Seattle Seahawks NFL Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

Seeking to replace first-round edge rushers Rueben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor, the Hurricanes lured Wilson from Missouri, where he registered a career-high nine sacks a year ago. Originally at Georgia, Wilson is both well-traveled and legitimately talented, boasting terrific burst and bend off the edge.

Long-armed, big and strong, Rhodes would be another tool to tinker with Mike Macdonald's high octane defensive engine.

Marsh transferred from Michigan State where he was targeted 102 times in 2025. At 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, he looks like the natural replacement for Elijah Sarratt (and like Sarratt, he lined up outside about 95% of the time). Despite his size, Marsh can put his foot in the ground and get in and out of breaks, creating separation at the route stem. Like Sarratt, he won't consistently create separation on vertical routes, but he has legit contested-catch and YAC ability, and he uses his frame to shield defenders.

Pierre was a breakout star last season, finishing with eight sacks. His impact went beyond pressuring quarterbacks, though, as he also forced three fumbles last season. He's capable of standing up as a 3-4 outside linebacker and playing with his hand in the dirt. He's a scheme-versatile defender, which would make him a great match with Mike Macdonald's defense in Seattle, especially considering Boye Mafe's departure and DeMarcus Lawrence's age.

NFL teams focused on the Clemson defensive line last season to watch Peter Woods and T.J. Parker, but Heldt (a Purdue transfer) was the most consistent disruptor on the Tigers' front.

Outside of the top three pass rushers, Pierre profiles as one of the more intriguing edge defenders in the class. A former five-star, he showed flashes of high-level play with eight sacks as a sophomore while demonstrating the versatility to line up both on and off the ball.

The Seahawks have several expiring contracts on the defensive line to address. Echoles led all Power Four interior defensive linemen in pressures and defensive stops last season, despite being initially recruited as an offensive lineman.
