Nick Baumgardner, The Athletic
Pick: Cashius Howell, Edge, Texas A&M
"This might be too early for RB2, but if Seattle falls in love with a playmaker such as Notre Dame's Jadarian Price and wants to pull the trigger, it would not be a shock. In this mock, though, they add Howell. Despite some size concerns, he is all gas off the edge and could be a terror on third down."
Garrett Podell, CBS Sports
Pick: Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson
"Coach Mike Macdonald needs to restock his "Dark Side" defense with Tariq Woolen and Coby Bryant leaving in free agency. Avieon Terrell is one of the best turnover machines at the cornerback position in this draft class. He set Clemson records for a defensive back in forced fumbles in a season (five) and a career (eight from 2023-2025), and that will certainly play in Seattle."
Pete Schrager, ESPN
Pick: Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame
"Believe it or not, Notre Dame has never had two running backs selected in the first round of the same NFL draft. In fact, only four running back tandems from the same school have ever been selected in the first round in the same year. But Price is the No. 2 running back in this class and would provide some nice pop to the Seattle offense after the departure of Kenneth Walker III via free agency. He had only 113 carries last season but turned them into 674 yards and 11 scores."

Pick: T.J. Parker, Edge, Clemson
**"**Seattle drafts T.J. Parker as the Boye Mafe replacement. Mafe signed a lucrative deal with the Bengals in free agency. Parker is a reliable edge setter with limited pass rush potential, but Mike Macdonald can put him in a position to produce. Seattle is also a candidate to trade back given they only have four picks. The objective should be filling positions lost in free agency, such as cornerback, edge rusher and running back."

Pick: Cashius Howell, Edge, Texas A&M
**"**The Super Bowl champs can afford to take some risk with players who possess some outlier traits like Howell, who produced 27 sacks in his collegiate career but has a smaller frame and sub-31-inch arm length."
