As it stands now, the Seattle Seahawks will head into this year's NFL draft with only four selections, the fewest of any team in the league. They also have 14 players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents, as well as needs at other positions.
It all means there will be much more on their agenda than just putting prospects through the paces at the NFL's scouting combine this week. Indianapolis is often where the groundwork for free-agent deals is laid, and with every general manager in the same place at once, it's where John Schneider can start to gauge the trade market for the 21st overall pick as he tries to beef up Seattle's selection total.
