A new report has detailed the specific players the Seattle Seahawks selected using the draft capital acquired in the blockbuster trade of Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, according to @AdamSchefter.
Per the report, the Seahawks utilized the picks from the Wilson exchange to draft key foundational pieces for their current roster. These selections include left tackle Charles Cross, who was taken as a 2022 first-round pick, and outside linebacker Boye Mafe, who was selected in the second round of the same year. The report emphasizes that while Wilson helped lead Seattle to its first Super Bowl title, the assets gained from his departure have played a direct hand in building the team's current iteration.
The Seahawks received a significant haul of picks from the Broncos in the deal, which the organization has used to address high-priority positions on both sides of the ball. Charles Cross and Boye Mafe represent the early wave of talent brought in to stabilize the franchise following the transition at the quarterback position. The confirmed list of players highlights the long-term strategy employed by the front office in the wake of the trade.
