Defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks may look at running back, cornerback help in NFL draft
With limited draft picks due to free agency losses, the Seahawks are evaluating options to bolster their running back corps and secondary.
- The Seattle Seahawks will garner attention as defending Super Bowl champions and for their appearance on HBO's Hard Knocks, holding the final first-round pick on April 23.
- Seattle must address roster gaps after losing Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs and cornerback Riq Woolen to the Eagles, plus edge rusher Boye Mafe to the Bengals.
- President of football operations John Schneider has found first-round success, selecting Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Byron Murphy, while the roster features veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp and tackle Charles Cross, who signed a four-year extension.
- With only four selections in the draft, Schneider may trade out of the first round to acquire additional assets while aiming to retool rather than rest on their championship season.
- Quarterback is not a priority with Sam Darnold, Drew Lock, and Jalen Milroe on the roster, while Seattle plans to integrate Emanuel Wilson and Zach Charbonnet back into the rotation following injury recovery.
