One month from now, the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks will be on the clock in the 2026 NFL Draft. With only four picks (at least for the time being), there may not be as much intrigue as we\u2019ve seen in previous Seahawks drafts, but it\u2019s still going to be interesting to see what Seattle does picking at the bottom of the order again.<\/p>\n
Over the next few weeks the pre-draft visit reports will pile up, and the early theme for the Seahawks appears to be in the secondary. The latest report from Ryan Fowler is that the Seahawks will meet with former LSU safety A.J. Haulcy.<\/p>\n
Listed at 6\u20190, and 215 pounds, Haulcy is a very accomplished draft prospect who\u2019s played at three schools. He was first-team All-American and SEC at LSU, first-team All-Big 12 at Houston, and second-team All-Mountain West as a freshman at New Mexico. Not bad for someone who was not a five-star recruit out of high school. Over four seasons he played 12 games apiece and racked up 10 interceptions and 19 passes defensed, as well as 4.5 tackles for loss.<\/p>\n
At the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Haulcy ran a 4.52-second 40-yard dash with a 1.62 split, but otherwise didn\u2019t participate in any other drills. He\u2019s not a speedster, but he is one of the bigger safeties in this class in terms of weight.<\/p>\n
Haulcy, aka Mr. Give Me That, is a throwback safety with a compact, densely muscled frame and a pro feel for reading the field. He\u2019s a rare blend of ballhawk and enforcer who can scurry into passing lanes for takeaways or run through a receiver to break up a pass. His pattern recognition and instincts are top-notch and he\u2019s decisive in his reactions. A lack of sustained top-end speed could create mismatches in man coverage. He\u2019s more effective playing forward than he is at guarding large spaces in deeper coverages. He\u2019s rock-steady as a finisher but sees the missed tackle total tick higher as an open-field tackler. Haulcy\u2019s frame and game are pro-ready, though. He projects as a good NFL starter in a zone-heavy scheme.<\/p>\n
The other reported Seahawks pre-draft 30 visits include cornerbacks Andre Fuller (Toledo), Chris Johnson (San Diego State), Daylen Everette (Georgia), and Jalon Kilgore (South Carolina), as well as Kennesaw State running back Coleman Bennett. Washington Huskies star Jonah Coleman also visited the Seahawks but counts as a local visit. We will have a draft visits tracker coming later this week to get you all geared up for what\u2019s to come in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One month from now, the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks will be on the clock in the 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":831661,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[7,6,15,59395,89684,718,719],"class_list":{"0":"post-831660","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl-draft","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-nfl-draft","11":"tag-seattle-seahawks-draft","12":"tag-seattle-seahawks-mock-draft","13":"tag-seattle-seahawks-news","14":"tag-seattle-seahawks-offseason-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116286181286180790","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/831660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=831660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/831660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/831661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=831660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=831660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=831660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
