Seattle Seahawks appoint Jeff Ireland as Draft consultant

The Seattle Seahawks have appointed former Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland as a consultant for this year's NFL Draft.

Ireland ended his six-year spell with the AFC East side, who reached the playoffs just once during that time, at the start of the year.

ESPN says that it is not known whether Ireland will remain with the Super Bowl champions beyond the Draft, which takes place next month.

The Seahawks hold the 32nd overall pick in next month's Draft.
