With the NFL Draft just around the corner, excitement is at an all-time high for fans eagerly anticipating their team's big moment. The Seattle Seahawks are right in the thick of it, generating buzz around potential first-round picks ranging from tight ends to wide receivers and even quarterbacks. This draft is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable yet!

John Schneider's Aggressive Moves

This week, I'm diving into a unique perspective on how Seahawks GM John Schneider might go all-in by orchestrating three strategic trades during the draft, with a focus on snagging his top choices.

First Trade: Moving Up for a Blue Chip Talent

**TRADE #1:** Seahawks send their picks #18, #92, and a 2026 third-rounder to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for pick #13 and a 2026 fifth-round pick. **Round 1, Pick 13 - Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan** I foresee the Seahawks aiming for a tight end early, and Colston Loveland stands out as one of the elite prospects available. This year features a talent-rich class, and while some mock drafts have Loveland going later, he's proven to be a game-changer when healthy. He's a dynamic player who excelled as a key figure on Michigan's national championship squad. With a tight end room featuring Loveland alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and possibly Cooper Kupp, the Seahawks' offensive dynamics could elevate their performance significantly.

Second Trade: Solidifying the Offensive Line

**TRADE #2:** Seahawks trade picks #50 and #137 to the Atlanta Falcons for pick #46. **Round 2, Pick 46 - Josh Conerly Jr., OL, Oregon** At pick #50, the Seahawks could gamble on landing a top offensive lineman, but with the way the draft is unfolding, it’s too risky. Moving up to #46 secures Josh Conerly Jr., a local talent returning to Seattle. While he’s shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in Oregon's running schemes, he still needs refinement to fully realize his potential. With a year of development, there's no limit to what he could accomplish, potentially emerging as a franchise cornerstone.

Third Trade: Defensive Reinforcements
