Schneider's Seahawks: Rebuild Cooking

0:00On April 29, John Schneider just wrapped his 17th draft as Seahawks GM, and he's proving why he's elite. After years sharing power with Pete Carroll, Schneider took full control in 2024 as president of football operations. In just two years, he led Seattle to their second Super Bowl under him, earning executive of the year in 2025. That success came with totally rebuilt rosters, putting him in rare air among NFL bosses. Beyond drafts, Schneider's big swings hit hard. He traded vets like Geno Smith, DK Metcalf, and Tyler Lockett to reset. Signing free agent Sam Darnold as quarterback paid huge dividends, and hiring Mike McDonald as head coach, locked in the vision. Meanwhile, his latest draft gym is Notre Dame running back, Jadarian Price, stepping up after Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker bolted to Kansas City. Biden still buzzed about Schneider's top picks over the years, even with Carroll's heavy hand early on. Buss-like Malik McDowell and L.J. Collier sit at the bottom, while studs like Devon

Price slots into a key role if Zack Sharbonne's knee slows him down. Players nail those high picks, but Price as a second rounder, projects mid-pack, maybe around Bruce Irvin or James Carpenter level. He's talented, entering a run-friendly offense behind a dominant D, but elite, juries out after sharing carries in college. Time will rank Price for real, but Schneider's track record says, expect solid production. Seahawks fans, this rebuilds cooking. Keep watching those carries pile up.
