As the Seattle Seahawks prepare for the 2026 NFL Draft, they hold a unique position in the league by having never selected the No. 1 overall pick. This statistic places them in the company of only two other franchises: the Baltimore Ravens and the Denver Broncos. The Seahawks will be making their selection at the coveted No. 32 spot, which is traditionally reserved for the Super Bowl champion. This marks only the second time in franchise history that Seattle will pick at this position. Historically, the Seahawks have struggled to secure higher draft picks, with their best being No. 3 in 1997. In the 1993 NFL Draft, they opted for quarterback Rick Mirer over Drew Bledsoe, who became a four-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion. This unique draft history underscores the Seahawks' position in the league as they look forward to the upcoming draft.
