John Schneider’s extensive wheeling and dealing gifted the Seattle Seahawks with eleven picks in the 2025 NFL draft. Schneider added a starting offensive lineman, a game-changing safety, a couple of promising young pass catchers, and a big, bruising fullback, all of whom have made plays for Seattle this season.
There were also a half dozen developmental prospects, some of whom may earn bigger roles in the years ahead. All in all, a pretty good haul.
2026 does not look to be nearly as revolutionary. As of today, Schneider has just four picks – the club’s native picks in Rounds one, two, and three, and a sixth-rounder from Cleveland, which came in a previous trade.
