Seahawks Draft TCU Safety Bud Clark
25 Apr
Summary
- Seattle selected TCU safety Bud Clark with the 64th pick.
- Clark was the seventh-ranked safety in Brugler's draft guide.
- The Seahawks addressed a key need after losing Coby Bryant.
The Seattle Seahawks continued to build their defense in the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting TCU safety Bud Clark with the 64th overall pick. This selection marks Seattle's second draft choice, following their earlier pick of running back Jadarian Price.
Clark, regarded as the seventh-best safety in the draft class, earned second-team All-Big 12 honors in his senior season at TCU. During his final collegiate year, he recorded 56 tackles, seven passes defensed, and four interceptions.
This move directly addresses a crucial need for the Seahawks in the safety position. The team experienced a significant loss when starting free safety Coby Bryant signed a substantial contract with the Chicago Bears in March, leaving a gap in their defensive backfield.
Clark's ability as a rangy field safety is anticipated to provide immediate impact. The Seahawks previously drafted safety Nick Emmanwori in the second round last year, and Marquise Blair in 2019, though both players transitioned to nickel roles.
