Still, the the expectation is that Seahawks general manager John Schneider will at least try to make a move or two during the draft. One possibility is trading away a player, which was brought up by ESPN\u2019s Seahawks beat reporter Brady Henderson in his appearance on <a href=\"https:\/\/seahawksdraftblog.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rob Staton<\/a>\u2019s podcast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI will say this: I would not discount the possibility of Seattle adding a draft pick by trading somebody on their roster, and Olu Oluwatimi is the guy that comes to mind,\u201d Henderson said. \u201cI would not be surprised at all if they end up trading him either before the draft or maybe on Day 3, kind of like they did with Sam Howell a few years ago, and you pick up a Day 3 pick that way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI think they\u2019re going to end up with more than four picks; I would caution people against assuming they\u2019re going to be able to find a trade partner at 32.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s not inconceivable to think that Oluwatimi is a possible trade option for Seattle. He\u2019s on the last year of his rookie contract and is 0-for-3 as far as getting the Week 1 starting job over any of Evan Brown, Connor Williams, or Jalen Sundell. Nevertheless, Oluwatimi has 13 starts under his belt and hasn\u2019t performed like he\u2019s a liability, it\u2019s just unlikely that he\u2019ll be able to wrest the starting job away from Sundell at this point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Oluwatimi has shown himself to be a bare minimum good backup at the center position, but if the Seahawks want to add draft picks without dipping into next year\u2019s treasure trove, Oluwatimi might be an option for a late-round pick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is not considered a strong draft class and certainly not one where adding picks is super coveted.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":870179,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2081],"tags":[7,6,238,237,261,59395,15802,2635],"class_list":{"0":"post-870178","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-seattle-seahawks","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-seahawks","11":"tag-seattle","12":"tag-seattle-seahawks","13":"tag-seattle-seahawks-draft","14":"tag-seattle-seahawks-rumors","15":"tag-seattleseahawks"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116433275090111077","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=870178"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870178\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/870179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=870178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=870178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
