared to prior offseasons, the Seahawks have a quite healthy financial situation, as OverTheCap.com has them currently with $62 million in effective cap space, the sixth-most in the NFL. But at the same time, in addition to 16 unrestricted and restricted free agents, general manager John Schneider has several young stars now eligible for extensions, including All-Pro receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and cornerback Devon Witherspoon, inevitably meaning that the franchise won’t be able to keep everyone set to hit the market next month.
