Summary

The Seahawks selected 10 players in the 2023 NFL Draft and split them evenly between the offense and defense. Did they improve in the biggest areas of need or was they picking strictly at best player available?

Here's a look at the Seahawks 2023 NFL Draft class:

R1·Pick 5(5) - CB Devon Witherspoon
R1·Pick 20(20) - WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba
R2·Pick 6(37) - OLB Derick Hall
R2·Pick 21(52) - RB Zach Charbonnet
R4·Pick 6(108) - G Anthony Bradford
R4·Pick 21(123) - DT Cameron Young
R5·Pick 16(151) - DE Mike Morris
R5·Pick 19(154) - C Olu Oluwatimi
R6·Pick 21(198) - S Jerrick Reed II
R7·Pick 20(237) - RB Kenny McIntosh

In a draft with a record number of trades, John Schneider only managed one move and it was to give up a third round pick for a future third rounder. Did he miss on his evaluation of where certain position groups would come off the board? In some cases the Seahawks kicked off big runs on position groups. We discuss the philosophy behind this draft strategy, our favorite picks, and the only real grade you can give this year's draft.
