The Seahawks upgraded their defensive line on the first day of the 2019 NFL Draft, selecting L.J. Collier, a defensive end out of TCU with the 29th overall pick. They also added to their overall draft capital for the rest of the draft, something that was important to a team that came into the week holding just four picks.
After trading Frank Clark to the Chiefs for the 29th pick and a 2020 second-rounder, the Seahawks added more picks on Thursday night by first moving back from No. 21 to No. 30 overall in a trade with Green Bay that netted Seattle two additional picks, then later by trading the 30th pick to the New York Giants for a second-round pick, a fourth-rounder and a fifth-rounder.
