With Julian Love entering his 30s and coming off an injury-plagued season, questions at free safety, and limited proven depth behind the starters, Seattle’s back end needs reinforcements. In this video, we break down: The current state of the Seahawks safety room (Love, Ty Okada, Nick Emmanwori, A.J. Finley, Rodney Thomas II & more) Why depth and long-term reliability at safety is a bigger priority than many realize The top safety prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class (Caleb Downs, Dillon Thieneman, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, A.J. Haulcy & others) How Mike Macdonald’s defense could benefit from a versatile, high-IQ safety addition Realistic draft targets for Seattle with their limited picks Even as defending Super Bowl champions, the Hawks can’t afford to stand still. Is safety truly their most pressing need, or are edge and corner bigger concerns? Let us know in the comments! Drop a LIKE if you’re a 12 and want Seattle to load up on defensive backs again!

In this breakdown, we dive deep into the top edge rushers projected to be selected in the first four rounds. We evaluate which prospects best match the versatile, disciplined, and scheme-flexible traits that define a Mike Macdonald edge — strong run defenders who can set the edge, rush the passer with multiple moves, and thrive in a multiple-front system with heavy disguises and smart pressures. From high-upside athletes to pro-ready pocket collapsers, we analyze film, athletic testing, production, and scheme fit for the Seattle Seahawks and any team running a similar modern defensive structure.
