The first round of our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft closes with the Seattle Seahawks. This mock, which is run by 31 of our most loyal commenters, will run two full rounds. But this pick will close out our first.

Acting as general manager for the Seahawks in this mock draft is commenter JJ2672. They’ve waited patiently to make their selection—a minor price to pay for a Super Bowl ring.

But before we get to the selection, head to our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft tracker. There you’ll find the previous 31 picks, along with links to each article and a grade for each pick, as decided by you, the readers. Don’t forget to cast your vote for each pick with the poll at the bottom of the articles.

Now, onto this pick:

With the 32nd pick in the 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select Brandon Cisse, cornerback out of South Carolina.

Here’s JJ2672 explaining the pick:

“We are the Champions… of the World!” Hey, I’d be a loser if I didn’t sing that, you jealous land dwelling knuckle draggers!! Here in the beautiful land of snow capped mountains and the salty smell of the fresh oceanic waterways, Seahawks super fans take pride in a strong Seahawks defense. The kind of defense that doesn’t get knocked around by wind and waves, nor are we distracted by the annoying music of the mythical Siren (yes, I’m talking about the diva mermaids in the NFC West).

That is why we have drafted CB Brandon Cisse of South Carolina. Cisse boasts an unofficial 9.12 RAS score (and with some unofficial reports, his RAS could reach an elite status of 9.97) highlighting a 4.40 40-yard dash at his pro day.  He also showed off his athleticism with a 41 in vertical, and a 10-foot-11 broad jump. Pair that with his competitiveness and physical style of play, he’ll be the next generation of CB play putting fear in our quarterback rivals as they become the prey.

Fun fact, Brandon Cisse was present for the NFC Championship game against the Rams. He was a special guest of current safety and South Carolina Alum, Nick Emmanwori. That would be some amazing chemistry.

With a run on cornerbacks in the draft, it was now or never to get someone to fill the team’s biggest need. Running back is also another big need, but we’ll be able to find a suitable replacement later in the draft.

So, welcome to the unrelenting, aggressive, and smothering defense Mr. Brandon Cisse. Your physical style will fit right in as we continue to show that the NFC West and the rest of the NFL who are the real Champions!
