Today marks the start of the 2019 NFL draft, and the hype is real leading up to the first round, which is set to kick off at 5 p.m. PT.
As is customary for Seattle, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is in on the action, tweeting draft clues ahead of the big event.
As of now, Seattle is scheduled to select twice in the first round, at Nos. 21 and 29 overall. The later first-round pick is courtesy of the Chiefs as part of the trade that sent defensive end Frank Clark to Kansas City.
The Seahawks also have one pick in the third round (No. 92 — also via the Chiefs), one in the fourth (No. 124) and one fifth-rounder (No.159). Seattle is likely to pull off another trade or two so the draft order and the number of selections could change quickly.
