Sunday's win against the Washington Redskins not only sent the Seattle Seahawks to the next round of the NFL playoffs, it also moved them further down the 2013 NFL draft order.
Following the Wild Card round, the first 24 picks in the draft have been set. If the Seahawks had lost to Washington, they would have received the No. 24 pick. Instead, with the win, they are guaranteed to pick no earlier than No. 25. If Seattle wins on Sunday against Atlanta, the Seahawks would pick no earlier than No. 29.
The Seahawks' win against the Redskins also benefited one of Seattle's NFC West foes. The St. Louis Rams own the rights to Washington's first -ound pick as a result of last year's trade involving Robert Griffin III. By eliminating the Redskins, Seattle ensured St. Louis of a higher draft pick. The Rams own the No. 16 pick in the draft and will pick at No. 22 with Washington's pick.
