Seattle

Seahawks

Akers logged just nine snaps for the Seahawks in 2025, per PFF, and did not garner a touch. The veteran running back has become a journeyman in the league since being traded from the Rams to the Vikings in 2023. Akers has made multiple stops to other teams over that span, including returning to the Vikings in both 2024 and 2025. He’ll turn 27 this offseason and could land somewhere with a chance to compete for a roster spot this offseason, but his days as a viable fantasy option continue to appear long over.

Rowser spent one season at Campbell before transferring to New Mexico State. He then headed to Arizona State, where he spent his final two college seasons. The Seahawks possess one of the league’s best safety units, even with Coby Bryant departing for the Bears in free agency. They drafted TCU S Bud Clark in the second round and are still looking for more end-of-roster players. PFF credits Rowser with four forced incompletions, 70 solo tackles, 10 TFLs and three quarterback pressures last year.

Shuler, 23, racked up 206 solo tackles, 29 TFLs, six forced incompletions, three interceptions, 46 quarterback pressures and nine sacks as a four-year college player and three-year starter at USF. He lined up as a box defender on a vast majority of snaps, though he lined up at times over the slot and as an outside linebacker as well. A decent showing could get him the chance to compete for a practice squad spot.

Hubbard (6’4"/260) was a stalwart for the Northwestern defense over the last three seasons, and he was able to procure 7.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss. He didn’t run at the combine while still recovering from a foot injury that limited him at the end of the year, but he’s viewed as a quality athlete with solid burst, and he gets quality reviews for his effort. If there’s a knock on Hubbard, it’s that he isn’t viewed as the strongest player and can get knocked back by bigger lineman; something he’ll obviously see more of at the highest level. He’ll likely to show the ability to play special teams while hopefully developing into a potential situational rusher in the coming years.

Dansby spent three seasons at San Jose State before transferring to Arizona in 2025. PFF credits him with nine forced incompletions, two interceptions and 18 solo tackles last year. He stands 6'/185 and did not test at Arizona’s Pro Day. He is the third cornerback drafted by the Seahawks this year.

Eastern (6’5/315) brings a prototypical interior frame that is bolstered by a decent 6.96 RAS, pairing elite size/length with enough baseline explosiveness to project as a rotational NFL interior presence. He logged 41 tackles with 10 havoc plays, 7.5 TFL and 2.5 sacks in 2025 while generating 11 pressures on 247 pass-rush snaps (4.5 percent pressure rate), illustrating modest but functional disruption from the interior. Eastern’s 97.6 percent run-stop participation and 91.1 percent tackle rate highlight a high-floor run defender who consistently finds the ball and finishes when in position. He wins with length and hand extension, locking out blockers to keep his chest clean while flashing the ability to compress pockets with raw power when his timing is right. However, his high pad level and inconsistent leverage limit his ability to anchor or consistently control gaps, while stiffness and average range reduce his playmaking radius. Eastern projects best as an early-down 1-tech/3-tech hybrid who can absorb contact, occupy space and provide secondary pocket push rather than primary pass-rush production. His NFL ceiling will depend on improving pad level consistency and hand usage to convert his size and length into more reliable trench control.

Fuller (6’1/200) lost his freshman season at Arkansas-Pine Bluff to the COVID-19 pandemic outside of a few spring games. He took over as a starter in 2021 before transferring to Toledo. Fuller would serve as a backup for two seasons before missing his senior season because of a core muscle injury. Back on track in 2025, Fuller stepped up with 11 pass breakups and one interception while earning First-Team All-MAC honors. Fuller is a rangy press corner who has no issues getting dirty in the run game. Pro Football Focus graded him as a top-10 run-defending corner in 2025. He doesn’t have great recovery speed and played alongside multiple NFL defensive backs at Toledo, meaning his unit was never outmatched by opposing wide receiver rooms. His path to playing time as a rookie could come on special teams. Fuller logged over 300 special teams snaps at Toledo alone.

Smack (6’1/188) operated as a kickoff specialist in his freshman season and entered his sophomore campaign in the same role. He eventually took over as the Seminoles’ kicker after the starter was benched early in the year. Smack held onto the gig through 2025 and ended his career at 53-of-60 on field goal tries and 100-of-101 on PATs. Smack doesn’t have a cannon, but he brings enough power to the table to consistently hit on his long shots. He put a bow on his draft profile by going 3-of-3 on field goal tries at the Shrine Bowl, including a 57-yarder to close the first half. Smack will compete with Lucas Havrisik and Brandon McManus for the Packers’ kicking job this summer.

Henderson (6’1”/185) is an undersized receiver who finally earned a meaningful role in his fourth collegiate season after transferring to Kansas in 2025. A former four-star recruit who originally committed to Alabama as a running back in 2022, Henderson never logged a rush attempt while with the Tide and eventually switched to receiver. In his lone season with the Jayhawks he totaled 45 receptions for 766 yards and five touchdowns while averaging 17.0 YPR and a 15 ADOT. He displayed an impressive ability to create after the catch, averaging a 7.0 yards after the catch per reception. He flashed as a return man throughout his college career, returning 25 kicks for 570 yards and one touchdown, and can also contribute on the punt coverage team.

Stephens (6’6"/315) is a technically polished, zone-scheme interior lineman whose consistency and production give him a reasonably high floor. Stephens delivered an outstanding 2025 campaign with a 91.6 PFF pass-block grade, 83.0 run-block grade, and 99.3 percent pass-block efficiency, allowing just 4 pressures and 0 sacks on 304 pass-blocking snaps. He wins with timing, balance, and hand placement, showing quickness out of his stance and an advanced feel for angles while consistently locating targets on pulls and combo blocks. Stephens has logged extensive experience at both guard spots and plays with a steady, assignment-sound approach, committing just two penalties over the last two seasons, reinforcing his clean, dependable profile. His athletic profile (7.74 RAS) is solid but not elite, and his 31 3/4” arms and average play strength can show up when asked to sustain blocks or handle longer interior defenders. With advanced pass-pro skills and a veteran work ethic, Stephens projects as a zone scheme guard with early rotational value and a path to starting snaps in the right system.
