As a two year reader of Seaside Joe, I am 100% behind Grayson McCall. It might be a nerve racking day two pick waiting until the third or fourth round where we have two picks. I can see the Seahawks waiting until round 4 and giving Grayson a year or 2 if he needs it.

I have read some reports that Bryce Young and CJ Stroud are not round 1 Quarterbacks. I could be way off base but Young is a later round 1 pick, where as I don't think Stroud is an NFL quarterback, that's where I maybe way off base.

If things continue with Geno which by my eyeball they will, Seattle needs to sign him for three years and have wiggle room in year 3 that Grayson may take over. Geno physically is like a 26 year old who has been toning his body in the weight room for 8 years. He has taken some huge hits and bounced up like nothing happened. Just last week a man came open on the blitz, Geno was looking the other way and he got whacked. Either Geno saw him or felt him at the last second I don't know but he didn't fumble and bounced right up. He must have big hands ✋️!!! During the preseason all I saw from Geno was what seemed like check downs, I thought Drew was our best option. I guess there is so much more that we don't get to see. Without any shame I was WRONG, Geno is a top ten quarterback and is putting up great numbers and points. The most impressive thing is, he is a grown ass man leading his team. There is not one Seahawk player ,coach , receptionist, trainer that doesn't believe Geno couldn't win a Super Bowl. Count me in as a born again Geno follower. Let's get Joe's guy Grayson let him sit a year or two behind Geno

“Shouldn’t FIRST ROUND picks already be stars?“

The 2 best young QBs in the NFL weren’t stars. Allen wasn’t even great. So, maybe not. If the team seems something there, and can have the luxury of giving 1-2 redshirt years (as the Seahawks if we extend Geno, as did the Giants with Eli and Dan — didn’t work out, but process was okay, he turned out better than Haskins — and the Chiefs with Smith and Mahomes), go for it.

Another thing: genetics is really important in sport. Manning, Bosa, Watt, Metcalf, Diggs, all those are families that have more than one great name in the NFL. Maybe the great season by Tua is pumping his brother’s stock by proxy. I’d bet kaikaina gets drafted relatively early.
