The NFL Draft takes place later this week in Pittsburgh<\/a>, which means the Seahawks, who built a Super Bowl-winning roster in part on the strength of the 2022-2025 draft classes, will get another chance to add talent to the roster.<\/p>\n

As things currently stand, the Seahawks hold only four picks, but as general manager president of football operations John Schneider acknowledged on Monday, it’s no secret that the Seahawks would be open to trading back to add more picks.<\/p>\n

“It’s no secret with us, we have four picks, so we’ll be looking to move back,” Schneider said in Monday\u2019s pre-draft press conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But even if the Seahawks are unable to find trade partners and make only four selections, Schneider and company know that a relative lack of draft capital is no excuse for not finding quality players who can help the team this year and beyond.<\/p>\n

“No matter what draft you’re in, what year, it’s our responsibility to the organization to be able to find true Seahawks all the way through it,” Schneider said. “So that means if we did have that fourth, fifth, and we’re moving around and we acquire more draft picks, we’re still going to be focused on making those guys true Seahawks. When you say nailing it, no matter if you have the three (picks in 2021), or last year having a bunch of draft picks, it doesn’t matter. You still feel that same level of pressure to be able to bring the best people you can and for the organization and for the coaching staff.”<\/p>\n
