With two and a half weeks remaining until the 2023 NFL Draft takes place in Kansas City, and the draft boards for teams across the league are working their way into final form. For the Seattle Seahawks, holders of a pair of first round picks in the upcoming draft, the opportunity to add blue chip talent early in the draft for the first time in more than a decade is a unique experience. That applies to both the team and fans, as it has been a long, long time since fans have even been able to realistically dream about potentially adding top ten talent to the roster.

That said, with the Hawks holding the fifth pick in the draft thanks to the trade that sent Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos and the ineptitude of since-fired, rookie head coach Nate Hackett, there is plenty to debate in the coming weeks. Many of the topics set to be debated are not new, and many are the same topics which have been discussed at length by fans and media alike, including the draftability of Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter.
