The Seattle Seahawks will have two selections in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Their first pick (fifth overall) was acquired in last off-season’s blockbuster trade of Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos. What a boon this deal proved to be for general manager John Schneider and Co. Seattle also has its original first-round pick (20th overall) as well as the Broncos’ second-round selection (37th overall). It’s a good place for the team to be in after a surprise playoff run a season ago. As we dive into our first Seahawks mock draft of 2023, the central focus in the Pacific Northwest has to be on building around quarterback Geno Smith. At this point, it seems to be a foregone conclusion that the reigning NFL Comeback Player of the Year will be back in Seattle next season. If so, building a more well-rounded team should be in the cards.
