The Seahawks enter the 2022 NFL draft in unfamiliar territory compared to recent seasons.
Seattle will have four top-72 picks, unlike last year when the team had no first-round selections. The team’s No. 9 overall pick is its first top-10 pick since general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll’s first season back in 2010.
The Seahawks gained the No. 9 pick in the blockbuster trade with the Broncos this offseason to send quarterback Russell Wilson to Denver. Seattle got quarterback Drew Lock in return, who started just three Broncos games last season.
Because of Lock’s rocky three seasons in the NFL, the Seahawks could potentially pick up a quarterback at some point in the draft.
Additionally, the Seahawks are looking at some defensive options, especially after releasing eight-time Pro Bowler Bobby Wagner, who was later picked up by the Rams this offseason.
Seattle has eight picks in the draft. Here is how the Seahawks draft has turned out thus far (to be updated during NFL Draft):
Round 1, Pick 9 (from Denver):
Round 2, Pick 40 (from Denver):
Round 2, Pick 41:
Round 3, Pick 72:
Round 4, Pick 109 (from New York Jets):
Round 5, Pick 145 (from Detroit through Denver):
Round 5, Pick 153:
Round 7, Pick 229:
