RENTON, Wash. (AP) — General manager John Schneider has started calling the Seattle Seahawks coaching staff his “draft experts.”
Without the ability to work with any players under contract, the Seahawks’ coaching staff is being far more involved with the NFL draft as opposed to in the past.
They need something to do.
But while Schneider can joke about Pete Carroll and his coaching staff being so focused on the draft it should make for a smoother draft all around for the Seahawks, who own the 25th pick in the first round.
Last year with Schneider and Carroll only taking over a few months before the draft, Seattle’s methodology was a piecemeal approach.
This year, they’re all working under the same system.
