Seahawks' Schneider: Drafting Game-Changers

While rivals like the 49ers and Rams stumbled, he skipped over high pass rushers and tight ends that look may on paper, instead grabbing game changers who delivered in big moments, including Super Bowl Heroics. In 2023, passing on Tyree Wilson at number five was genius dude, got traded for scraps later, while Devon Witherspoon became THE. Defense's nightmare fuel right away.

Fans and analysts couldn't believe how those moves paid off, especially as traded stars like Geno Smith, Cratered and DK.

Before packaging picks to jump to 35 for safety, Nick, MNW, who's now the gold standard prospects get compared to. Looking ahead to 2026, keep an eye on unknown corner bud Clark.
