The Seattle Seahawks return to the field on Thursday for the start of training camp and they are not expected to have their first-round pick. According to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter, the Seahawks and cornerback Devon Witherspoon have not been able to come together on a contract which leaves him the only pick from the 2023 NFL draft unsigned.
Seattle selected Witherspoon out of Illinois with the No. 5 overall pick. Given how the NFL slots draft picks, we aren’t sure why there would be much holdup at this point. Looking at last season’s draft, the numbers are fairly straightforward.
