On the heels of perhaps the most unexpected playoff run in franchise history, the Seahawks have a 'unique opportunity' in the 2023 NFL Draft to catapult the franchise back to being a perennial title contender. Extra first and second round picks acquired in last year's deal with the Denver Broncos give Pete Carroll and John Schneider a great deal of flexibility to move up or down the draft board. At No. 5 overall – the earliest Carroll or Schneider have ever selected – the Seahawks are in prime position to land an immediate-impact defender, address the long-term future at quarterback or trade down to fill out the roster via a draft full of talented players at positions of concern.
