WE are just two weeks away from the 2026 NFL Draft. So we will be analyzing every team’s needs, division by division. Today we are looking at the NFC West, which was led by the Seattle Seahawks in the 2025-2026 season.
ARIZONA CARDINALS-
The Arizona Cardinals made a big decision this off-season and have moved on from Kyler Murray after seven years with him at the quarterback spot. The number three draft pick should be used to find his replacement, although whether one is still on the board might ruin their plans. and that should be followed by edge defenders, and a key right-tackle to help the new QB.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS-
The 49ers need some long-term depth on the offensive line. Spencer Burford has left this offseason, and both Trent Williams and Jake Brendel are deep into their 30s. At 27 the 49ers need to find their successors. Similarly, some depth at pass rushing would be ideal. After the injury of Nick Bosa last season, the 49ers had the lowest amount of sacks in the NFL. Getting some depth is a need if San Francisco wants to be a true Superbowl contender.
LOS ANGELES RAMS-
The Los Angeles Rams have the 13 spot in the draft which originally was owned by the Atlanta Falcons. The Rams don’t have any glaring holes that need to be filled, but finding some long term options is probably the best way to go. Davante Adams is aging and in the final year of his contract, if the Rams can find his replacement now and use Adams to help him develop then that would be a great bit of business. Also finding a replacement for Rob Havenstein at right tackle could be a good move if someone falls to this spot that they see as a long term option at the position.
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS-
The Superbowl champions come into the 2026 draft with no glaring needs. The superbowl MVP Kenneth Walker III has departed to the Kansas City Chiefs and Zach Charbonnet is recovering from injury, so getting an option at running back might be the best choice at 32. On defense, the Seahawks lost a few names in the secondary, so finding some depth would be ideal, definitely not a top priority.
