The Seattle Seahawks appear to be a logical favorite to win Super Bowl LX this year, and it's only year two of the Mike Macdonald era. It's been a hugely successful tenure for Macdonald even if the team were to fall short of the Super Bowl. On paper, this is one of the more explosive teams in the NFL, as Sam Darnold can throw the ball down the field with high efficiency, and the defense is just overwhelming.
However, the work has really only just begun, and if you're GM John Schneider, you realize how open this Super Bowl window could be. Seattle actually only has four picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, which is very limited draft capital. This puts more pressure on the front office to hit on the right players, obviously.
Let's get into a 7-Round Seattle Seahawks mock draft, where the front offices keys in on urgent roster needs to take this group to the next level, perhaps again setting the stage for another deep playoff run in 2026.
Seattle Seahawks 7-Round NFL Mock Draft ahead of the NFC title game
32. Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee
Going from Auburn, to Colorado, to Tennessee in just three collegiate seasons, Colton Hood has bounced around a bit. Here is some of his draft profile from Ryan Fowler:
Hood’s limitations cap his ceiling slightly, but his floor is well-defined. He projects best as a dependable No. 2 outside corner who can start early in his career. With continued refinement and experience, his consistency should translate well to the next level.
Colton Hood NFL Player Comparison: Carlton Davis
The comparison is based on size, physicality, and play temperament. Like Davis, Hood wins with length, outstanding patience, and strength rather than elite speed or suddenness. Their alignment versatility is comparable, also.
There is clearly a path for Hood to hear his name called in Round 1, and the Seahawks pull the trigger.
