Should Seattle Seahawks trade up in 1st round of NFL Draft?
It’s now officially less than a month until the NFL Draft, and there will be plenty of intrigue surrounding what the Seattle Seahawks do at pick No. 18.
Salk: Why the Seattle Seahawks have made a bet they can’t lose
Whether it’s the offensive line, defense or even wide receiver, there seems to be a handful of players who the Seahawks could end up going with in the first round. But fans in Seattle are well aware that the picks the team enters the draft with aren’t necessarily where they’ll end up selecting. Draft day trades can always happen, and Seahawks general manger John Schneider has made plenty of those over the years.
Schneider is mostly known for trading back in the draft, which he has notably done several times in the first round. But could 2025 be the year where he moves up in the first round?
ESPN draft analyst Field Yates was asked if this year’s draft was one worth trading up in the first round during his conversation with Seattle Sports’ Brock and Salk on Monday.
“I think it’s a good year to just pick at 18 for this reason: I just don’t know what the appetite will be to trade up,” Yates said. “I mean, maybe you see, like, 19 or 20 (trade up) to 18, where some team is just making sure they don’t get sniped by a separate team who they think is hot on the trail of the same player.”
Yates also feels that there isn’t the sort of top-tier talent that’s worth moving up for.
“This isn’t a class where it’s like you’ve got so many established, bona fide blue-chippers that you gotta get through first before you can take that second tier of guys,” Yates said. “I think that second tier or that third tier is just much wider than normal.”
Huard weighs in
Brock and Salk co-host Brock Huard shared his take on the Seahawks potentially trading up in the first round Tuesday during his Blue 88 segment.
“I don’t see that at all,” said Huard, a FOX analyst and former NFL quarterback.
Co-host Mike Salk asked what if that would mean trading up three to five spots to get someone like star Penn State tight end Tyler Warren, who has the potential to make an instant impact as a receiver and blocker.
“It’s a real dangerous game, and I got to know whether those three offensive lineman that I really love are sitting there still,” said Huard, who noted it would likely cost Seattle one of its second-round picks to move up a few spots in the first round. “If they’re still sitting there, then I cannot possibly do that. As intriguing and as tantalizing as that may be, I cannot do that and then all of a sudden hope that at (pick) 50 or 52 that one of those young studs is still there and available.”

Knight, a five-time Olympian and captain of the United States team that won gold, will be out of the lineup for the Seattle Torrent indefinitely after sustaining a lower-body injury in Italy, the team announced Friday.
Knight had three goals and three assists for the U.S. at Milan Cortina including a goal in the 2-1 overtime win over Canada in the final. She has three goals and seven assists during the current PWHL season.

“While we’re eager to be at full strength and recognize the anticipation of Hilary’s return, we’re focused on putting her and our team in the best position for a playoff push,” Torrent general manager Meghan Turner said in a statement.
Minnesota Frost captain Coyne Schofield was placed on long-term injured reserve on Friday retroactive to Feb. 19 with an upper-body injury. Coyne Schofield scored three goals for the United States during the Olympics.
“I am incredibly proud of all our Frost Olympians who demonstrated true excellence on the world stage,” general manager Melissa Caruso said in a statement. “We are fully committed to supporting Kendall throughout her recovery, and our medical team will be working diligently to help her prepare for her return to the ice.”
The moves by the Torrent and Frost came a day after the Montreal Victoire announced that Ambrose has been placed on long-term injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 19 for a lower‑body injury suffered while representing Canada in the gold medal game. Ambrose had a pair of assists at the Olympics.
The Victoire’s Marie-Philip Poulin, Canada’s captain in Italy, was listed as day-to-day with an Olympics-related injury.
Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau said of the team’s Olympians “we are confident that they will be back in the lineup in the near future.”
