Seahawks fans who aren’t sold on Jalen Carter should probably get used to him getting mocked to their team in the top five. The Georgia defensive tackle is the consensus No. 1 prospect in this class and the one that fits Seattle’s personnel needs best. That means between now and draft day we’re going to be hearing his name a lot. For now, let’s focus on the Seahawks’ other first-round pick.
Right now it’s No. 18 overall thanks to the Dolphins’ punishment for their Tom Brady, Sean Payton tampering. In a new 2023 mock draft from Doug Farrar at Touchdown Wire, Seattle takes Carter first, then Utah cornerback Clark Phillips III at 18.
