Seahawks Trade Up for Smith | Seattle Seahawks News

Seahawks GM John Schneider pulled off a bold move by trading a future sixth-round pick to land Avery Smith — a player who wasn’t even drafted — after previously selecting Michael Dansby in the seventh round, only for him to fall out of favor. The trade signals a defensive rebuild in motion, with Schneider betting on Smith’s development and fit, despite his unassuming college profile. It’s a reminder that draft value can shift fast — and Seattle’s front office is willing to pay the price for upgrades they believe will make the roster stronger.
