Seahawks take Nick Marsh No. 31 in CBS Sports' early 2027 mock draft

The Seattle Seahawks have every reason to be confident in the receiving corps that they have at the present, but the 2027 NFL Draft class has highly-touted wide receivers for the team to take a serious look at over the course of the next year. According to CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson, the Seahawks select Indiana wide receiver Nick Marsh with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.

"At 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, he looks like the natural replacement for Elijah Sarratt (and like Sarratt, he lined up outside about 95% of the time)," Wilson said. "Despite his size, Marsh can put his foot in the ground and get in and out of breaks, creating separation at the route stem. Like Sarratt, he won't consistently create separation on vertical routes, but he has legit contested-catch and YAC ability, and he uses his frame to shield defenders.

" Marsh went for 662 receiving yards and six REC touchdowns in 2025 at Michigan State before transferring to Indiana. He recorded 649 REC yards the year prior in 2024. The Seahawks will be in good hands with the 2025 AP Offensive Player of the Year, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as well as Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed at receiver next season.

However, Kupp approaches his age-33 season in 2026 after recording his lowest receiving yards total since his second season in the league with 593 REC yards in 2025. He's also suffered multiple injuries since winning the AP Offensive Player of the Year award in 2021. Marsh is a highly-regarded wide receiver that the Seahawks have the chance to see on the board in the draft next year, prior to Kupp's contract year in 2027.
