RENTON, Wash. (AP) — For the better part of a decade, the first-round of the NFL draft has proved to be rather boring for the Seattle Seahawks. Whether it was late opening-round picks that usually were traded, or not even owning a first-rounder, the opening night of the draft was regularly dull in Seattle.
The Seahawks have never used a first or second-round draft pick on a cornerback in the Pete Carroll and John Schneider era. But if that trend continues in 2022, it will be due to the gravity of their situation rather than a matter of preference.
