Good morning, 12s. Here's a look at what's out there today — Tuesday, November 21 — about your Seattle Seahawks.
CBS Sports Names Anthony Bradford A Top-10 Value Pick
In Round 4 of April's 2023 NFL Draft, Seattle selected LSU guard Anthony Bradford with pick No. 108. Josh Edwards of CBS Sports looks at the success of players selected on Day 3, ranking Bradford as a top-10 value selection through 11 weeks of the 2023 season.
The 6-4 Seahawks have shuffled through a multitude of offensive line starter combinations thanks to injuries, with Bradford serving as one of 10 linemen to start a game for Seattle this season. Bradford has started four games in his rookie season, coming in at right guard as veteran Phil Haynes battled through injury. Edwards ranks Bradford at No. 9 on the list, earning a spot as one of three rookie linemen to be recognized. The CBS Sports analyst breaks down Bradford's selection.
9.**Anthony Bradford**, OG,**Seahawks**: Round 4, No. 108 overall
Bradford started four games at right guard while Phil Haynes was unable. His play was not always pretty, but it was effective. According to TruMedia, he gave up zero sacks on 187 pass blocking snaps and has been beaten on 3.2% of opponent's drop backs. The LSU product was even more proficient in the run game. Starting caliber offensive linemen found on Day 3 of the NFL Draft are very valuable.
Despite going undrafted, wideout Jake Bobo is listed as an honorable mention. Bradford and the Seahawks prepare for the short week ahead, as they prepare to take on the San Francisco 49ers in Thursday's Thanksgiving home matchup.
