As I’ve noted before (and as every child in Seattle over the age of three knows), the Seahawks under Pete Carroll and John Schneider have a long history of trading down to get exactly the players they want. This year will be no different. Well, there’s one difference. With just four picks, Seattle almost has to move down to address all their needs.
When everyone knows you want to trade, that’s normally not a strong bargaining position. Of course, there’s always a trading partner that just has to have the one player the owner fell in love with.
