This is a developing story.
The Seahawks made a big move up on Day 2 of the NFL Draft, trading up to Pick No. 35 to select University of South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori.
In exchange for that pick, which was held by Tennessee, the Seahawks sent Pick No. 52 in the second round and Pick No. 82 in the third round to the Titans.
After making the pick, the Seahawks still hold Pick No. 50 in the second round and pick No. 92 in the third round, as well as five more picks on Day 3 of the draft.
Emmanwori, who is 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, gives the Seahawks a rare combination of size and athleticism, having run a 4.38-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine while posting a 43-inch vertical leap and an 11-foot, 6-inch broad jump.
And Emmanwori has the production to match those physical traits, having recorded a team-leading 88 tackles in 2024 as well as four interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns, and three tackles for loss. Emmanwori earned first-team Associated Press All-American honors last year, as well as first-team All-SEC honors.
