Who Do Seattle Seahawks Land in LIVE Seven-Round MOCK DRAFT?

In this live seven-round mock draft episode of Locked On Seahawks, hosts Corbin Smith and Nick Lee simulate the 2026 NFL Draft for the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, who pick 32nd in the first round. The duo debates trade scenarios and player selections, ultimately choosing Malachi Lawrence, a powerful edge rusher from UCF, at pick 32 to address the team’s pass rush needs. They then trade down from pick 64 to 70 with the Kansas City Chiefs, acquiring an additional third-round pick and selecting running back Jadarian Price at 70—despite acknowledging he’s unlikely to fall that far in reality. In the third round, they pick Washington cornerback Tecario Davis to replace Rick Woolen, citing his size, athleticism, and fit with the Seahawks’ defensive scheme. At pick 109, they select guard Fernando Carmona, a late-third-round talent with elite athleticism and zone-blocking ability. Finally, in the sixth round, they target Jeff Caldwell, a 6'5" receiver with elite speed and special teams potential, acknowledging the high-risk, high-reward nature of late-round picks. The hosts emphasize the importance of drafting for traits, especially in later rounds, and reflect on the limitations of mock draft simulators in replicating real draft-day dynamics, including trade flexibility and timing. The episode underscores the Seahawks’ focus on addressing key positional needs—edge rusher, running back, cornerback, and interior offensive line—while also highlighting the strategic value of trading down to accumulate picks. The hosts express skepticism about the depth of the 2026 draft, particularly in the later rounds, and caution fans against overvaluing late-round selections. They also promote the Locked On Seahawks Every Day or Club membership, which offers ad-free episodes, private Discord chats, and exclusive content. Overall, the mock draft serves as both a fun exercise and a strategic exploration of how John Schneider might approach the 2026 draft with a limited number of picks and a need to balance immediate needs with long-term roster building.
