Seahawks linked to local 6-foot-4, 209-pound wide receiver with first-round draft pick

This offseason, the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks will be looking to improve the team to try and repeat, and do what they could not a decade ago in 2014 and 2015.

While there will be a lot of question marks on the defensive side of the ball at nearly every position, the Seahawks cannot ignore the offense. More interior offensive line help would be nice, but an underrated need is at the wide receiver position.

Jaxon Smith-Nijgba is incredible, but after him, the Seahawks don't have a lot of long-term viable options. That's why ESPN's Matt Miller is linking the Seahawks to a prospect who's from the Seattle area in 6-foot-4, 209-pound Washington WR Denzel Boston.

"Should the board be wiped out of cornerbacks, the Seahawks could address the WR2 spot with Denzel Boston from nearby Washington," Miller writes.

While cornerback might be the top need for Seattle, and interior offensive line might be a more pressing need, the Seahawks could elect to improve the supporting cast of Sam Darnold with another wide receiver in Boston.

The Washington Huskies wide receiver prospect is a big receiver, coming in at 6-foot-4, 209 pounds. Boston is coming off a strong season for Washington in 2025.

He hauled in 62 receptions for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns. Boston, in 2024, had a very similar season with 62 receptions for 834 yards and nine touchdowns.

He's destined for the NFL Draft and very likely will be a first-round draft pick. He might not make it to the 32nd pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but if he makes it there and the Seahawks take him, he'd be a great addition.

Pairing him up with a smaller JSN could make for a great dynamic wide receiver duo. Even if Rashid Shaheed returns, and Cooper Kupp decides to re-sign, Boston would still be a nice addition.

Jake Bobo isn't good enough to stop the Seahawks from taking a WR, and Tory Horton, while showing some flash, also shouldn't stop the Seahawks from landing a potential superstar in Boston.
