Seahawks monitor 2027 draft prospects as they maintain significant capital
Summary

The Seattle Seahawks enter the 2026 college football season with 11 projected selections in the 2027 NFL Draft. General manager John Schneider holds substantial draft capital despite recent trades involving picks for Beau Stephens and Avery Smith. While the team currently relies on starter Sam Darnold and developer Jalen Milroe at quarterback, the impending free agency of Drew Lock keeps the position on the radar for long-term planning. Evaluators are currently monitoring collegiate quarterbacks including Dante Moore of Oregon and Arch Manning of Texas. Seattle’s final approach to the draft will depend on the performance of the current roster throughout the 2026 season. The organization retains the flexibility to move up in the draft order should a high-priority need arise at quarterback.
