I don't think it's much different then how Lynch works with Shanahan or how Snead works with McVay.

I wasn't sure if there was a clause where she could back out if she didn't want to sell.
We are all aware that a trade down is a possibility this draft. Fieldgulls has listed the trade downs under JS and who the Seahawks have drafted in this article:
How John Schneider’s first-round trade downs have worked out
Yes, the Seahawks got DK Metcalf indirectly because of one of Seattle’s first-round trades.
My feelings after seeing the history of the results after trading down is it usually doesn't work out well. Still the obvious lack of draft capitol makes it seem inevitable this draft. Sort of damned if you do and damned if you don't.
It doesn't generally work out, but is it because the draft class is lacking? I got to say there are some interesting prospects that will go in round two this draft.
This could be a good year to trade back and pick up a pick or 2 with defensive players falling back. It's possible 5 QBs, 3 or 4 WRs and a couple o-line guys go off the board before Seattle pick.
Macdonald typically likes a massive DT and Sweat and Maason Smith were 2 that fit the bill this draft, but now both may be off JS list due to character issues. I was intrigued with Sweat as he would have gone a long ways to improving the run defense. Some team will take a gamble on him day 2 of the draft but it won't be the Seahawks.
It's a different draft, you don't see these players mocked to the Seahawks typically. Newton of course is the big name and some think he's going to be top notch in the pro's. Not a typical Macdonald DT as he usually has a big boy at DT like Hankins but maybe bigger. Wallace is really athletic and plays all over including offense at times, nice chess piece maybe. Layden Robinson I don't know much about but this is a scouting report on him from the draft network:This was an interesting mock...
Five-round 2024 NFL mock draft: Broncos trade up for QB in Round 1; Vikings wait until No. 23 overall
In his third mock of the 2024 NFL Draft -- a five-rounder! -- Chad Reuter projects the Broncos will trade up for a QB while the Vikings stand pat and select one later in the first round.www.nfl.com
Has us trading back with the Eagles (our 16th and early 4th for their 22nd and 50th):
Then taking:
1st: Newton - DT (good)
2nd: Trevin Wallace - LB (bit of a surprise. I don't know if the plan would be to convert him to ILB or what. His athleticism was off the charts, ran a 4.51 at nearly 240 lbs!). I haven't seen anyone mock him to Seattle. Walt Football has him in the 4th round for what it's worth.
3rd: Layden Robinson - G (no surprise for the need here)
4th: Jalyx Hunt - EDGE (this is an interesting one. He used to play safety apparently so I would ASSUME he's okay in coverage - for an EDGE anyway?)
One of the more interesting mocks I've seen. All those guys are crazy athletic (maybe with exception of Newton although he's no slouch). Guard off the board in the 3rd I GUESS would be a starter? So that leaves a concern on the OL but I dunno... there's no guarantee Fautanu would work either so *shrugs*.... that still leaves a major hole at IOL but the defense would be pretty shored up at that point outside of maybe safety.
Either way, a different take to a lot of mocks that I've seen. I know some of you will absolutely hate it.
I think it's possible to hold character as a big consideration and still look at players who may have made a mistake. Everyone gets their day in court, and maybe the team wants to get a better feel for what he's all about.... whether the incident is more likely a one-off type deal or evidence of a true character flaw. And let's not forget that the supremely talented players tend to get 3rd and 4th chances, while average Joe has a much less forgiving operating space.
I guess your right on that. I believe they interviewed Carter last season after his trouble last season.
