RENTON, Wash. (AP) — For the first time in 14 years, general manager John Schneider will be leaning on a new voice inside the Seattle Seahawks draft room.
The influence Pete Carroll carried as Schneider’s partner when it came to putting together the plans for how Seattle would approach the draft is no longer there. And while the draft has often been Schneider’s show to run in the past, it will be a different dynamic with Carroll no longer by his side.
Seattle has seven picks entering this year’s draft, beginning with No. 16 overall in the first round. It’s the start of a new era for the Seahawks with Mike Macdonald taking over as head coach, replacing Carroll and the franchise going from the oldest coach in the league to the youngest.
But the constant is Schneider, entering yet another draft where if the Seahawks intend on rejoining the elite of the NFC they need to find some key pieces that can contribute sooner rather than later.
