The Seahawks had an exciting night, and it was even more exciting behind the scenes.
We always get a few sneak peeks behind the scenes during the NFL Draft, but rarely do we get to see the extent of chaotic choreography going on when the cameras aren’t rolling. Fortunately, we have John Boyle to rectify that! He was inside the room with Schneider, Macdonald, Allen, and co. on draft night and has a start-to-finish breakdown of everything that happened along the way.
According to Boyle’s article, the wait for their pick to arrive at 81 was an intense and stressful block of time. They knew they wanted Haynes, but kept seeing teams take linemen ahead of them. The fact that he remained on the board resulted in a quintessential Schneider moment: Haynes is hitting the ground running, and so is offensive line coach Scott Huff. Heading into Day 3, fatigue was setting in, but the need to press onward meant that rest would have to wait.
