ESPN picks 2 Seahawks for their All-Youngster Team

Fans should take some comfort knowing that the team has a strong and young nucleus to build around.

Things are looking pretty bleak for the Seattle Seahawks right now. The team has lost three of four games, with their only win coming by a field goal against one of the worst teams in the league. It’s not about to get any better either, as their next three opponents are currently ranked third, second and first in our most recent NFL power rankings.

While it’s tough to be excited about the rest of this season, fans should take some comfort knowing that the team has a strong and young nucleus to build around. If nothing else, their last two top draft picks look like they’re going to be really good for a long time.

That would be left tackle Charles Cross and cornerback Devon Witherspoon. Both have been named to ESPN’s All-Youngster Team for 2023, which ranks players under 24 years old.

Cross earned second-team honors at left tackle behind Penei Sewell of the Lions. Witherspoon was also second-team at cornerback, while top honors went to Sauce Gardner of the Jets.

Seattle is fortunate to have these two cornerstones at critical positions – and they have a few other solid candidates, as well. Other Seahawks youngsters who should have a shot at this list include running back Ken Walker, who’s been limited by an unimaginative rushing attack and substandard blocking. There’s also wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who had a slow start to his rookie year but we expect him to be recognized as one of the NFL’s best young pass catchers by the end of the season.

The Seahawks also have some slightly-older players at key spots who have a lot of promise, including cornerback Riq Woolen (24), right tackle Abe Lucas (25) and wide receiver DK Metcalf – who will turn 26 next month.

That’s a good number of quality young players for a roster that also has a healthy number of high-performing veterans. The last few weeks have proven that this team is not a Super Bowl contender as of yet, but that puzzle is only missing a few pieces.

While the 31-13 loss is a bummer, it’s important to take away the positives as well as the negatives. Seattle got more quality football from their young core, especially from second-year left tackle Charles Cross and rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon, as well as rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Best and worst PFF grades for the Seahawks from Week 11

Here are PFF’s top and bottom five grades for Seattle on both sides of the ball this week.

The Seahawks lost a heartbreaker to the Rams on Sunday, shooting themselves in the foot several times before they went down by a score of 17-16. Hard as it is to see right now, they did still get several encouraging signs from their young roster.

For one thing, rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon continues to make an enormous impact for such a young player at his position. He earned the highest Pro Football Focus grade for the Seahawks defense this week. On the other side of the ball, the team’s previous top-10 draft pick didn’t do too bad either, as left tackle Charles Cross got their highest grade on offense.

Nevertheless, let’s try to salvage some sunshine from this situation. The Seahawks got strong performances from several of their most-important players, including Charles Cross and the cornerbacks. Here are 12 solid individual Pro Football Focus grades for Seattle this week.
