Seahawks Trade Back in Draft, Stack Value

0:00On April 20th, the Seattle Seahawks sit at the 32nd spot, the very last pick in the first round of the NFL draft kicking off Thursday night. But their general manager, John Schneider, is straight up saying they planned to trade back and grab more selections instead of jumping right in. They already hold four picks heading into the draft, and Schneider knows that final first round slot draws a crowd. Teams love packaging it with extra assets to build deeper rosters. Fans and analysts see this as classic Seahawks strategy, stacking value over a single high upside player. That fifth year option on first rounders makes the 32nd pick a sweet deal for trade partners looking long-term. No big surprises here, as Schneider expects offers to roll in quick. With the draft spilling into Friday, watch for Seattle to wheel and deal before they finally select. This move could reshape their lineup for years, keeping the Hawks in contention while they hunt for that perfect value. NFL News Today, powered by AI bringing you what matters on Game Day.
