The surprised the world in 2022, and they are set up to build on that succe s in 2023. Thanks to the trade, the Seahawks have some extra ammo to use in the 2023 , and they should be excited considering how they fared in last year's draft.John Schneider worked some magic, finding an immediate Pro Bowler in cornerback , two starting tackles in and and a talented running back in . The whole draft cla s from top to bottom was probably the best in the last year. With another strong cla D'Angelo Russell Jersey  s like that, who knows how far Seattle could go?Thanks to , we were able to run through a full 2023 acting as Seattle's front office. Let's see how we fared.Round 1, Pick 5 (from DEN)Round 1, Pick 20Round 2, Pick 37 (from DEN)Round 2, Pick 52Round 3, Pick 83Round 4, Pick 123Round 5, Pick 151 (from PIT)Round 5, Pick 154Round 6, Pick 198Round 7, Pick 237Prospect ranking (overall): 6Position rank: 2Wilson is an absolute monster off the edge, and Seattle could definitely use a potentially elite pa s rusher. The Texas Tech product recorded the most pre sures in the Big 12 last year with 50 despite mi sing three games. He had the highest pre sure rate in the conference as well (20.7%). The defensive line is something that the Seahawks will focus on later this month, and we aren't done yet either.  Prospect ranking (overall): 11Position rank: 1I was shocked to see Skoronski still available at No. 20 overall. That probably won't happen later this month, but I wasn't going to pa s on him in this simulation either. Skoronski played left tackle at Northwestern, but many believe he will move inside to guard at the next level. He allowed just one sack and six pre sures in 457 pa s-blocking snaps last season. His 1.3-percent pre sure rate was tied for best in the Big Ten. Anthony Edwards Jersey Prospect ranking (overall): 51Position rank: 6Don't let the prospect rankings fool you, a couple of our CBS Sports experts believe Mazi Smith could be a first-round pick. He's a 6-foot-3, 323-pound athletic nose tackle that can stop the run, but also rush the pa ser from the inside. Smith was a consensus First Team All-Big Ten player in 2022, and was named Michigan's Defensive Player of the Year. The 34 bench pre s reps he put up at the combine were tied for the second-most of any player, and No. 1 among defensive tackles.Prospect ranking (overall): 46Position rank: 5Some will not like Downs just because of his slim frame, but CBS Sports' pro comparison for him is a guy by the name of . Downs is fast, equally quick and capable of creating after the catch. The Biletnikoff Award Semifinalist ranks second in the nation in receptions (195) and third in receiving yards (2,364) over the past 2 FBS seasons. He leaves UNC  Malik Beasley Jersey as one of the best receivers in program history.  Prospect ranking (overall): 47Position rank: 2CBS Sports' pro comparison for Henley is , which should excite some people. Like JOK, Henley is a long, athletic linebacker that can make a difference in coverage, and plays with a high level of effort. He may be a steal in the third round. I would gue s Henley can play outside linebacker or inside.Prospect ranking (overall): 44Position rank: 8Bennett and Maryland teammate Deonte Banks lit up the combine earlier this offseason, and likely became the . Bennett ran a 4.30 40-yard dash, which was the second-fastest among cornerbacks. He was also in the top five among corners in the 10-yard split (1.48 secs), vertical (40.5") and broad jump (11'1"). His 29 pa ses defensed over the last two seasons rank most in the FBS.Prospect ranking (overall): 94Position rank: 4Ah, one of the most popular draft crushes this year, and I bet Spears goes before No. 151 overall. The Tulane back recorded 1,837 scrimmage yards and 21 total touchdowns in 2022. While he's just 5-foot-9, Spears is a hard runner. I mean, 1,052 of his rushing yards came after contact. Against USC in the Cotton Bowl, he exploded for 205 rushing yards and four touchdowns on just 17 carries Ashton Hagans Jersey ! Spears and Walker could provide quite the dynamic one-two punch.  Prospect ranking (overall): 239Position rank: 1Maybe Gaines could eventually be the Seahawks' long-term center. He po se ses the kind of center/guard versatility teams value. At 6-foot-4, 300 pounds, Gaines played right guard, center and even some right tackle at UCLA. The offensive line is important for Seattle. Paving lanes for Walker and keeping Geno on his feet is key to succe s.Prospect ranking (overall): 56Position rank: 10Redmond would be a defensive end in Seattle's scheme. He closed out 2022 with three sacks and five tackles for lo s in his final four games, and then ran a 4.81 40-yard dash at the combine. That was the fifth-fastest time by a player 290-plus pounds since 2018.Prospect ranking (overall): 276Position rank: 17Tight end was a position I forgot about in the Juan Hernangomez Jersey  heat of the moment, but the draft is about acquiring talent with value in mind, and I feel like I did a good job of that with all of these picks. That includes Mr. Davis Allen. He's a former basketball player who lined up in several different positions for the Clemson Tigers, and knows how to high-point a ball in tight coverage.
