The Seattle Seahawks<\/a> added a pair of game-ready defensive backs to their secondary on Day Two of the 2026 NFL draft. Seattle selected safety Bud Clark<\/a> with the final pick in the second round. Later, they traded back to the second-to-last pick in the third to select cornerback Julian Neal (while adding another sixth rounder in the process).<\/p>\n

Shortly after being selected, both Clark and Neal shared videos to the Seahawks, who then posted them on their social media accounts. To say these two are excited to contribute to the best defense in the NFL would be quite the understatement. Their reactions can be seen in the two posts below.<\/p>\n

And why wouldn’t they be!? These two are direct replacement picks for Coby Bryant<\/a> and Riq Woolen<\/a>, who departed from the Pacific Northwest in free agency earlier this offseason. Seattle took two players ready to fill in once the title defense campaign of 2026 rolls around this fall.<\/p>\n
