The NFL draft is set to begin with the first round on April 25.
But a Seahawks fan can hardly be blamed for responding “no, it’ll really start for us on April 26.’’
We all know the drill by now — the Seahawks like to trade down to accumulate more picks — they haven’t used their original first-round pick since 2011, when they selected James Carpenter at 25th overall.
That history makes trying to figure out what the Seahawks might do in any draft especially challenging, if not an exercise in futility.
But with the draft now just a little over three weeks away — and now that we are through the major part of free agency — it’s as good of a time as any to take our annual shot in the dark at guessing what the Seahawks might do.
