John Schneider says Seahawks looking to trade back from No. 32 pick
Seahawks GM John Schneider stated at his pre-draft press conference that the team is willing to trade back from the No. 32 overall pick in the draft.
The Seattle Seahawks will look to leverage their draft stock in the 2026 NFL Draft. According to The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar, Seahawks general manager John Schneider stated at his pre-draft press conference on Monday that Seattle will explore avenues to trade down from the No. 32 overall pick in the draft.
The Seahawks only have four picks in the draft this year. Seattle will close out day 1 of the draft with the No. 32 overall and final pick in the first round.
The Seahawks also own picks No. 64 in the second round, No. 96 in the third, as well as No.
188 in the sixth. Trading back into the second round from the final pick in the first round will allow Seattle to potentially acquire more picks on day 2 of the draft or a player at a position of need in the trade market. The Seahawks have need for an edge rusher, as well as a cornerback the most this offseason.
