Seattle Seahawks 2023 Mock Draft: All the offense!

Seahawks Round 3 Pick 83: Jack Campbell, LB, Iowa

To finish out Day Two of the NFL draft for the Seahawks, we selected Mr. Reliable Jack Campbell to reunite with his Hawkeye brother Van Ness.

While there are other linebackers that may be more flashy or can get a bunch of sacks, it’ll be hard to find a more dependable middle linebacker in this class than Captain Jack. A consensus All-American, Campbell combined for 265 tackles in his final two seasons, while grading out as one of the best pass coverage linebackers in all of college football.

Campbell reads holes and finishes better than Cody Barton ever could and appears to be better in pass coverage than Brooks showed last year. With this pick, the middle linebacker spot should go to Campbell, with an eventually healthy Brooks sliding over.

Conclusion

Strong chance you hate this mock, and I get that. The Seahawks didn’t get a premier D-lineman or quarterback like all the mocks are projecting. But you have to admit, this draft class is fun as hell! Not one, but two potential number 1 wide receivers to pair with DK and Lockett, a dominating offensive trench boost with Schmitz and Washington, and two solid Day 1 starters in the front seven of the defense.

With some roster cuts, and today’s 3 picks, I believe there are multiple options where the Seahawks can improve at the defensive tackle spot (Deforest Buckner trade & restructure?), as well as look for a really good guard (Philly’s Isaace Seumalo?).

I may be called mad, but I believe there is some legitimate mad science here to prove that this draft class could lead the way to the Seahawks putting together an all-time offense, and potentially putting themselves on a similar path as those legendary Rams teams of old.
