The first round of our 2026 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft concludes, and the reigning Super Bowl champions are on the clock. With the 32nd and final pick of the opening round, the Seattle Seahawks have made their move.

In this unique community-driven mock, where dedicated fans step into the GM role, commenter JJ2672 is calling the shots for Seattle. The wait to pick is a luxury earned by a championship team, and the Seahawks' selection aims to keep that championship window wide open.

With the 32nd overall pick, the Seattle Seahawks select Brandon Cisse, a dynamic cornerback from the University of South Carolina.

For a franchise built on the legacy of the "Legion of Boom," reinforcing the secondary is always a priority. Cisse brings the exact blend of elite athleticism and competitive fire that fits the Seahawks' defensive identity. His unofficial RAS (Relative Athletic Score) is through the roof, highlighted by a blazing 4.40-second 40-yard dash, a 41-inch vertical leap, and a nearly 11-foot broad jump. This is the profile of a player who can match up with the NFL's fastest receivers.

Beyond the measurables, Cisse plays with a physical, press-man style that will resonate with Seattle's defensive philosophy. An intriguing connection exists already: Cisse attended the NFC Championship Game as a guest of current Seahawks safety and fellow South Carolina alum Nick Emmanwori, suggesting instant chemistry in the defensive backfield.

For the champs, this pick is about staying ahead of the curve. Adding a high-upside athlete like Brandon Cisse ensures the Seahawks' defense remains a formidable force, ready to battle the high-powered offenses of the NFC West and beyond.
