Seattle Seahawks Could Trade Back in NFL Draft to Secure Top Talent The Seattle Seahawks are set to select the final pick of the first round at No. 32 overall during the 2026 NFL Draft on Thursday night. However, general manager John Schneider has already signaled the team’s intent to trade back, as they currently hold just four total selections in the draft. This strategy is driven by the need to bolster their roster with additional picks, particularly in the later rounds. Schneider’s comments at a recent press conference confirmed the team’s approach, stating, “It’s no secret with us. We have four picks, so we’ll be looking to move back.” NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah provided insight into how far the Seahawks might trade back, emphasizing the importance of securing key players. A central focus of the discussion was Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, who is speculated to be a top target for Seattle. Price could replace Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, who left for Kansas City via free agency. Jeremiah highlighted Price’s potential impact, noting, “I still think (Jadarian) Price is a big part of that equation. So how far back do you want to slide? How comfortable are you going back?” Jeremiah’s mock draft scenario suggested the Seahawks could trade back to the No. 45 overall pick, a move that would provide more flexibility in the second round. He outlined potential players they could target in that range, including defensive prospects like Oklahoma’s R Mason Thomas, UCF’s Malachi Lawrence, and Illinois’ Gabe Jacas. For the cornerback position, he mentioned South Carolina’s Brandon Cisse, Georgia’s Daylen Everette, and South Carolina’s Jalon Kilgore as viable options.#notre_dame #seattle_seahawks #john_schneider #jadarian_price #daniel_jeremiah
