John Schneider and Mike Macdonald held a pre-draft press conference discussing the Seahawks' draft preparation. Key points: They feel comfortable with their draft process and roster heading into the draft. They have 5 picks in the first 3 rounds, providing flexibility. Offensive line is an area of need, but they won't reach for need over talent. They're excited about their quarterback room with Sam Darnold, Sam Howell, Drew Lock and Jaren Hall. The coaching staff is more involved in the draft process this year. They aim to draft players who are good people off the field but "dogs" on the field. Schneider cautioned against labeling draft classes as weak or strong before seeing players in the NFL. Area scouts may make more draft day calls to picks this year. Schneider views the draft preparation as the most exciting time of the year
