The Seahawks did it again.
They just about had to.
Seattle made a trade involving its first-round pick for the seventh consecutive year on Thursday. General manager John Schneider made a deal with his former employers in Green Bay to move down from the 18th pick in the NFL draft to the 27th, and Seattle also gained a third-round choice it was missing and a sixth-round pick it also did not have entering Thursday.
The official deal: Seattle traded the 18th pick plus a seventh-round selection (248 overall) to Green Bay for the 27th pick in round one, a thirrd-round choice (76) and sixth-round pick (186).
