Don't we get two 3rd round picks for this?

I was coming here to post this, and I was going to title the thread “Breaking News, Seahawks Awarded Additional 3rd Round Picks”

I think this is the first time in history I posted news first. I should buy a lottery ticket.

Yes. He is considered a Rooney Rule eligible minority candidate. The Seahawks will receive compensatory 3rd round picks in the 2027 and 2028 drafts.

Jazzhawk · Saturday at 10:48 AM

From ‘X’, so yes, we get 2 extra 3rd round picks, one in each of the next two drafts.

Count Hawkula · Saturday at 11:00 AM

We have some guys on the D that are starting to get older. Having all these picks in a deep draft next year should help to fill the coffers. Front 7 on D next year should be our focus. LFG!!!! KaKaw KaKaw

Really? Okay. I'll take it.

Had to look it up to make sure I wasn't seeing things (he is indeed a minority).

Anyway, we better receive those 3rd-rounder comp picks.

BTW, I think the Vikings may have actually done something SMART for a change. (Are pigs flying outside?)

Don’t know what minority he qualifies as, but based on looks alone he is white guy enough to make the mike McDaniel Rooney rule compensation look reasonable.

Trackhawk · Saturday at 11:43 AM

The origin of his minority status are murky. He was born in Federal Way and grew up in Ellensburg, which would suggest Asian ancestry as most likely.

All I care about is that he qualifies, and next year’s draft may be the best in Seahawks history

If you read the NFL's article, you might notice that history has been rewritten.

So, when can we expect that 3rd Lombardi to arrive?

It sucks to lose him but congratulations to Mr. Teasley and THANK YOU Teasley for the Super Bowl Championship and I wish him the best with the Vikings!

Second best, if you don't mind.

So with John Schneider's penchant for wheeling and dealing, and using Seahawks' 2026 draft as the basis:

4 picks -> 8 picks via trades = multiplier of 2

Using that same multiplier in the 2027 draft: 12 picks * 2 -> 24 picks via trades

HOLY MOLY, THAT MEANS WE'LL HAVE 24 PICKS IN 2027!

...sorry...a little off topic but...

Someone with access and knowledge re: draft value charts, I wonder what the "value" of the 12 picks are and how JS might juggle.

What and how many round 1 picks could he collect? What about collecting equal picks in each round? What are the longest gaps between picks? Those that are more knowledgeable about 27s draft class, would it make sense to trade up or back and why/where/for what positions...?

Having lots of picks is awesome. We seem to have some really smart draft people/members here and I'm really interested in their opinions given a new 3rd.

So after this deal, the Hawks are in very good shape :

Having 12 picks seems a little on the high side unless we lose a lot of guys next year. I think the most likely scenario would be to use some of the picks to spread the wealth into future drafts.

It's probably just based on your percentage of evil white. If you fall below 50% of evil white then the NFL needs to compensate the team for losing a mostly decent human being.

My theory is that they may feel comfortable using one or two draft picks next year on injured players with very high upside that slip through the cracks like they did with Rylie Mills.
