The Seattle Seahawks are already being framed as a team that keeps building the right way, and that approach carried into a fresh 2027 mock draft from Pro Football Sports Networks’ Ian Cummings.
Seattle has added notable names through free agency and trades in recent seasons, with quarterback Sam Darnold, wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed, and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence among the biggest arrivals. Even so, the roster still leans on the draft, and that showed this past offseason when the Seahawks stayed relatively quiet in free agency and instead filled holes with draft picks. Seahawks On SI’s Michael Hanich pointed to general manager Jon Schneider as proof that this is how to create sustainable depth.
Cummings’ latest three-round projection has Seattle staying on that path by attacking the offensive line first. In Round 1, he sends Ohio State guard/tackle Austin Siereveld to the Seahawks, with the 2027 draft slotting him as an upgrade at guard. Cummings noted that Seattle was “just getting by” with Anthony Bradford and suggested Siereveld’s best NFL future is inside, even though he plays tackle for the Buckeyes.
“For the Buckeyes, Siereveld plays tackle, but he projects best inside with his high-mass build, middling flexibility, and close-to-average length. He could feasibly provide OT insurance if Abraham Lucas were to go down, but his long-term future rests at guard,” Cummings wrote.
He added, “On the interior, Siereveld projects extremely well with his raw strength, power, and rotational torque on extensions. With that physical prowess and his dominating, almost spiteful physicality, he can overwhelm opponents in a phone booth.”
That kind of edge would fit a Seattle offense that wants to lean on physical play up front, and it would also help create room for running back Jadarian Price. Price is expected to be the clear RB1 to open the 2027 season, especially with Zach Charbonnet headed for free agency.
Cummings then shifts Seattle to the defensive side in Round 2, projecting the Seahawks to take Minnesota defensive end Anthony Smith with the 62nd overall pick. The 6-foot-6, 285-pound Smith is viewed as a fit for Mike Macdonald’s scheme and has the versatility to line up at defensive end or defensive tackle.
In Round 3, Cummings has Seattle addressing the backfield again by selecting Rutgers running back Antwan Raymond at No. 94. Raymond, listed at 5-foot-11 and 202 pounds, put together a breakout season in 2025 with 1,241 rushing yards and could give the Seahawks useful depth if Charbonnet departs.

Seahawks Camp Is Quietly Shaping Two Huge Week 1 Concerns
The early tone around Seahawks camp has been more encouraging than dramatic, which is exactly what a team with a lot of moving parts needs in late summer. Rashid Shaheeds development has been one of the brighter notes, and the arrival of new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury is helping preserve some continuity while the offense settles in. On the other side of the ball, Uchenna Nwosu, Derick Hall and Dante Fowler have all put together solid offseasons, and there is a real sense that younger defenders such as Byron Murphy II and Drake Thomas are positioned to take meaningful steps.
What makes the next few weeks interesting is how much of the roster still feels like it is being sorted out in real time. The secondary has opened up competition after recent departures, and rookies Bud Clark and Julian Neal are among the players trying to carve out roles. Seattle is also keeping a close eye on injured players like Zach Charbonnet, which adds another layer to a camp that has been productive without yet answering all of its biggest questions.

Seahawks Camp Is Already Revealing A Backfield Pecking Order
Training camp is already giving the Seahawks a clearer look at their backfield hierarchy, and the early competition is centered on Emmanuel Wilson, George Holani and Jadarian Price. With Seattle leaning into a running backs-by-committee approach, the first few practices have done more to sort out the top of the depth chart than to settle it, which is exactly why the battle at the position has become one of the more closely watched parts of camp.
The bigger question now is how the workload will be divided once the roster gets closer to full strength. Charbonnets return is still pending, and his presence could change the shape of the rotation just as the contenders for the RB1 and RB2 roles are trying to separate themselves. For now, the Seahawks are getting an early read on who can handle the most responsibility, even if the final answer is still waiting on another piece of the puzzle. [Read more 🡒]
Seahawks Cut Short Another Backfield Hope Fans Wanted To See
Kenny McIntoshs time with the Seahawks has been defined more by what never quite got off the ground than by any extended chance to prove himself. A 2023 seventh-round pick, he came into the league with some hope attached, but injuries kept interrupting the conversation, including a knee issue and an ACL tear that limited his playing time and slowed his progress.
Seattles backfield picture keeps moving without him, with Jadarian Price, George Holani, Emanuel Wilson and Zach Charbonnet in the mix when healthy. For a team that has spent the offseason sorting out depth behind its top options, McIntoshs absence is another reminder of how quickly the running back room can change, and how hard it can be for a young player to carve out a role before the next wave arrives.
