The Seattle Seahawks surprised many when they selected Byron Murphy, DL Texas with the 16th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday night to join an already dominant defensive front.

Byron Murphy II is headed for Seattle.
Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Seattle Seahawks did stay at No. 16 (despite some efforts to do otherwise, apparently) and make a pick. In the words of Seahawks general manager John Schneider, Seattle got themselves the best defensive player in the draft.
John Schneider said the #Seahawks had Byron Murphy II ranked as “the best defensive player in the draft.”...

The former Texas Longhorn is the first Seahawks draft pick under new head coach Mike Macdonald.
For the second straight season and fourth time in the last six, the Seattle Seahawks used their top pick of the NFL Draft on a defensive player. Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II was one of only nine defenders taken in Round 1, and he’s the latest addition to the Seahawks’ retooled interior front.
Draft call drop.

Penix went to the Atlanta Falcons at No. 8 overall.
The first surprise of the 2024 NFL Draft was the Atlanta Falcons drafting former Washington Huskies star quarterback Michael Penix Jr with the No. 8 overall pick. Penix’s stock rose considerably in recent weeks to the point where there was confidence that he’d be taken in the first round, but not necessarily that high.
Atlanta signed Kirk Cousins (off an Achilles tear, mind you!) to a...

Seattle took the consensus best interior defensive lineman in the draft.
The Seattle Seahawks once again remained in place with their top draft pick. No trade downs for a fifth consecutive NFL Draft, but for a third year in a row you could say they took one of the best (if not the best) players available.
At pick No. 16 and with the top six quarterbacks all taken well before Seattle was on the clock, the Seahawks took Texas...

Here’s where to follow along for all the updates on the first round of the draft as the Seahawks wait to come on the clock!
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time! You’ve sifted through countless mock drafts, watched hundreds of highlight videos and parsed the measurables of hundreds of draft-eligible prospects, and tonight’s the night it all goes out the window because John Schneider is going to draft someone that leaves you...
With the litany of offensive picks to open the night, a number of top defensive players were naturally going to slide. Seattle was able to land the top defensive tackle on the board at No. 16 overall.

Seattle did indeed address the trenches, adding a big name for the defensive front
After months of waiting the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is underway, and while things went as expected for the first few picks, there’s been no shortage of surprises.
The Atlanta Falcons made the most shocking of the surprise moves so far, selecting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick, in spite of having signed Kirk Cousins as a free agent...

The Seahawks add a playmaker to their defensive line!
The Seattle Seahawks have made their first selection of the Mike Macdonald era, and they used it to draft Texas Longhorns defensive tackle Byron Murphy II!
Murphy was considered the best defensive tackle in the draft, if not the best defensive player. With the first 14 picks coming off the board all on offense, Murphy feel into Seattle’s lap at No. 16 overall. The Seahawks...

After a historic run on offensive players, two consecutive defensive players are off the board. Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II is the latest, being taken by the Seattle Seahawks with the 16th overall pick.
The Seattle Seahawks could have gone a number of directions with their first round selection, but defensive tackle was not expected. However, it seems that John Schneider just went with the best player available still on the board by selecting Byron Murphy, DL from Texas.

The former Washington Huskies star is heading to the NFC South.
We have our first big surprise of the NFL Draft, and what a surprise it is.
The Atlanta Falcons were on the clock with the eight overall pick and they selected... Washington Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr! Not only is this major vote of confidence in the lefty passer who had a phenomenal season in 2023, but it also comes as a surprise given that he leapfrogged both JJ McCarthy and Bo...

The top of the NFL Draft has been about as QB-heavy as possible.
Anyone hoping the Seattle Seahawks would draft a quarterback at No. 16 or even a little bit further down in the 2024 NFL Draft... I have some bad news for you.
As expected, USC’s Caleb Williams went to the Chicago Bears at No. 1, followed by LSU’s Jayden Daniels at No. 2 to the Washington Commanders, and then North Carolina’s Drake Maye was taken at No. 3 by the New England...

You made your guesses, and now it’s time to follow along and see how many of the Seahawks picks you correctly predicted.
Every year fans take a shot at predicting who the Seattle Seahawks will select in the NFL draft by entering the Field Gulls Armchair GM Challenge, and every year fans submit their entry and then promptly forget who they chose. That, of course, leads to inquiries about whether or not it is possible to see the submissions somewhere so...

Seattle has a third-rounder, the same round in which Lockett was traded.
The NFL has made it a fairly recent tradition to have current and former players walk to the podium and announce picks on Day 2 of the draft. At the moment, the Seattle Seahawks will only have one pick (Round 3, No. 81) on Friday, which is fitting because the player who’s set to announce that selection was taken in that round.
Star wide receiver Tyler Lockett will have...

The Rams are reportedly angling for a big draft day trade.
The Los Angeles Rams are eight years removed from their last first-round selection. Now that they’re finally involved again on Day 1 of the NFL Draft, it looks like they’re looking to take a big swing.
The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports that the Rams, who are currently No. 19 in the draft order, are angling for a leap into the top-10.

Trade up? Trade down? Stand pat? And then who will the Seahawks draft with their first pick? We make our predictions.
It’s Day 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit. The Seattle Seahawks are slated to pick at No. 16 overall, but it’s far from a guarantee that they’ll stay there. We could see our first trade down from Seattle’s top pick since 2019, and it isn’t far-fetched to think the Seahawks could skip the first-round entirely. A trade-up...
