Trade for Duane Brown further thins Seahawks' 2018 draft

The Seattle Seahawks' pending acquisition of left tackle Duane Brown from the Houston Texans marks the ninth trade the team has made since April, excluding pick-for-pick swaps on draft day. In addition to reshaping Seattle's roster, the net result of all that wheeling and dealing is the Seahawks have a lot less 2018 draft capital than they did a few months ago.

By my count -- and that of longtime Seahawks writer Chris Cluff -- Seattle has seven selections. That's standard, but that total is heavily concentrated in the back half of the draft and doesn't include picks in Rounds 2 or 3.
