Meet your 2026 Seahawks draft class!

Round 7, Pick 255: Michael Dansby, CB, Arizona

Jadarian Price

While the expectation for most heading into the draft was that the Seahawks would trade down, the Super Bowl champions stuck at No. 32 to select Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price. The consensus No. 2 running back in the draft behind teammate and Arizona Cardinal’s selection Jeremyiah Love, Price was a popular mock to Seattle after they lost Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in free agency. While Price didn’t start for the Fighting Irish, he still produced, scoring 11 touchdowns in 2025, and should provide a nice compliment to Zach Charbonnett in the backfield.

Bud Clark

The Seahawks began day two by sticking at their pick to select TCU safety Bud Clark, a ball-hawking safety who anchored the Horned Frogs’ defense for his last two seasons. While Clark’s eye-popping stat is his 15 interceptions across four years, including seven in 2025, he also notched 20 passes defended in that same time span. At 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds, Clark has incredible athletic ability and should slot nicely into head coach Mike Macdonald’s defense as an elite coverage safety who will help replace the loss of Coby Bryant in free agency.

Julian Neal

Seattle finally agreed to its first trade back in the third round, moving back to No. 99 to select Arkansas cornerback Julian Neal. The former Fresno State Bulldog had a career-best year as a Razorback, notching 55 tackles, 10 passes defended and grabbing two interceptions. Neal sits at nearly the same size as Clark and uses that length in coverage. While he’s not Riq Woolen fast, Neal still ran a 4.49 40-yard dash and looks to add athletic depth to the Seahawks’ cornerback room.

Beau Stephens

The Seahawks entered day three without a fourth- or fifth-round selection until they traded a 2027 fourth-round pick to move up to No. 148 to select Iowa guard Beau Stephens. A two-year starter at left guard for the Hawkeyes, Stephens became a first-team All-American in the 2025 season. Stephens steps into a completely rebuilt offensive line, but will have to move to right guard, where he played in 2022 for Iowa, if he’s looking to start.

Emmanuel Henderson Jr.

The product of another trade back, Seattle grabbed their first pass catcher at No. 199 in Emmanuel Henderson Jr. from Kansas. After two years of not seeing the field at Alabama, Henderson became a Jayhawk and broke out in his senior season, posting 766 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 45 receptions. Keeping in line with much of the Seahawks’ other selections, Henderson is an elite athlete, running a 4.44 40-yard dash at the Combine. At 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, Henderson will slide in as a key special teams piece or backup slot receiver in the Seahawks offense.

Andre Fuller

Seattle’s first non-Power 5 selection comes in the seventh-round with the selection of Toldeo cornerback Andre Fuller. After three slow years in college, Fuller broke out in his senior season, catching his first FBS interception defending 10 passes and making 49 total tackles en route to making the first team All-MAC. Fuller is another twitchy player for Macdonald’s secondary, who has the size of an NFL corner at 6-foot-2 and 202 pounds and will benefit from having elite players around him.

Deven Eastern

A three year starter for the Minnesota Golden Gopher, Deven Eastern is the only defensive lineman the Seahawks selected in 2026. Standing at 6-foot-6 and 320 pounds, Eastern surely has the size of an NFL nose tackle and was a key piece of Minnesota’s defense. Eastern is far more of a traditional nose tackle, who’s five sacks in college won’t wow anyone, however he could prove to be valuable depth in a similar role that Brandon Pili had last season.

Michael Dansby

Can you tell that defensive back was a priority for the Seahawks in the 2026 NFL Draft? Seattle’s front office used their last pick to select Michael Dansby at No. 255, becoming the fourth secondary player in the class. A three year starter at San Jose State, Dansby spent last year with the Arizona Wildcats, maintaining a consistent level of play despite the jump in competition. Dansby posted 87 tackles, 24 passes defended, including 10 last year and seven interceptions across his college career.
