The Seattle Seahawks could go in a couple different directions with their first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. They don’t have a lot of roster needs, and a trade back scenario is on the table to acquire more picks.
But if the Seahawks stay at No. 32 overall, addressing what few roster holes the team has makes sense. While Seattle could afford a luxury pick, the organization only has four selections in the 2026 NFL Draft.
At No. 32, though, Fansided’s 12th Man Rising’s Ernesto Cova argued the Seahawks have a great chance to find value and fill a need. That’s because Cova fully expects South Carolina cornerback Brandon Cisse to be available.
On Saturday, Cova explained why.
“All 31 teams might just lay the red carpet for the defending champions to march and get the guy they want,” wrote Cova. “That’s why, according to FanSided’s NFL draft big board, no other team has Cisse among their top five targets.”
ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. ranked Cisse the No. 4-best cornerback in the 2026 NFL Draft class. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein raved about his ceiling at the next level.
“Teams will be willing to take a chance on Cisse’s explosive athleticism and upside, but a refinement runway might be needed to smooth some of the rougher edges,” wrote Zierlein. “He’s scheme-versatile in coverage and is an A-rated run supporter.
“Cisse’s traits and competitiveness are clear selling points. But a lack of on-ball production and coverage consistency create a more volatile floor.”
