Did the Seattle Seahawks ace the 2023 NFL Draft when looking back in retrospect three years later?
The Seahawks selected 10 players in the draft that year, including Devon Witherspoon, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Derick Hall, Zach Charbonnet, Anthony Bradford, Cameron Young, Mike Morris, Olu Oluwatimi, Jerrick Reed II and Kenny McIntosh. The amount of talent that Seattle walked away with is astounding in hindsight.
According to CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco in his regrading of the 2023 draft, the Seahawks were given an ‘A+’ for the haul that they came away with in all seven rounds after initially getting a ‘B+’ in the immediate aftermath of the event.
Witherspoon was named a second-team All-Pro honoree in 2025 and has become one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. Smith-Njigba, a two-time 1,000-yard receiver, had a prolific season in 2025 that culminated in him winning the AP NFL Offensive Player of Year award.
Hall has been a relentless pass rusher for the Seahawks in his career, while Charbonnet has given Seattle a talented running back capable of recording volume yardage in the ground game.
Bradford is not the most lauded of the bunch and has been criticized for his play, but the Seahawks did come away with a center that they’ve used as a starter and a reserve with Oluwatimi. McIntosh went for 172 rushing yards in 2024 before missing the entire 2025 season with a torn ACL.
Morris has recorded 26 total tackles and two tackles for loss in three seasons with Seattle. Reed II and Young are no longer with the team.
The Seahawks have several elite players and key starters that all come from the draft in 2023. Nothing less than a perfect grade is warranted for the front office for its work in the event.
