Hanich projects Seattle's updated safety and nickel depth charts after Bud Clark's injury, naming Julian Love and Ty Okada as starting safeties, A.J. Finley as Love's backup, and laying out a nickel pecking order with Devon Witherspoon first, Noah Igbinoghene third and Nehemiah Pritchett behind him. He also predicts roster outcomes for D'Anthony Bell, Rodney Thomas and Andre Fuller.2 graded calls · Aug 24, 2026
- Rodney Thomas to make the roster
  “Thomas is likely to make the 53-man roster based on his consistency through the training camp and preseason.”

Think this grade is wrong?

Hanich suggests Nick Emmanwori may miss Week 1 after ankle surgery, and that Noah Igbinoghene is making a strong case to be the Seahawks' Week 1 starting nickel, with Bud Clark also possibly stepping into a starting role if Emmanwori is out.2 graded calls · Aug 6, 2026

Noah Igbinoghene to be 1st on the depth chart

Bud Clark to be 1st on the depth chart
“There was a good chance he wasn’t going to be a Week 1 starter, but if Emmanwori is out, then Seattle might have Clark step up.”
