Death, taxes and the Seahawks trading their first-round pick.
For the eighth straight year, the Seahawks dealt their first pick in the 2019 draft Thursday to Green Bay, getting the Packers’ pick at No. 30 and picking up two fourth-round selections — 114 and 118 — in the process.
That means Seattle has either traded its first-round pick for another player, or for more picks, in every draft since 2011 when they used their original first-round pick on offensive lineman James Carpenter at 25.
The trade means Seattle now has seven picks — 29, 30, 92, 114, 118, 124 and 159 — after having entered the week with just four.
