It’s been awhile since the Seattle Seahawks traded down in the first round of the NFL Draft. They’ve had opportunities in 2020, 2022, and 2023 and opted to stay put, a noticeable change from the six consecutive drafts in which they had a first-round pick and eventually traded down. There has been much speculation that this year could mark a return to the previous philosophy, particularly with the lack of a second-round pick.
Out of curiosity, I went over every draft under John Schneider to see the results of the Seahawks’ first-round trade downs.
