Seattle Seahawks maintain 11 draft picks after trading for Avery Smith

The Seattle Seahawks acquired undrafted rookie cornerback Avery Smith from the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round draft pick. Despite the trade and an earlier deal for Beau Stephens that cost the team a 2027 fourth-round selection, the Seahawks remain positioned for 11 picks in the 2027 NFL Draft. This total includes five projected compensatory picks, though the status of a compensatory selection for Coby Bryant shifted to the sixth round following his knee injury. The organization also expects a third-round compensatory pick in 2027 due to Nolan Teasley joining the Minnesota Vikings as general manager., the team holds a conditional seventh-round pick from the Atlanta Falcons linked to the Michael Jerrell trade. These moves reflect ongoing roster management by the Super Bowl champions as they continue to evaluate their secondary personnel.
