The Seahawks Own Pick 32 and John Schneider Is Already Shopping It

The Super Bowl champs are sitting on the last pick of the first round, and our GM is not about to waste it. John Schneider made it crystal clear this week: Seattle is actively looking to move down, trade back, and stockpile more picks. This is classic Schneider. Why sit tight with four selections when you could turn them into six or seven?

What the Seahawks Actually Have to Work With

Let's lay out the arsenal. Seattle holds the No. 32 pick in the first round (that's the automatic last spot for Super Bowl winners), the No. 64 pick in the second round, the No. 96 pick in the third round, and a sixth-round selection at No. 188 (acquired from Cleveland). Four total picks. Schneider has made it known that every single one of them, including that second and third-rounder, is on the table if it means moving back and adding draft capital.

The man has earned the right to be aggressive here. Since Pete Carroll left, Schneider's moves have been nearly flawless: he moved on from Geno Smith and DK Metcalf, brought in Ernest Jones IV, signed Sam Darnold, and has nailed recent draft picks like Grey Zabel and Nick Emmanwori. Two Super Bowls in his tenure. Three NFC championships. He's Hall of Fame material, and everyone knows it.

Where the Needs Actually Are

If the Seahawks do hold at 32, Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price is getting a lot of mock draft love. But the real needs? Safety, cornerback, and rush end are all in play as Seattle tries to capitalize on this championship window. The roster is loaded, but depth matters. Especially at those positions.

The Draft Schedule

First round kicks off Thursday night at 5 p.m. PT. Second and third rounds hit Friday at 4 p.m. PT. Rounds four through seven start Saturday at 9 a.m. PT. You can catch it all on ABC, ESPN, NFL Network, ESPN Deportes, ESPN Unlimited, Disney Plus, NFL+, or ESPN Radio.

Schneider's been through this dance before. Watch for movement early. This could get creative fast.
