2026 NFL Combine PROVES Seahawks Can Still Find Draft Value with Limited Picks

The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine just wrapped up in Indianapolis, and it delivered some key insights for the Seattle Seahawks as they eye their options with the No. 32 overall pick—fresh off their Super Bowl victory! The workouts, testing, and interviews helped narrow down the prospects who best fit Seattle's defensive-minded scheme under Mike Macdonald and John Schneider. With a thinner draft class overall but solid depth in spots like edge rushers, cornerbacks, linebackers, and safeties, the combine clarified where real value lies—especially for a team with limited picks looking to add immediate impact. In this episode, we break down the biggest combine standouts, risers (including some Ohio State defenders and athletic freaks who turned heads), and how they align with Seahawks needs. We dive into potential targets at pick #32—could it be a versatile linebacker like Anthony Hill or one of a bevy of great defensive back options, or even a safety? It's all about smart, targeted drafting: finding gems in the right positions rather than forcing reaches in a weaker top tier. Don't miss our full analysis of combine takeaways, updated mock draft fits for Seattle, and what this means for building on that championship roster.
