Seattle Seahawks

With nearly a month until the 2023 NFL Draft kicks off in Kansas City, the Seattle Seahawks remain one of the most fascinating teams to watch holding a top five pick with several different options at their disposal to bolster their roster.

Hosts Corbin Smith, Nick Lee, and Dallas Cooper examine best and worst case scenarios for Seattle at pick No. 5 overall, including what to do if Georgia's Jalen Carter remains on the board, which prospects would be ideal fits for the franchise, and which prospects would be deemed reaches.

The trio also examines whether or not star receiver Tyler Lockett finds himself on a Hall of Fame trajectory and rank the Seahawks five outside free agent signings so far based on value, positional importance, and upside.
