Seahawks 2024 mock draft: Post-free agency 7-round projections

As the Seahawks look to truly turn the corner in 2025, they might consider making cornerback the foundation on which they build their new empire. Last season this team had one of the deepest cornerback rooms in the NFL. Devon Witherspoon, Riq Woolen and Tre Brown are projected to start, but adding another first-rounder to the mix would indisputably give them the most-talented unit in football.

Alabama’s Terrion Arnold is either CB1 in this class or 1b depending on your opinion of Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell, who was picked just before we were on the clock at 16. Arnold (6-foot-0, 196 pounds) graded out well in coverage (84.9) and run defense (90.6), which will be a pre-requisite for any defender coming in this year no matter the position.

In 25 games at Alabama, Arnold totaled six interceptions, 20 pass breakups and 108 tackles (7.5 for a loss). Like Witherspoon, he can play the boundary or the slot. Observe.
