The 2023 NFL draft begins tomorrow night in Kansas City. Heading in, few fanbases have more cause to be excited than the Seattle Seahawks. They hold 10 total selections and the most draft capital by far for any team that made the playoffs last season. That gives them an important opportunity to catch up with the true contenders in the NFC if they play their cards right.
Last year’s results were superb – and in fact it’s arguable no team did a better job in the modern era. Let’s see if they can double up with another strong draft and join the conference heavyweights.
So, let’s break down some of their options based on what they need and where they are picking. Here’s how we rank five potential targets that are projected to be in the range of each pick Seattle holds in the draft.
