While half the league is already tripping over themselves for the 2027 NFL Draft’s top picks, your Seattle Seahawks are sitting pretty at a solid 2-1 after Week 3. It’s wild to see three of the five winless 0-3 teams, like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Chargers, projected to be division contenders just weeks ago. Talk about a brutal start to the season for some.
The Early Tankers and Their Dream Picks
The Bucs are currently staring down the barrel of the No. 1 overall pick for 2027. Houston, Tennessee, the Chargers, and Miami are all right there in the top five, all at 0-3. Seriously, who saw this coming from teams like Houston, Tampa Bay, and those Chargers? They were supposed to be scrapping for the top of their divisions, not battling it out for the top of the draft board. This early season collapse has everyone talking quarterbacks for 2027, but if these teams stay this bad, we’re talking about game-changers like Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith or Texas edge-rusher Colin Simmons. Smith’s already stacked 617 yards and seven touchdowns on 33 receptions through just four college games. He just went off for 12 catches, 217 yards, and four touchdowns last Saturday, setting career highs across the board. Imagine a guy like that catching passes from Justin Herbert in LA, or giving C.J. Stroud a true number one in Houston. He’s got that franchise-altering talent.
Hawks Flying High While Others Scramble
Then you have Colin Simmons, who just proved why he’s a top defensive force. Five sacks in one game for the Longhorns? A sack in three out of four games? Plus a fumble recovery and a forced fumble? That dude is disruptive. He’d make any defense better, whether you’re a contender or trying to rebuild. But here’s the kicker, 12s, we’re not talking about those kinds of players for *our* team’s top pick. No sir. While those teams are dreaming of potential saviors to fix their early season woes, your Seahawks are sitting all the way down at No. 24 in the projected draft order. And guess what? That’s exactly where we want to be right now. Why? Because it means we’re winning.
Being 2-1 after Week 3 puts us firmly outside that early draft discussion, which is exactly the kind of early trend you want to see. This team isn’t tanking for a pick; they’re grinding for wins. While the rest of the league watches which teams completely fall apart, we’re watching the Hawks build something real. It’s still early, but that 2-1 record is a statement. Let’s keep this momentum rolling and show the league that the Emerald City isn’t just a place to visit, it’s a place where winners play.
