7-Round Seahawks Mock Draft: Seattle’s gamble pays off and it boosts the offense in new mock draft simulator
The Seahawks roll the dice by trading out of the first round and get their guy in this latest mock draft. It’s another step forward in their Super Bowl defense as the offseason rolls on.
The NFL Draft is a few weeks away and the Seattle Seahawks probably won’t make a huge splash come April 23-April 25.
That’s no indictment on them by any means – the Seahawks have just four picks in the upcoming draft. That’s because ‘Hawks sent a fourth- and fifth-round pick to the New Orleans Saints for Rashid Shaheed’s services, last year.
And, since they won the Super Bowl, they’re obviously picking last in Rounds 1 and 2, with the third-rounder coming in the final five selections. As it stands, the Seahawks are picking at Nos. 32, 64, 96, and 188.
However, the Seahawks were able to dig out of that hole using A to Z Sports’ mock draft simulator. I rolled the dice with a trade back from 32 and as you’ll see, the final result is a very appealing one.

Round 2, No. 38: Seahawks TRADE BACK with the Texans and select Texas A&M Aggies G Chase Bistonis
Seahawks receive: No. 38 overall, No. 69 overall (third round), No. 141 overall (fifth round)
Texans receive: No. 32 overall, No. 96 overall
The Seahawks dropped six spots from 32 to 38, but jumped from 96 to 69 in Round 3. They added the first pick of the fifth round in this trade. Now, the Seahawks own picks 38, 64, 69, 141, and 188 in this mock draft.
And, they get one of the top guards on the board in Chase Bisontis.
The Seahawks need someone to come in and challenge Anthony Bradford at left guard. Bisontis totally fits that bill and should beat Bradford out for the job, improving both the starting position and depth.
Bisontis is a great fit for Brian Fleury’s zone scheme, as he’s a light-footed guard who has good short-area quickness. He can execute pulls and get to the second level, as well, demonstrating ability in a power scheme, as well.
Granted, he’s a bit light at 6-foot-5, 315 pounds and it’s fair question how much mass he can actually add. However, Bisontis’ technique and experience in a pro-style system can help offset his size issues.
Top players left at 38: Oklahoma Sooners EDGE R Mason Thomas, Georgia Bulldogs DL Christen Miller, Texas Tech EDGE Romello Height, San Diego State CB Chris Johnson, Texas Longhorns LB Anthony Hill Jr.
Round 2, No. 64: Texas Tech EDGE Romello Height
Height is one of the more underrated pass rushers in this draft. He has excellent athleticism, bend, and his burst off the line is among the best. His pass rush bag is deep and beats offensive linemen across their face with ease. Height can even drop back in coverage when asked.
Boye Mafe left in free agency and Demarcus Lawrence turns 34 a few days after the draft. So, the Seahawks need a pass rusher and Height can help fill that void as a specialist in 2026.
The knocks against Height are his size and age. He’ll be 25 during his rookie season and he’s not an effective run defender at 6-foot-3, 239 pounds. Still, he has a large enough frame to where he can bulk up without losing his explosiveness. That’ll take some time, as well as improving his run defense technique, but there’s enough in the pass rush department to where it’s worth the wait.
Plus, Macdonald can use him send after QBs in multiple ways thanks to his skill set. It’s a good pick that can turn into a great one down the road.
Top players left at 64: Arkansas Razorbacks RB Mike Washington, Texas Longhorns CB Will Lee III, Alabama Crimson Tide EDGE LT Overton
Round 3, No. 69: Arkansas Razorbacks RB Mike Washington Jr.
The Seahawks nabbing Washington at 69 in this mock draft is an absolute steal. He’s a big back at 6-foot-1, 223 pounds, but he has the straight line speed to take it the house at any moment.
Washington would give the Seahawks a very effective 1-2 punch alongside Emanuel Wilson. Once Zach Charbonnet returns, the ‘Hawks will have one of the NFL’s more effective rotations, as well.
Washington needs to run more behind his pads and work on his pass protection, but there’s plenty of ability, here, and he’ll help keep the Seahawks ground game alive.
Top players left at 69: Texas Tech Red Raiders LB Jacob Rodriguez, Miami Hurricanes CB Keionte Scott, Cincinnati Bearcats LB Jake Golday
Round 5, No. 141: Washington Huskies CB Ephesians Prysock
Day 3 is where teams start looking at traits more than anything and man, it’s hard to dislike what Prysock has put on paper this offseason.
For starters, he’s a lanky corner with good size at 6-f00t-3, 193 pounds with 33-1/8″ arms and an 80-1/2″ wingspan. The Seahawks just lost one of their own big corners in Riq Woolen, which lends more credence to the idea of this pick.
Granted, he barely has any on-ball production, but hey, Woolen had just two interceptions through four seasons, himself. Regardless, Prysock is best in zone coverage, which is great news considering the Seahawks deployed zone at the third-highest rate last year.
Prysock has a lot of work to do, but the talent is there and he’s a scheme fit. That’s a great combo for a Day 3 pick.
Top players left at 141: Texas Longhorns S Michael Taaffe, Baylor Bears WR Josh Cameron, TCU Horned Frogs S Bud Clark
Round 6, No. 188: Baylor Bears WR Josh Cameron
We talked about Bisontis being a good fit for Fleury’s scheme. Well, Cameron could easily land a Deebo Samuel-type role and we all know how well that worked out for Kyle Shanahan for a few years.
Cameron, like Samuel, is essentially a running back once he gets the ball in his hands and thrives in the open field. A former zero-star recruit (you read that right), he’s a physical route runner who knows how to create space. He has good short-area quickness and his physicality is what allows him to work through contact and play the role of a bowling ball, essentially.
He’s also best when playing Z or slot at 6-foot-1, 224 pounds. Regardless, he can play multiple positions, which is always handy.
But, similar to Samuel, Fleury will have to scheme Cameron open more than he can rely on him win via route running. He’s not going to beat anyone vertically on a consistent basis, either.
Either way, the Seahawks get a very productive player (he was the Bears’ leading receiver last year) and their OC will know exactly how to use him. That’s about as promising as it gets for a late-round rookie.
How did this Seahawks mock draft grade out?
Ultimately, I received a “B” for my efforts. Josh Cameron was considered a flat-out steal and our draft simulator thought my trade was good enough to where it registered as a “B”, itself. However, the simulator gave my first three picks a “C” grade, which I have to disagree with:
Either way, objectively speaking, I’d consider this draft a success in all phases. I’m sure the Seahawks would, too.
