Why is that hilarious? Because after whining for years about the Pack’ not taking a wideout in Round 1 of the draft, Rodgers would get to watch (presumably from New York) while his former team took the first wide receiver off the board with the 15th overall pick. Hilariously, the Aaron Rodgers-less Green Bay Packers were considered the best team fit. Ohio State’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the first man up. The wide receiver matches are what the 12s care about though, if only because that’s where Bowen stopped swiping left every time the Seahawks logo popped up on a prospect’s screen. Interestingly, Texas A&M’s Devon Achane was the only other running back that Bowen listed as a “top playmaker.” For Gibbs, the Patriots got the nod at #46. In Bijan’s case, Bowen matched him with the Falcons at #8. That’s not to say that neither one is a match for the Seahawks, just that Bowen viewed another team as a “better” match. Sadly, Bowen didn’t match Seattle with either Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs.

It’s behind the ESPN+ paywall, but Matt Bowen matched the 15 prospects from the 2023 NFL Draft that he considers “the top playmakers” with their “best team fit” and the Seattle Seahawks made the cut.
