The Seattle Seahawks absolutely handled the Arizona Cardinals, walking away with a dominant 31-7 victory to move to a sparkling 2-0 record. That perfect start means the Hawks are currently holding the very last pick, number 32 overall, in the 2027 NFL Draft if the season ended today. While some teams are already looking at college film to ease the pain of a rough start, our squad is proving that Mike Macdonald's era is all about winning, not rebuilding!
The League's 'Contenders' Are Already in the Draft Lottery
Can you believe some of these 0-2 teams? It’s wild compared to what everyone thought before the season started. The Houston Texans, a team many had pegged for big things, are sitting at 0-2 and would have the No. 1 overall pick if the season ended right now. And get this: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Chargers, two other clubs that were supposed to be way better, are also inside the top five after just two weeks. Sure, the draft order will totally change, but it’s a huge shock to see what were considered potential Super Bowl contenders mixed in with teams like the Tennessee Titans and Miami Dolphins, who everyone expected to struggle at the top of the draft order.
Here’s how the top of the 2027 NFL Draft order looks right now, with our Hawks way down at the bottom where we belong!
- 1. Houston (0-2)
- 2. Tampa Bay (0-2)
- 3. Tennessee (0-2)
- 4. Atlanta (0-2)
- 5. Los Angeles Chargers (0-2)
- …
- 32. Seattle (2-0)
While Others Hunt Prospects, We're Hunting Wins
While those teams are staring down the barrel of an 0-2 start, dreaming of college stars, we’re just focused on the next W. But for curiosity’s sake, who are these struggling teams looking at? Jeremiah Smith, an Ohio State wide receiver, is widely considered the best non-quarterback offensive prospect in the 2027 class. The dude already has 400 receiving yards and three touchdown catches through just three college games this season. Tampa Bay, who just lost generational receiver Mike Evans in the offseason, could eye Smith to pair with Emeka Egbuka. Houston might want him for their C.J. Stroud-led offense to support Nico Collins, who’s had injury issues.
Then there’s the quarterback class. Trinidad Chambliss, the Ole Miss quarterback, absolutely lit it up in Week 3, leading his team to a double-digit lead and sealing a victory with a touchdown rush after LSU tied the game in the fourth. He’s an older prospect, but super polished. The Atlanta Falcons, if Michael Penix Jr. or Tua Tagovailoa doesn’t work out, might snag him. Dante Moore, the Oregon quarterback, also had a bounce-back week with 280 yards and four touchdowns. Good for them, but honestly, we’re just pumped Sam Darnold and our guys are getting it done on the field.
The season is long, but man, what a start! With our offense cooking and Mike Macdonald’s defense flying around, our Hawks are showing everyone they mean business. We’re not worried about high draft picks when our team is playing this well. Let’s keep this momentum rolling and show the league what the Emerald City is all about!
