Seattle Seahawks 3-Round Mock Draft – With the 16th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, General Manager John Schneider has a crucial decision to make – continue the rebuild by focusing on defense for new head coach Mike Macdonald, or invest in protecting their franchise quarterback, Geno Smith (or his eventual successor). Schneider and Pete Carroll have been a successful draft day duo for the past 15 years, and while they’ve marched to the beat of their own drum, it’s hard to argue that it’s been a success overall. It’ll be interesting to see how Schneider approaches this draft without Carroll around this year. With just two picks in the top 100, I think Seattle is an excellent candidate to trade back to recoup some of the missing picks. Otherwise, they’re a bit of a wildcard when on the clock at pick 16. Interior offensive line, EDGE rusher, and defensive back are the team’s most pressing needs, and trading back may allow them to address all these spots on Thursday and Friday if they can pull off a move from 16 to the mid-20s.
