Seahawks Draft Grades 2026: Round-by-Round Breakdown of Seattle’s Picks

April 26, 2026 | 10:35 AM EDT

The defending champions Seattle Seahawks got the short end of the stick when it came to their turns in picking during the 2026 NFL draft, with their first pick being the final pick of the first round.

However, they made the best out of it and even improved their offensive options after a few free agency losses. While not many were impressed with what they got, they still have a very solid foundation coming out of the draft.

So how did the Seattle Seahawks do in the draft? Here are their grades:

Seattle Seahawks NFL Draft 2026 Grades

Round 1, No. 32: Jadarian Price, running back from Notre Dame: B+

Shortly after winning the Super Bowl and the MVP honors, Kenneth Walker III became a free agent and immediately left the team. This meant that what they need right now is a running back and they picked the best available one, locking Jadarian Price up as the final pick of the first day.

He is a solid pick who was very good at Notre Dame. However, it remains to be seen if he could live up to Walker.

Round 2, No. 64: Bud Clark, safety from TCU: B

The Seahawks added yet another defensive player. They already have the scariest defense in the league and with Clark, they are already looking to mold him to be a future defensive star. He might be serving as backup behind Ty Okada, but he would still be a solid developmental project for that vaunted defensive staff.

Round 3, No. 99: Julian Neal, cornerback from Arkansas: B

Neal is known to have the confidence and the ego and could talk a lot of trash and is very media savvy. In college, he was able to back that talk, but it remains to be seen if he could hang with the Seattle defense. He would certainly still need more development, but his addition certainly makes that Dark Side defense even scarier.

Round 5, No. 148: Beau Stephens, guard from Iowa: B+

Perhaps one of the biggest steals of the draft, Beau Stephens is an All-American who surprisingly dropped all the way to the fifth round, He will have to redeem himself next season, and the champs are definitely getting one of the best guards in college football with this steal of a pick.

Round 6, No. 199: Emmanuel Henderson Jr., wide receiver from Kansas: D

Emmanuel Henderson Jr. will be serving in the special teams as a punt returner for the Seahawks. However, with one of the most stacked wide receiver rooms in the league, he might not have much of a place in Seattle.

Round 7, No. 236: Andre Fuller, cornerback from Toledo: B-

The Seahawks unsurprisingly add another cornerback, and they are getting one with a lot of ceiling in Andre Fuller, who may be getting designated on special teams with the Seahawks. Nonetheless, this could be a solid developmental project.

Round 7, No. 242: Deven Eastern, nose tackle from Minnesota: B-

At 315 pounds, Deven Eastern is a mountain of a man who could improve Seattle’s defensive depth. He may be a diamond in the rough, but he may also be quite the steal in this year’s draft.

Round 7, No. 255: Michael Dansby, cornerback from Arizona: C

Described as a sticky cornerback, Dansby was originally projected as an undrafted free agent until the Seahawks picked him. He is known as a good pass defender but still has a lot of things to work on.
