The Seattle Seahawks are saying good issues about their guys in a post-Russell Wilson quarterback room. (And, even with Drew Lock and Geno Smith battling for the highest spot, they’re always scouring for throwing talent.)
However specialists are starting to venture that they’ll say even nicer issues as soon as they land a prime spot within the 2023 NFL Draft.
That may not be GM John Schneider’s current plan. However, nonetheless, it may be his group’s rebuilding actuality.
Luke Easterling at Draft Wire has created a 2023 NFL mock draft and has Seattle touchdown within the No. 3 slot, watching the Houston Texans take Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud first total … after which the Seahawks settling in to land their very own elite QB prospect in Alabama’s Bryce Younger two spots later.
It’s early sufficient, in fact, that we’re solely pretending to know that the Texans and Seahawks shall be this dangerous in 2022. And we’re solely pretending to know that the elite standing of those two prospects will maintain up as nicely.

However we are going to say this about Stroud: If he’s a greater prospect than Younger – who has spent his whole lifetime as a blue-chip man – he should actually be one thing.
As a result of Younger is already establishing that, as greatest he can, as the present Crimson Tide quarterback has been one of many prime prospects within the nation for years.
Younger was a 5-star recruit popping out of Mater Del Excessive Faculty in Santa Ana, California, was the No. 2 participant nationally within the class of 2020, and exploded onto the scene as a sophomore in 2021, finishing 67 % of his passes for 4,872 yards, 47 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions whereas including one other three scores as a runner.
Oh, and he received the Heisman Trophy as nicely.
Smith and Lock get to have their say now as Seattle QBs.
But when the protections are correct, the Seahawks are only a 12 months away from hiring a rightful inheritor to Russell Wilson in Seattle.
