The Seattle Seahawks made quite the splashy pick at No. 20 overall with Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Not only is it flashy, but it is a position of need. Seattle needed to bolster their wide receiver depth, and they picked a young man who will fit this role flawlessly.
The overall numbers are a bit deceiving, as Smith-Njigba missed practically all of 2022 with a hamstring injury. But his 2021 season was as sight to behold. In 13 games, Smith-Njigba had 95 receptions for 1,606 yards and nine touchdowns for the Buckeyes. That year he earned a 91.7 overall grade from Pro Football Focus.
