8 grades for Seattle Seahawks rookies from the 2023 NFL season

You can make a case for the Chargers, but the Seahawks are the hottest destination among the teams that had an NFL head coach opening in this hiring cycle. While they dont have a young top-five QB like Justin Herbert they do have a high-value veteran in Geno Smith and a roster that is loaded with young playmakers on both sides of the ball.

The team’s 2023 rookie class is more proof of that, as Seattle landed a superstar at cornerback, a potential Pro Bowler at wide receiver and a couple other strong depth pieces, as well. Here’s how we graded out eight Seahawks rookies who saw significant playing time this season.
