For the first time in over a decade, the Seahawks are scheduled to make a pick within the top-10 selections of next week's draft. The pick, slotted at No. 9, was one of five to change hands from the Broncos to the Seahawks in the trade that sent star quarterback Russell Wilson to Denver. Naturally, with Wilson gone, quarterback has become the biggest need on the board for Seattle. But along with those five aforementioned picks, tight end Noah Fant and defensive lineman Shelby Harris, the Seahawks also acquired fourth-year quarterback Drew Lock. Coming as no surprise, general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll have voiced a level of confidence in Lock's abilities moving forward, despite the 25-year old's lackluster track record. Seattle also re-signed veteran Geno Smith, who started three games in place of an injured Wilson last season, to a one-year contract.
