The preponderance of Seaside Joe readers agree that it would be wrong for the Seahawks to draft a quarterback with the first pick. It would also be wrong if they didn't draft a QB somewhere. I believe the Seahawks look at Drew Lock as a rookie QB all be it one on a second chance. Geno Smith is holding out for a better contract than league min. I would suggest to Geno sign before the draft. Geno is a millionaire with out ever playing football, so this is for the love of the game. I really don't see why anybody would want to waiste a 1st round pick on a QB. At nine there are franchise cornerstones just not at QB. Victoria Chris

Soooooo? Does "all of the above" mean that the Seahawks 'front office and head coach' are backing away from their original plans for "this year?" Look it up.

A tangent... I'd like a post where you discuss the tipping point for for aquiring or retaining players such as DK Metcalf. How do you appraise the level of team talent required to invest significant resourses in a single player? Does an A quality player balance a C quality player or do they all need to be at least a B?

Pete has always approached talent by looking for what they can do, not what they can't. How do you rate a player that has a specific talent that fills a need within the team's structure but isn't as good of an overall player as an opponent?

How do you know when the team has accumulated a level of talent that warrants "all in" status? It's not just wins, look at the Hawks 12-4 season. You and commenters have posited that the Hawks haven't been true contenders since 2015. So how do you know when you've reached at least the base camp for the climb to the top?

QB or not QB,that is the? Use one of the(traded for) 6th round picks for QB competition. The rest of the draft dedicate to build around McCall-2023...my humble opinion🤗

Ok you mean team support or supporting cast. I get that I may have mis read or understood system. Of course we need help everywhere but safety our back ups are pretty good and punter. Victoria Chris
