Shoppers, as much as scouts.
That’s what all teams are at every NFL combine. And theirs is always a buyer’s market. Each year they have more prospects to evaluate than there are spots in the draft (this year its 336 combine invitees, 254 draft spots).
But the Seahawks enter this week’s league scouting extravaganza at Lucas Oil Stadium and the Indiana Convention Center needing to shop for more than players. They have the fewest draft picks in team history, four. It’s the fewest in the NFL this year.
That won’t stay that way through the actual drafting April 25-27, when Seattle owns the 21st-overall choice in the first round.
