We’re well past the main waves of NFL free agency and just over a month away from the NFL draft. Since my last mock draft, the Seahawks have solidified the wide receiver room by re-signing Rashid Shaheed and Jake Bobo, but have new roster holes left by the departures of Tariq Woolen and Kenneth Walker. Same as last time, the Pro Football Focus mock draft simulator was used for this exercise.

1.32: Emmanuel Pregnon, Left Guard, Oregon

With the running back room in flux, the best thing Seattle can do is make sure their backs have the best offensive line possible in front of them. Pregnon is a mauler in the run game who posted an 85.8 run block grade in his final season at Oregon, and he should be a good fit for Seattle’s zone-based rushing scheme. Pregnon will also provide an upgrade over Anthony Bradford in pass protection, as he allowed just five pressures over 471 pass blocking reps, and his worst season in pass protection (2024) resulted in a 3% pressure rate. Pregnon would slide right in as a solid starter at right guard and give Seattle five offensive linemen they have supreme confidence in.

2.64: Dani Dennis-Sutton, Edge, Penn State

Once again, I’m using this spot to grab a defensive lineman that can contribute immediately as a rotational end and take over for Demarcus Lawrence in the future. Dennis-Sutton was a three-year starter for the Penn State defense. He was a consistently good pass rusher, posting win rates of 15.9%, 14.4%, and 15.8% while accumulating 22 sacks. His missed tackle rate of 19.4% leaves a lot to be desired, but his grades as a run defender never dipped below 71.6 as a starter, further showcasing his floor as a player. Dennis-Sutton may not even be there at 64, given his outrageous athletic testing, but he’s a player Seattle should sprint the card in for if he’s available.

3.96: Malik Muhammad, Cornerback, Texas

Retaining Josh Jobe gives Seattle the flexibility to play the value game at corner, and in this scenario, they get awesome value with Malik Muhammad dropping. Muhammad was a three-year player for Texas, accumulating 1,190 snaps in coverage and posting solid grades ranging from 69.8 to 79.9. Standing six feet tall and just 182 pounds, he’s a slender corner, but a fantastic athlete. This is a worthwhile gamble on a plus athlete with experience late in day two.

6.212: J’Mari Taylor, Running Back, Virginia

With their final pick, Seattle adds another potential contributor to their RB room. Taylor excelled in his lone FBS season at Virginia, rushing for 1,064 yards and 14 touchdowns while chipping in 43 catches and 251 yards receiving. He forced 55 missed tackles and broke off 11 runs of 15 yards or more, showcasing his dynamic skillset. Taylor is a fifth-year senior, as he spent his first four seasons at FCS North Carolina Central, but he’s only handled 577 carries over his five years and should have a lot of tread left on the tires. The reason Taylor is still here at pick 212 will likely be his brutal athletic testing, but running back has been a position where athletic testing doesn’t have strong correlation with pro production. As long as Taylor can provide some hard running and chip in as a receiver, he’s worth this pick.
