The defensive prospects the Seahawks may pick in Round 1 of the NFL draft

RENTON, Wash. -- The further down the first-round order, the harder it typically is for teams and draft analysts to know which players will be available at a given spot. That’s been the reality for the Seattle Seahawks, who have routinely picked in the 20s in 13 drafts under general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll.

So logically, they should have a much better feel than usual for what their options will look like once they’re on the clock at No. 5 overall when the 2023 NFL draft begins Thursday (8 p.m. ET on ESPN, ABC, ESPN App).
