Seahawks GM John Schneider shares what final week before draft looks like

The 2023 NFL draft is less than a week away and Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll are putting the final touches on all of the prep they’ve worked so hard to complete.

Here’s a look at what the two have planned in the final days leading up to the draft.

“We’re getting together with the coaches on Friday and Saturday,” Schneider said during his press conference at the VMAC. “Sunday is a really cool kind of gathering of all the information that you just heard and kind of a reset with the scouts and trying to figure out the input from the coaches and what that means to the front board. We’ll get with Jody (Allen) on Tuesday night and show her what it looks like and tell her what we’re thinking and what our process has been and the way we think it’s going to go, all the different scenarios.”

The Seahawks are in an unfamiliar position this year with two picks in each of the first two rounds and a ton of selections to consider. Some serious discussions are ahead for the duo.

“Then Pete and I will have a good day, afternoon just the two of us,” Schneider continued. “Like I said, speaking to other teams, speaking to agents, getting as much information in the final prep as we possibly can and then closing the doors and just getting ready for Thursday night to let it rip.”

The NFL draft kicks off on Thursday, April 27.
