There are 3 trends to John Schneider’s drafting that will help you sniff out the reasonable mocks from the ludicrous. History tells us what the Seattle Seahawks’ general manager will do with his first pick. The 47-year-old, GM in the Pacific Northwest for nine years, has clear tendencies when Seattle gets on the clock for their first selection. Let’s look at what he’s done previously:
- 2014: Paul Richardson, Wide Receiver, Round 2 Pick 13
Trend #1: Swing for the fences
Like when Schneider has traded the Seahawks’ first selection—for Harvin and Graham—he is always looking to get a player whose ceiling is cathedral-high.
