The Seattle Seahawks already had a good defense in 2024. The team made a concerted effort to try to bring every important player from last season back this past offseason, too. Why mess with a good thing?
Even better, why not add a tremendous disruptor in the draft? Seattle did just that by moving up to pick 35 in the 2025 NFL draft and choosing safety Nick Emmanwori out of South Carolina. He was expected to be a Swiss Army knife of a defensive back who could play safety as well as cornerback.
Heck, maybe he could even be an edge rusher if needed, too.
