RENTON – John Schneider gave a shy grin and deflected the question. A reporter wondered last week how the Seahawks must respond to being a model franchise and potential copycat victim in the NFL draft.
The general manager chose not to loiter in the praise.
“I think that’s really nice of you to say,” Schneider said, “but I don’t think about it that way.”
How does he think about it? Like every draft is its own beast. And the Seahawks, despite their success the past three seasons, are always starving to acquire more talent.
They may be considered on the cutting edge, but that just increases the odds of getting gashed.
