Which ‘Wild Cards’ Could Seahawks Select With No. 32 Overall Pick in 2026 NFL Draft?
Coming out of a free agency period where they managed to retain most of their Super Bowl roster, the Seattle Seahawks did lose multiple starters such as running back Ken Walker III and cornerback Riq Woolen, leaving a few significant holes to fill heading towards the 2026 NFL Draft on April 23-25.
Considering the loss of Walker, Woolen, safety Coby Bryant, and edge rusher Boye Mafe, conventional wisdom would suggest Seattle intends to plug those gaps early in the draft, particularly at the cornerback and EDGE spots that feature quality talent and depth in the 2026 draft class. However, with the exception of Walker and possibly Mafe, the Seahawks have quality succession options already on the roster to help fill those voids and the continuity on the roster as a whole gives general manager John Schneider and coach Mike Macdonald flexibility to draft the best player available rather than chase needs, particularly with the No. 32 overall pick in the first round.
Under the guise of picking the best player on the board, which prospects from “wild card” positions could the Seahawks potentially pursue with their first selection later this month?
