2023 NFL Draft analysis: How will the Seahawks utilize Jaxon Smith-Njigba?

With the 20th overall pick in the NFL Draft the Seattle Seahawks selected Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The need for another long-term pass catcher was apparent with the questions surrounding Tyler Lockett’s future with the team and Seattle addressed that with this pick. JSN is an extremely bright talent, which he showed in his 2021 Rose Bowl performance where he racked up 347 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 15 receptions. The thought of that type of receiver lining up next to Tyler Lockett with DK Metcalf on the other side is mesmerizing for Seahawks fans.
