Thoughts on how the Seahawks handled the 2023 NFL Draft.
I’m done waiting for UDFAs and Day 3 picks and aging veterans being the third receiving option and then the offense tanks whenever something happens to either Tyler Lockett or DK Metcalf. Time to get potentially elite talent at a position that is as highly coveted as any in an NFL offense outside of quarterback.The Seahawks didn’t draft Anthony Richardson, and maybe in an alternate world where Seattle picked at No. 3 they would’ve considered it.
Drew Lock’s job as the backup entering training camp is looking as safe as can be, and obviously Geno Smith is QB1 into 2024.Seattle has drafted running backs in Rounds 1 or 2 three times over the past six seasons. Even after getting Ken Walker last season, the departures of Rashaad Penny and Travis Homer inspired them to use a second-rounder on Zach Charbonnet from UCLA, whom I like but obviously the process of taking backs early is a sore spot among fans.
But I’ll still root like hell for Charbonnet to be the thunder to Walker’s lightning. And maybe Kenny McIntosh can be the jack of all trades option.The Seahawks drafted zero middle linebackers. Their depth consists of Bobby Wagner, Devin Bush, Jordyn Brooks , Vi Jones, Jon Rhattigan, and whichever UDFAs they keep with them through camp. That terrifies me. Just going to assume something will get done about this over the summer.
Three straight years with minimal movement during the draft may indicate another shift in Seattle’s draft philosophy that extends beyond which players they acquire.It was a bit of an eyebrow raiser that entering Day 3 the only draft pick along the line of scrimmage was Auburn’s Derick Hall. Pete Carroll said they didn’t draft by need, but by which players they wanted.— Bob Condotta They still addressed some needs, though! Anthony Bradford should compete with Phil Haynes for the right guard job.
Not every pick for the Seahawks will be a home run and that’s a fact. If they can get a couple of singles or doubles with their Day 3 picks and their early choices are home runs, I’ll be more than content. The draft process was generally as sound as it was in 2022, which is the best we can hope for before any of these rookies steps onto the field.
