Holding a top five pick for the first time in more than a decade, the Seattle Seahawks hope a blue chip talent will fall into their lap in the 2023 NFL Draft. But as always, John Schneider will be on the lookout for trade down alternatives if the right player isn't on the board.

Hosts Corbin Smith and Dallas Cooper discuss the circumstances that could lead to Schneider wanting to move down, including their preferred quarterback and/or defensive player being picked in the first four selections, and propose a quartet of trade options with teams that could be looking to trade up to the No. 5 spot.

Smith and Cooper also dish out their annual post-free agency superlatives, naming their best value signing, biggest boom or bust signing, and much more.
