Seahawks Target ACL-Injured CB Jermod McCoy in Mock Draft
9 Jan
Summary
- Seahawks projected to draft Tennessee CB Jermod McCoy at No. 32.
- McCoy is an elite prospect recovering from a January ACL injury.
- Cornerback depth is a concern for Seahawks with expiring contracts.
As the Seattle Seahawks enjoy a first-round bye, attention turns to potential future roster moves. The latest 2026 NFL mock draft from The Draft Network projects the Seahawks to select Tennessee Volunteers cornerback Jermod McCoy with the 32nd overall pick. McCoy is a highly-rated prospect who missed the 2025 season due to a torn ACL suffered in January.
Analyst Keith Sanchez highlighted the Seahawks' need for additional talent at the cornerback position, even while acknowledging the team's overall strength. The potential addition of McCoy would bolster the secondary, particularly if key cornerbacks like Riq Woolen and Josh Jobe are not re-signed as their contracts expire.
McCoy, now a year removed from his injury, is considered a top-15 talent in this draft class. However, his medical status could lead to a draft-day slide. The Seahawks' strategic bye week allows for thorough evaluation of prospects like McCoy, potentially filling a critical need with high-upside talent.
