Will the Seahawks trade away players to add draft picks?

The start of the 2019 NFL Draft is just hours away on Thursday night, and on Tuesday the Seattle Seahawks added to their arsenal of draft picks by dealing Frank Clark to the Kansas City Chiefs for an extra first round pick this year and a 2020 second round pick. However, as of writing the Hawks sit with just five picks, tied with the Chicago Bears for the lowest number of selections in the draft this year.

Obviously it’s not unreasonable to anticipate that the team may trade down with one, or possibly both, of the first round picks it holds on Thursday, however, the possibility remains that the team could also add picks by trading away players.
