garnered widespread praise for their sound process, one of the main storylines has been the team’s decision not to draft a quarterback following the Russell Wilson trade. At the moment, Drew Lock, Geno Smith, and Jacob Eason are the QB trio and rumors of a Baker Mayfield trade have clearly died down.on the decision to trade Wilson, as well as seemingly committing to Lock for this season.
“Maybe they are tired of being held hostage,” an exec said. “Do I think Drew Lock is the answer? No. Did Seattle do what they needed to do to cover themselves for the loss of Russell Wilson? Does any team ever do enough to cover itself for the loss of a Tier 1 quarterback? When you get a quarterback like that, you are expecting 10 wins when he walks in the building.
That second executive quote is interesting because they refer to Pete Carroll’s job security, and I tend to agree that the way the Seahawks have set themselves up all but assures that Carroll and Schneider aren’t going anywhere even if 2022 goes horribly wrong. For better or worse, I don’t think Pete and John are in trouble unless something completely off the rails happens because this looks like a two-year retooling based off the draft capital they received from Denver.
Now for something less speculative and more positive, this executive likes both the Charles Cross selection and the much-discussed Kenneth Walker III pick in Round 2. “I loved the tackle Seattle got and have no problem with the running back in the second round,” an exec said. “I’m much bigger on not paying a running back a large second contract because they peak early. I don’t mind taking one in the second round at all. Yes, you can and will find better players in later rounds, but in general, second-round players are better than fourth-round players.”
