Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll joined Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr on their “Flying Coach” podcast and hinted that Seattle could down in the virtual 2020 NFL Draft.
“Probably the most intricate part of this and other than the analytics that have compiled to this point is the potential to move in the draft,” Carroll explained. “We have been very, very active over the years and have always been looking for an opportunity. We consider it another chance to compete, and so we will consider [trades] with every pick that we are making in some way or another.”
Carroll also discussed his professional relationship with Seahawks general manager John Schneider, stating that it is the most important aspect of his job.
“To me, it’s the number one marriage that I have next to Glena,” Carroll said. “This is a marriage, that we have to live together. We have to grow together. We have to accept each other’s unique ways. We have to find our way to get to a decision that we can really champion. And so, there’s give and take, there’s understanding. There is a real willingness to make the relationship great, and I’ve cherished that thought in the NFL when I came back to the league. It was really the most important thing that I was going to be part of was to connect with the general manager.”
With the draft kicking off on Thursday, Carroll and Schneider will be expected to bring their best decision-making to the table.
