Seattle doesn’t have any picks in the second or third rounds — which makes you think Pete Carroll and John Schneider will want to deal their No. 18 pick. This isn’t the time to dodge the first round, however.
If you write about the Seahawks, your fingers typically get a break on the first day of the NFL draft. No scrambling to uncover details. No instant analysis or evaluation. No frenzied rush to beat deadline because, well, they rarely pick anyone that Thursday.
Since 2013, only once have the Seahawks drafted a player in the first round, and that was still after they traded down to get Germain Ifedi with the 31st pick.
