Seahawks Make Trade and Select in First Round

 


 

The Seahawks did not surprise us once again they traded out of the 26h pick but they did stay in the first round. Pete Carroll and John Schneider decided they could move but and still get their selection. So they made a trade with the Denver Broncos moving down to 31th the last pick in the first round along with getting a third round pick at the same time.

The Seahawks now have three second round picks along with the 3rd round pick. This gives the Seahawks five players among the first one hundred players to be selected in the draft. The Seahawks could trade a pick or two among this group to add even more picks or move up as well.   We will have to see what happens later today.

The first round draft pick the Seahawks took at 31st was Germain Ifedi out of Texas A&M. He played both guard and tackle in college however the Seahawks are going to try him first at right tackle to see how does there. The Seahawks like his versatility along with his toughness. Like most Seahawk fans I have never seen him play or very little anyway. If I saw Texas A&M play any games I did not watch the offensive line that is for sure.  He is a big fellow 6’6” and 324 pounds.

With nine picks remaining to choose over the next two days the Seahawks likely will be taking at least a couple more offensive lineman so where they fit in the puzzle we will have to see.
