Day 1 of the NFL Draft is here, and the Seattle Seahawks are scheduled to take the last pick of Thursday night at No. 32 overall in the first round.

No one would be surprised if the Seahawks trade that pick to add more selections in the following rounds, especially since they currently own just four total picks in this draft. Adding fuel to the fire is that Seahawks general manager and president of football operations John Schneider already tipped his hand at a press conference on Monday.

“It’s no secret with us,” Schneider said. “We have four picks, so we’ll be looking to move back.”

How far into the second round could the Seahawks trade back? NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah shared his take when he joined Seattle Sports’ Brock and Salk on Wednesday, and the main factor he pointed to is one player who has been heavily speculated to land with the Hawks this week: Notre Dame running back Jaradian Price, who could be Seattle’s replacement for Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, a free agency departure to Kansas City.

Daniel Jeremiah: Why draft is set up for Seahawks to take Price

“I still think that (Jadarian) Price is a big part of that equation. So how far back do you want to slide? How comfortable are you going back?” Jeremiah said. “I was looking at them in a couple of different scenarios, and it’s a little bit of a gamble if you were to go back further, but I think there’s enough players that could marry up and fit them well because they’re in such a good roster position. So I did a trade in my last mock draft and I had them making a little bit more of a significant drop.”

In Jeremiah’s mock draft published Wednesday, he has the Seahawks making a deal with the Baltimore Ravens, which would move them back to the No. 45 overall pick.

Who could the Seahawks still land if they move back that far?

“I feel really good about you’re gonna have corners and edge rushers that are gonna be still in the mix,” Jeremiah said. “(Oklahoma defensive end) R Mason Thomas could be there, we’ll see what happens. (UCF defensive end) Malachi Lawrence, I think he probably is gone, but you could get… (Illinois outside linebacker) Gabe Jacas there if you wanted to. And then the corner position, there’s still going to be really good players. (Cornerback Brandon) Cisse from South Carolina could be there, (cornerback Daylen) Everette from Georgia, (South Carolina safety Jalon) Kilgore could be there. There’ll be good options there with those (guys). I think (San Diego State cornerback) Chris Johnson, probably you miss out on that one. Now, there’s still gonna be really good players there.”

If the Seahawks are hoping to both trade back and still land Price to be their featured running back, though, trading back into the 40s may not work out for them.

“If you were just dead set on we want Price, I’d be a little bit nervous going there that you would miss out on that one,” Jeremiah said. “… If you don’t get him, then I would get as many extra picks as you go through this process, and I would probably try and take a couple guys later.”
