If the Seahawks draft a quarterback, Pete Carroll says Geno Smith ‘is gonna take it in stride’
and there is absolutely a chance that one of the top quarterback prospects will be available by the time Seattle is on the clock. Anthony Richardson and Will Levis are the two quarterbacks who have been projected to Seattle by mock drafters, as it’s expected that Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud will be off the board by #5.
“That opportunity is absolutely there. We can do whatever we need to do, which is a whole other discussion of what’s really exciting,” Carroll said. “The coaches are working at it and the scouts are working at it to try to position this thing. When you’re at 5, this is different than we’re used to seeing now. This is really fun because you can pretty much predict what’s going to happen with four different choices , so which one is it? We’re alive and all guns are blazing here.
The Seahawks have seldom drafted quarterbacks under Pete Carroll and John Schneider. They obviously drafted Russell Wilson but then didn’t take another quarterback until Alex McGough in 2018, and that’s everyone under PC/JS. Of course, they’re usually not high up in the draft order, and there will be a run of QBs off the board by the time the top-10 is complete.
