2023 NFL Draft Big Board: Seattle Seahawks Edition


1-2.0.jpg

~350 players have been rated by choosing the Top 20-40 at each position and analyzing them individually. This is not a complete list of players and may include some that didn’t declare, but it should get about 90% of what we’ll see on draft weekend. If a known player is not listed, then I have them as a UDFA. The "#+" listed below reflects my estimation of the earliest pick in which the Seahawks should draft that player. For example, OTs were rated lower than they would have been last year, since there are already 2 starters on rookie deals. Positional value was also taken into consideration, for example, typically the #5 CB is going to be much higher rated than the #5 RB. Finally, the Draft Pick Value chart was used to determine draft position value. If you are not familiar with that value system, you can read about it here.

The prospects have been analyzed and graded for their ability to play the various roles needed to execute the schemes run by the Seahawks. In extremely generalized terms, the Seahawks are an 11 or 12 personnel, outside zone running, west coast passing style offense. On defense they play mostly 3-4 odd front nickel, with a single high bear base. For example, Myles Murphy is rated as a late 1st rounder, but if the Seahawks ran a traditional 4-3 he’d be a Top 15 prospect. Derek Hall is rated as a mid-1st round Edge player, but if the Seahawks ran the 4-3 he’d be a mid-2nd round OLB/DE prospect. The change in position based on scheme isn’t large because there are so many hybrid schemes run in the NFL. Finally, character and off-field actions were not considered, this is based on performance on the field and in the gym. This is a Seahawks Draft Board, not a Top 250 player list. If this was a draft board for the Detroit Lions it would be very different, so take the rankings for what they are.
