The 2023 NFL season is over with the Kansas City Chiefs once again winning the Super Bowl. Do the Seattle Seahawks seem that far away from the teams that made deep postseason runs? Sure, Seattle has to fix its run defense at least, but that might mostly be resolved through improved schematic changes. New head coach Mike Macdonald might not be expected to win the Super Bowl in his first season (I hope people do not expect that to happen at least), but he should make the defense better. With a slightly improved defense, the team might get into the playoffs. Anything can happen there. But to help the defense get better, Seattle needs to add young talent in the 2024 NFL draft. For this mock draft, I used Pro Football Focus' (subscription required) mock simulator and did not offer or accept any trades. I was tempted to take quarterback Bo Nix at pick 16, but I passed. Seattle has greater defensive needs so I started there.
