The Seattle Seahawks are making great use of their two first round picks in the 2023 NFL draft. First up was cornerback Devon Witherspoon. Fan reactions online to Witherspoon were a bit mixed, mostly due to an expectation of potentially drafting Jalen Carter.
However, this is most assuredly not the case with Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The reactions are overwhelmingly positive, and they should be. Smith-Njigba missed almost all of last season with a hamstring injury, but when healthy, he is a force of nature.
The Seahawks were in need of a legitimate No. 3 receiver, and they have found one.
JSN is an absolute STEAL at 20

Hawks receiving core is SCARY

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett and DK Matcalf is certainly a fun trio.
Helluva start to the draft for the #Seahawks.

Well, I would have gone defense again, but I freakin LOVE Jaxon Smith-Njigba! Every time I watched Ohio State, he was insane (including in his college debut).
