Fox Sports's Rob Rang proposed the Seattle Seahawks receiver edge rusher Tyree Wilson in a trade back out of the first round in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Few NFL general managers have mastered moving back to acquire more draft capital like Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider. The two-time Super Bowl-winning executive might have no choice but to orchestrate trades back in the 2026 NFL Draft. With only four selections as of April 3, the Seahawks could use more selections.
This week, Fox Sports’s Rob Rang proposed a scenario that fits that mold.
In a new 2026 NFL mock draft, Rang pitched a trade where the Seahawks moved back from No. 32 overall to 36 in the second round. At No. 36, Rang projected Seattle to grab Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price.
The draft analyst didn’t explain the full terms of the trade. But Rang did mention that former No. 7 overall pick and edge rusher Tyree Wilson would go to Seattle in the deal.
“The Seahawks are Super Bowl champions, but with a league-low four draft picks, winning this year’s draft is going to be nearly impossible,” Rang wrote. “Adding a back with a skill set well-suited to their wide zone running scheme would be a good start, however, especially if in doing so, Seattle also received veteran edge rusher Tyree Wilson.”
Essentially, the trade would help fill two potential holes for the Seahawks — edge rusher and running back.
What Tyree Wilson Could Bring to Seahawks
Wilson arrived as a raw but very talent edge rusher for the Raiders at No. 7 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. But he has yet to realize his full potential in Las Vegas.
He has just 12 sacks with 16 tackles for loss and 24 quarterback hits over 50 games in three seasons. Last season, he had four sacks with eight tackles for loss in 17 contests.
Wilson played in all 17 games for Las Vegas.
According to the Pro Football Focus player grades, Wilson regressed in 2025, particularly in run defense, where he showed improvement during 2024. In all three of his seasons, he’s struggled mightily as a tackler, and Wilson hasn’t been the elite pass rusher as expected.
But he turns just 26 years old in May. In the right system with the proper support, Wilson could still have the potential to be a starter.
“Long-limbed defender who figures to turn into a full-blown nightmare for opponents if he continues to grow into both his frame and his game,” wrote NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein during Wilson’s 2023 draft class. “Wilson’s combination of traits and athleticism should yield flashes of dominant play in both phases as he continues to get bigger and stronger.
“He might not set the world on fire in Year 1, but the talent and vaulted ceiling will be easy to see soon enough.”
He will be a reclamation project at his next stop. But he’s the type of risk the Seahawks can afford to make after winning the Super Bowl and with that the defense has coming back.
Why the Seahawks May Target Notre Dame’s Jadarian Price
The best part about Rang’s hypothetical deal is the Seahawks filled two holes with one draft pick.
After moving back four spots in the NFL Draft, the Seahawks grabbed Price at No. 36 in the Fox Sports mock draft.
Zierlein argued Price doesn’t have the same upside as his college teammate Jeremiyah Love. But Price could carve out a specific role at the NFL level quickly.
“Price is a more natural runner than his heralded teammate, Jeremiyah Love, but Price lacks Love’s pure explosiveness and pass-catching talent,” wrote Zierlein. “Price is highly instinctive, stacking moves to contour to run-lane spacing and avoid tacklers for as long as possible.
“Limited third-down value could cap his draft slotting, but his talent as a runner should make him an excellent complementary back.”
The Seahawks already have seven running backs on their offseason roster. None of them have been a workhorse NFL back, but Schneider and head coach Mike Macdonald have spoken highly of the group this offseason.
For that reason, it might make most sense for the Seahawks to simply add a rookie running back with specific traits to fill one role.
Price appears to have the tools to be a complementary back to Zach Charbonnett and/or Emanuel Wilson in Seattle.
