Trading down to get more picks has been Seahawks’ draft M.O. This time, it’s imperative

Now that the Super Bowl is over—wait, when did this one start?—the NFL offseason is officially here.

It’s time for a different kind of game for the Seahawks: Let’s Make a Deal.

And not just deals to re-sign veteran starters Frank Clark, D.J. Fluker, J.R. Sweezy and, eventually, some guy named Russell Wilson, either.

The league on Tuesday made official its order of selections for the draft’s first round this spring. The Seahawks (currently) have the 21st-overall pick in round one. That would be the highest choice coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider have made since they drafted Bruce Irvin 15th overall in 2012.
