The problem Seattle needs to work out is this...
Win the line of scrimmage. We don't. Plain and simple. So fix that issue.
We have drafted how many OL in the first 2 rounds under Snyder, and yet people want us to waste picks on more OL who he will miss on? It’s clear FA is our best option to fix the OL, since he has a tough time drafting OL early in the draft, who are worth it.
Get the facts straight. Those were Cable picks.
Recent history (Post-Cable) has shown otherwise.
And yes, trade back for more picks. A LOT of good Offensive Linemen come from the 3rd and later rounds.
From an article on 710 ESPN: I'll leave out Scherff who was an early pick (#5 overall)
Packers center Corey Linsley
Linsley, who turns 30 in July, entered the league in 2014 as the Packers’ fifth-round selection after playing in college at Ohio State. Despite being a fifth-round pick, he started as a rookie and has been Green Bay’s starting center ever since. He’s started all 16 games four times and played at least 13 games in six of his seven NFL seasons. In 2020, he was named a First-Team All-Pro.

Thuney also played 2020 on the franchise tag, earning $14,780,000 from the New England Patriots.
A left guard, Thuney was a third-round pick by New England in 2016 after playing at North Carolina State. He was a Second-Team All-Pro in 2019 and has started all 16 games every year since entering the NFL.
“If you’re asking me just my overall wish list of guys that if you could pick any three, those three … are the guys I would really love to see in a Seahawks uniform this season,” Heaps said.
