NFL GM Power Rankings: Eagles' Howie Roseman reigns, while Brad Holmes makes his mark in Detroit
With the free agency frenzy in the rearview and the 2023 NFL Draft right around the corner, we're squarely in the middle of offseason roster reconstruction. Perfect time for Gregg Rosenthal to provide his annual GM Power Rankings! Who's No. 1?

9) John Schneider, Seattle Seahawks
It's great to see Schneider smiling again, even if I'm dubious about the Seahawks speed dating the draft's top prospects. Seattle's 2022 draft class could help keep Schneider smiling and employed another five years. He helped lock in two starting tackles, a top-shelf cornerback, a starting running back and two other contributors. The Seahawks' latest big-name forays into free agency (Bobby Wagner, Dre’Mont Jones) have made sense, even if the defensive line is still an issue.
Most importantly, Schneider and Pete Carroll executed one of the trades of the decade by unloading Russell Wilson for a massive haul at the perfect time, moving on from a franchise icon without having to rebuild. I'm not going to give the front office too much credit for Geno Smith's rise, seeing how he sat unsigned in free agency for more than a month last year, but the extension this year was a win-win for both sides. We'll have to see if the Seahawks ultimately replace Wilson with the Broncos' pick (No. 5 overall) they got in exchange for him, but it's been a great 12 months for Schneider regardless.
Pretty ridiculous. 7th should be his absolute floor, as having him behind Holmes and Gutekunst is lunacy. I can't believe how overrated the Lions have become in such a short period of time. I live in Michigan, and people talk about their 9-8 last season like they're the reigning Super Bowl champs.
