Tony Pauline of SI.com is reporting that the Seattle Seahawks are looking to move out of the 12th overall pick and are targeting linebacker Dont'a Hightower after trading down.
Report: Seahawks Looking To Trade Back; Targeting Dont’a Hightower

It's interesting to think they'd rather trade down and get Hightower given there is a large possibility that Luke Kuechly - widely thought of as the best inside linebacker of this draft - would be available at 12.
The last part of that tweet kind of takes me by surprise. Mark Barron is by far the best safety in this class, but is he worthy of the 12th pick? Pauline went on to suggest that the selection of Barron would enable the Seahawks to move Kam Chancellor down to outside linebacker.
My question is, who would be willing to move up to 12, and for which player?
