Jaxon Smith-Njigba makes the Seahawks receiver room elite

With pick 20 in this year's draft the Seahawks decided to hit the gas on their offense by selecting the consensus top wide receiver in the class, Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Was this the right move? What can we expect from JSN? Is there room in an already crowded WR room??? We'll dive into all things JSN as our #Seahawks decided to go from very good to potentially very elite at wide receiver in 2023.

The Seahawks Top Pick Devon Witherspoon Completes the DB Room

Our Seahawks seemed to take a “Good to Great” approach in this year's draft often choosing best player available even in areas where the team was already quite good. It didn't take long for John Schneider to showcase this philosophy taking elite Illinois cornerback with the 5th pick overall in the 2023 draft. We discuss how this thumper fits and what it does to a unit that was already well above average and what his presence allows for defensively as we head into the 2023 season. We also address why the Seahawks would have passed on addressing another key need and the draft trade that told us all we needed to know about the player.

Seahawks Post-Draft Reaction: ‘A plusses forever!’

The Seahawks selected 10 players in the 2023 NFL Draft and split them evenly between the offense and defense. Did they improve in the biggest areas of need or was they picking strictly at best player available?

Here's a look at the Seahawks 2023 NFL Draft class:

R1·Pick 5(5) – CB Devon Witherspoon
R1·Pick 20(20) – WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba
R2·Pick 6(37) – OLB Derick Hall
R2·Pick 21(52) – RB Zach Charbonnet
R4·Pick 6(108) – G Anthony Bradford
R4·Pick 21(123) – DT Cameron Young
R5·Pick 16(151) – DE Mike Morris
R5·Pick 19(154) – C Olu Oluwatimi
R6·Pick 21(198) – S Jerrick Reed II
R7·Pick 20(237) – RB Kenny McIntosh

In a draft with a record number of trades, John Schneider only managed one move and it was to give up a third round pick for a future third rounder. Did he miss on his evaluation of where certain position groups would come off the board? In some cases the Seahawks kicked off big runs on position groups. We discuss the philosophy behind this draft strategy, our favorite picks, and the only real grade you can give this year's draft.
