In a poll I put out on Twitter on Saturday with over 2,000 votes, 90% of respondents said that they think the Seahawks strategy to trade down each year is either good or not bad. That included 61% saying it was good at 29% saying that it was neither good nor bad. Only 10% said it was bad.
Since 2012, Seattle general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll have traded down or out of the first round entirely in each year:
- 2012, they traded down from 12 to 15 to take Bruce Irvin.
