On Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks finally did what everyone expected them to do: they addressed the trenches.
Four of their six choices on Saturday were either offensive or defensive linemen.
Let’s take a look at how things unfolded . . .
. . . and where it leaves the Seahawks and their division rivals now that the 2023 NFL Draft is officially in the books.
