Seahawks Wire

The problem with draft season is that it’s entirely too long. By February 1 we have already seen a dozen different versions of how the first round might play out, and seeing the same five prospects come off the board over and over gets a bit redundant. In fact, in our last two league-wide mocks the top five picks were exactly the same. So, this week we decided to change things up by throwing a chaos grenade into our 2024 mock draft simulation. To guarantee a fresh scenario, we screwed with the sliders for positional vaue and randomness until the model finally broke and came out with something different. When our turn came to pick for the Seahawks, we traded down from the No. 16 overall spot with the Texans, picking up pick Nos. 23 and 59 in the process and sending a seventh-rounder back. Our goal was to focus exclusively on premier positions and in the end we hit them all, selecting one offensive tackle, one defensive lineman, one wide receiver and one quarterback.
