The Seattle Seahawks selected Arkansas cornerback Julian Neal with the 99th overall pick in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft after trading No. 96 to Pittsburgh for Nos. 99 and 216. Neal is a big, long, competitive outside cornerback whose raw athleticism and length project as a perimeter matchup piece following Riq Woolen's departure. Seattle slid back to recoup an extra pick while still landing a targeted secondary prospect to develop into a starter.
