The Seahawks are poised for a big day — one that should satisfy a couple of needs and possibly bring a couple of so-called luxury picks.
The Hawks are one of four teams with four picks today — set up to dominate the tail end of the day, with three picks in the final nine.
Pete Carroll called it “the meat part of this draft,” and John Schneider said, “It’s going to be a blast.”
“It’s huge — huge for us picking three times in the third round,” Schneider said. “We pick at 56 tomorrow, and then we have nine more picks, so that’s really exciting for us. … We feel like it’s a solid draft all the way through.”
This is just the second time in four years John Schneider has gone into the draft with his first-round pick, and it appears he is planning the same strategy as last time.
