S.P's 2026 Mock Draft: 2.0

[Seattle Person]

1st Round: (#32)

• Selection: Jadarian Price - RB: (Notre Dame): 5’11: 203 lbs: 4.49 (40): 1.61 (split): 35’’ (Vertical): 10’4 (Broad). Price will be 23 by the start of the season. He has way more mass than 203 lbs. Price is a no-fuss, 1-cut, get down hill type of back. His tape shows a highly explosive dude moving downfield that is hard to tackle. Well balanced and can weave in and out of traffic. Looks faster on film than his raw testing numbers. What he can do is get north and south quickly while being decisive about it. Despite running a 4.49 and a 1.61 split, he can consistently win the edge. He has good vision. He lets blocks develop and fits a wide-zone scheme very well. His decisiveness allows him to know when to cut back in zone. Little tread on his tires as he shared the rock with J. Love at Notre Dame. Willing blocker that will put his face in the way with solid technique. He drops his hips and fully engages with the rusher. He hasn’t really shown the ability to be a huge part of the passing game and has never been the main ball carrier. In addition, he suffered a ruptured Achillas injury during his freshmen year. Jadarian Price fits the mold of a Seahawk first rounder. Good head on his shoulders, not selfish, loves football, no character concerns, really productive when given the chance. He’s going to fight for extra yards – he averages 4.28 yards after contact (a good number). What he isn’t is Ken Walker. He doesn’t dance. He doesn’t make guys miss. He sees a hole, he hits the hole, he makes big plays. Exactly what this offense needs. I think the Seahawks hand select him to share the load in 2026. By next season, he can be the full time starter or share the load with Zach Charbonnet if Z.C is brought back. Price is a one school dude that probably had opportunities to transfer. He was 2nd-fiddle to Love at Notre Dame. Stayed true to the Fighting Irish. That probably appeals to the Seahawks.

2nd Round: (#64)

• Selection: Jalon Kilgore - Safety: (South Carolina): 6’1: 210 lbs: 32’’ ⅞ arms: 4.40 (40): 1.56 (Split): 37’’ (Vertical): 10’10’’ (Broad): 4.32 (Shuttle): 16 reps (Bench). Kilgore will be 21 for all of the season and just turned 21 this past January. I struggled with his pick because I really want to take an Edge. The rub is I don’t really like any of the Edges enough to take one in this range. I just keep going back to the DBs. They are the strength of this class. I think the Seahawks are going to sign another veteran pass rush specialist. Drafting an Edge is put on hold until 2027. Jalon Kilgore was brought into the VMAC for a 30-official visit. The Seahawks are interested. Kilgore plays, moves, and barks like a Seahawk. Straight passion for football. His tape is a lot of fun. Plays everywhere. CB, Slot, FS, SS, LB. This is the type of athlete and versatility that screams Macdonald. Great in run support and solid in coverage. Was extremely productive in taking away the ball – 8 ints in his career. Picks usually translate to the NFL as a safety. Top top end speed. I have him in the 3rd round. Getting him in the late 2nd isn’t a far reach in my opinion. This is the upset of the mock. Not many are going to agree. I see what I see.

3rd Round: (#96)

• Selection: Hezekiah Masses - CB: (Cal): 6’1: 179 lbs: 31’’ ⅛ arms: 4.46 (40): 1.57 (Split): 31.5’’ (Vertical): 9’11 (Broad). Masses will be 24 by the start of the season. Again…hear me out on why Masses makes sense to the Seahawks. Many of us think Seattle is going CB in the 1st or 2nd rounds. What if they don’t? What if they don’t value their field-side CB that highly. Which CB fits this mold? In my opinion, a field-side CB has to have good eyes, knows how to drop in zone, knows how to peel off in zone. Masses does this. I went back to look at snaps of when he was a field-side CB at Cal. He showed a lot of instincts when he was in off-man. He shows a lot of ball-hawking abilities. He mirrors WRs really easily. What he needs to work on is not being too grabby. His press technique needs refining. His tackling technique needs to improve. I wonder if a full time move to be a field-side CB would help him. He doesn’t have to put his hands on dudes all of the time. He doesn’t have to press as much. He can bail or drop off. I think I want my field-side CB to be this way. You give him the chance to look at the QB. I’m not sure he’s stout or fast enough to be a boundary CB anyways. I don’t think I want him to cover the top dudes. I want him to sit in zones or match quarters. I want him to use his instincts. Masses might not be the selection but I think this is where I’m going. I’m looking for a particular CB to play field-side. I’m not convinced it has to be a first or even second round pick.

6th Round: (#21)

• Selection: Josh Cameron: WR: (Baylor): 6’1 ½: 220 lbs: 33’’ ⅛ arms: 10’’ ¼ hands. (40): (Split): (Vertical): (Broad). This is a shot in the dark. Cameron didn’t do any testing at the Combine. He is a thickly built WR that is a load to bring down. Cameron is physical at the line and brings that power element to the passing game. What I’m interested in is can you mold him into the Cooper Kupp role? Can you turn him into a run blocking machine? Can you put him in the slot and ask him to overpower nickels? He is a YAC monster waiting to happen. He doesn’t run elite routes yet. He can’t always separate on the outside. But…can you turn him into a slot demon? Color me intrigued with the potential.

Nice mock SP. I am pretty convinced we will trade back from #32 to the early-mid 2nd and pick up more picks. I like Price a lot from this draft class and I think he could slip to the early-mid 2nd but not much after that.

I can see it.

They can probably trade down and still net Price. Not many teams have a need at RB. They are mostly likely going to target a rotational RB.

For simplicity sake, I'm not doing trades. Price is a borderline 1st round talent. It's not because he's not worthy. He fits the mold of what the Hawks want.

I’m not sure why anyone would trade up for the pick though. Is some better going to be at 32 as opposed to 42 this year?

A team may want to move up to #32, if a player they rate highly at a position of need, falls to #32. We won't know until draft day, when #32 is on the clock, whom that player or players might be.

think... Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama.

 

[Ozzy]

I agree they may try to trade back but I think the past few years its been fairly tough to do so and in a draft that isn't very good it may be even harder. They may be forced to sit at 32 and take a guy.

 

[JayhawkMike]

But #32 has a 5th year option no? If so that is a selling point.

 

[ivotuk]

Up until recently, everybody knew JS loved to trade back, that's why he could never get a good offer and would settle for crap. So he stopped that, and started picking from the Seahawks original spot

 

[Kamcussionator]

I have seen any interviews with JS where he talks about where the shelfs are this year, but it’s conventional wisdom this is a week draft with only 15-20 “first rounders” available. So unless someone falls to us at 32 who could possibly start this year (unlikely) we could easily trade down and stay in that second shelf.

I would expect us to draft BPA, but DB depth — the kid from Toledo is like an Emmanwori lite and there are a bunch of CB that have boundary-level talent — and edge rusher — again talent but no starters, Joey Bosa could be a hedge if we need someone to rotate with Lawrence — would be preferred.

No bold predictions here other than I don’t expect us to draft a Woolen, Walker, Bryant, or Mafe replacements. We have a SB roster already, depth is our only concern.

 

[ivotuk]

Give me Jadarian Price Please After listening to Staton's most recent pod/video, and reading his article today (3/27/2026), I think Price would be a great replacement for K9, and being bigger, might give him some advantages over Walker. Especially with Shaheed being out there making the defense have to spread out, work deep.

We need a good RB. I watched some tape on the other guys after Price. Although I anlso like Johnson from Nebraska. But would prefer Price. And it’s not great. No one you want to go into next year with as RB1.

Washington is fast at the combine, but on tape he never flashes it.

Coleman disappeared anytime he faced a top 25 D. 3yrds and 24 yards vs Oregon in 2 games. 2 yds vs Wisconsin. In fact only 2
100 yard games last year,
And both against sub par competition

 

[Hawkinaz]

I am not on the Price bandwagon he is my RB4 behind Love, Washington and Singleton.

 

[Chevy]

Nice mock!

I keep going back and forth on Price as a prospect. I like him, but part of me feels like he benefited from having a very good offensive line. His running style reminds me of Shawn Alexander, smooth with amazing vision, he makes it looks easy. I took a look at next years top RBs and only found two that I like better than Price. So it's possible Price would be rated as the 3rd best RB next years draft, in what is considered a loaded draft class. That being said, I thought K9 and Charbs were much better RB prospects coming out of college than Price. Both K9 and Charbs were drafted in the 2nd round, so its hard getting on board drafting Price with a 1st round pick.

I like Kilgore with 2nd round pick. I would like for us to draft a DB than can play multiple positions and Kilgore is one of those players. If we were to draft him or a different DB that can play saftey and CB, then I don't think we would use another mid-round pick on CB. Kilgore is a player I can see being drafted somewhere at the top of the 2nd round.

Cameron in the 6th round would be a good selection. Our team is missing a bigger body WR, a big slot is kind of what we are missing in our WR room.

 

[CPHawk]

Washington is a weird one. In shorts he runs a 4.33 40. On the field though, there is no runs that he shows that kid of burst.

It didn't surprise me when he ran in the 4.3s. He looks fast on the field to me. He just doesn't' have the cat like quickness when working through line of scrimmage like K9 does.

 

[samwize77]

I was pretty high on Price, but the more I looked at other backs, the more I started to question myself. The thinking being that theres very very little difference between Price, Washington and Coleman. TBH Coleman is looking more and more like a Hawk to me. I didn't watch the Huskies much, but last couple of days I have been looking over RB's and Coleman just kind of stands out to me. If beating up defenses AND being able to slice and dice is what MM wants to do, Coleman is the man. Another thing is JS can trade back from 32 still pick up a decent DB/Edge somewhere mid 2nd AND get Coleman (or Washington) at the end of the 2nd, PLUS extra picks.
Just seems like a win/win to me IMHO.

Another Coleman plus is he NEVER fumbled during his time in college....good blocker...tough bast**d.

So, if drafting a RB is high on your list, getting Coleman at the end of the 2nd round allows us to trade back, get a good defensive player, get one of the best RB's, get more picks. If you're sold on Price, you might have to take him @ 32. And lose out on options and picks

Just thinking out loud

I really like Price. I wouldn't bat an eye if they picked him early.

However, after some time and even more digging. I'm starting to really do a 180 on Jonah Coleman. I'm going to dive into this for my final Mock in a couple of weeks before the draft.

Just a sneak peak. Price is no longer my favorite for the Seahawks. I have a red bull's eye on Coleman now.

I'm with you.

However, I have a different take on Jonah Coleman. People keep thinking he is a ground & pound RB. I don't think so. He might exactly be what the Seahawks are looking for.

More to come in the final Mock draft.

 

[ivotuk]

Somebody I was watching yesterday likened Jonah Coleman to Maurice Jones-Drew, not exactly like him, but similar. I watched so many videos and read so much, that I can't remember who.

I'm a fan of Emmett Johnson too. I'm no draft afficionado, but when I was watching him, Frank Gore's name popped in to my head.
