Seahawks’ Trade with Steelers Makes Them Lose Out on Starting Guard

The Seattle Seahawks traded back in the NFL Draft with the Pittsburgh Steelers, moving from the 96th to the 99th pick while acquiring a sixth-round selection. This decision resulted in the Seahawks missing the opportunity to draft Gennings Dunker, a highly regarded offensive lineman who could have strengthened their struggling interior line, particularly at the right guard position. The trade highlights the Seahawks' strategy to accumulate more draft picks, but it may have compromised their ability to address a key area of need on their roster.
