To the surprise of absolutely no one on planet earth who has been following the Seattle Seahawks in the nearly years that Pete Carroll and John Schneider have been in charge of the team’s personnel, the Hawks traded down with their first pick in the draft. In doing so they picked up a couple of extra draft picks in the middle rounds, while at the same time setting themselves up with consecutive first round picks at 29 and 30.
When they came on the clock at 29, they took plenty of time, and then took even more time as they continued to negotiate a second trade for extra draft picks.
