John Schneider confirms Seahawks tried to trade 56th pick but deal fell apart

You’re probably wondering why the Seattle Seahawks unexpectedly stayed at 56th overall on Friday night when they have just three picks and that was clearly the pick to use for trading down. Well Seattle tried, it just didn’t happen.

John Schneider says they had a trade in place to move back but it fell apart late. They were also sort of afraid to lose "their guy" if they moved back. So, they took D'Wayne.

Now if you’re so minded, you can believe that the team the Seahawks were afraid of losing D’Wayne Eskridge to was the Los Angeles Rams.
