The Seattle Seahawks have the 21st pick of the first round. The NFL draft begins on Thursday with the first round only going. The second and third rounds will go Friday and four through ten on Saturday.
The Seahawks have only four picks right now going into the draft. Unless they trade a player like Frank Clark the best option for the Seahawks is to trade down. This means they will pick either later in the first round or not until Friday taking their first selection in the second round.
The only reason I would see the Seahawks not trading down outside of making a trade before the draft is if the player they see still available would be an impact player and they feel he would not still be there when moving down. The Seahawks decide to keep Frank Clark the thought is they will draft a defensive end that will play on the other side of him.
There is a lot of very good defensive lineman in this draft so moving down could still land the Seahawks one they would like to have. The Seahawks decided not to draft a defensive lineman early the likelihood it will still be a defensive player. In this case, it would be a defensive back.
At some point in the draft, we will probably see the Seahawks drafting an offensive lineman and a wide receiver. The Seahawks can always add an offensive lineman to improve the positions. A wide receiver is a good choice because no one knows right now whether Doug Baldwin will be on the team or he will decide to retire. He has had several operations during the off-season. We do hope on his return but the Seahawks will have to plan on a future without him as well.
So if you plan to watch or listen during the NFL draft I would wait for a while if the purpose to find out who the Seahawks are picking. Go Hawks!
