Brock\u2019s Seahawks Draft Profile: Pitt hybrid LB\/S Kyle Louis<\/a><\/p>\n

The NFL Draft begins in two weeks starting with the first round on Thursday, April 23. The Seahawks currently hold four picks in the three-day event, including No. 32 overall in the first round.<\/p>\n

So, where is the organization at in its preparation for the draft? General manager and president of football operations John Schneider addresses that Thursday when he joined Seattle Sports\u2019 Wyman and Bob<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re getting close. The scouts are back in,\u201d Schneider said. \u201cWe have our local day today, so we have 40 guys finishing up out here today. Yeah, we have a pretty clear picture of what the (draft) board looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Schneider said the organization still has one big meeting for medical evaluations left and that meetings with Seahawks coaches will take place next weekend. But before the meetings with coaches, the scouting team will be hard at work studying prospects throughout this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is always a really cool weekend when the scouts are in studying because the Masters is going, we got it going all day. It\u2019s just awesome,\u201d Schneider said. \u201cYou\u2019re kind of narrowing in on what it\u2019s going to look like. And listening to all the guys, you hear their passion. Like, we can deal with this guy or we can\u2019t deal with this guy, or I don\u2019t feel good about this, let somebody else have them. That sort of thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schneider said there is still some work to be done when it comes to being prepared for all the potential scenarios Day 1 of the draft could present when Seattle is slated make the final pick of the night.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019ll be\u2026 once we get through with the coaches next weekend, I think that Monday,\u201d Schneider said. \u201cAnd then I usually have like Tuesday just with (head coach) Mike (Macdonald) pretty much, and then I feel like pretty good about, OK, if not (player) A then B, if not C then D.\u201d<\/p>\n

The John Schneider Show airs on Thursdays at 4 p.m. during Wyman and Bob leading up to the first day of the NFL Draft. Hear Wyman and Bob weekdays from 2-7 p.m. on Seattle Sports 710 AM and the Seattle Sports app.<\/p>\n
