Seahawks trade down to get Jackson in NFL Draft

The Seahawks traded their 25th pick to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for that No. 28 selection, plus Dallas' fifth-round pick (163rd overall) and a seventh-round selection (No. 235 overall).
Seattle president and general manager Tim Ruskell had lamented not having a fifth-round choice in this draft, so the trade fills that void. And the selection fills the Seahawks' need to bolster a defensive line that lost free agents Chuck Darby and Ellis Wyms.
