The Weekly John Schneider Show
During this week’s Seattle Sports’ John Schneider Show, Seahawks general manager/president of football operations John Schneider discussed the upcoming NFL Draft, the local Pro Day and more.
With the NFL Draft a little under two weeks away Schneider was asked about the Seahawks draft board and what the process of fine-tuning the board looks like in the lead up to the draft.
“The scouts have seen how Nolan Teasley, Matt Berry, Trent [Kirchner] and myself how we have adjusted the board, going through it another time by ourselves. Now [the scouts] have gone out in the spring, they’ve studied it, they bring that information and now we’re going through it by position again. We’re discussing where they should be on the board and what that looks like. We also have the coaching staff’s grades, so we can read their reports now and see this is what the coaches think too.”
Schneider was also asked about the quarterbacks in this year’s draft.
“I’d be careful when you hear people say this isn’t a great draft [for quarterbacks]. I think it depends on the team, the player, the quarterback, how you’re going to acquire him, where you’re going to acquire him. Bringing him through the building is really about, we need more time, we need more answers, and we need more time with this player based on the questions that we need answered in terms of the vision we see for this player and the fit.”
