After a decade of picking in the bottom half of the first round (or trading out of it entirely), the Seattle Seahawks have a top-10 pick for the second consecutive season. After putting together one of the best draft classes in the NFL last year, the team enters the 2023 event with high expectations (and high picks). Traditionally, speculation around the Seahawks drafts has centered on Pete Carroll and John Schneider’s unique and unpredictable methods of evaluation. This could have simply been a product of the fact that they spent the better part of the 2010s as a perennial playoff team that was generally picking near the end of the order.
