Its been a fun season guys

[MrS]

True and if they're not there in the 3rd round than so be it.
Dillion Gabriel too me is a better version of Bo Nix. Yes has some flaws but solid numbers at Oklahoma and his 1yr at Oregon.
Jaxson Dart seems to have improved his final 2 seasons and his int's were low last year and this past season.
Other option is FA QB
We're really stuck in the middle.

I like either QB in the championship in round 5.

Both are fine but not my 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice.

You never know with QB’s though, the scouts can say it’s a down year overall, but a future HOF QB could be sitting there.. It’s not a perfect science, , or Tom Brady would have went number one, and no way Russ makes it to the 3rd round… Hell we thought Rick Mirer was the next Joe Montana, scouts were all over him saying what a stud he was ..

Back in the Bledsoe/Mire days there was ZERO reason for them to compare Mire to Montana and only did so because of where they played. Drew was ALWAYS the #1 and people would always try to find some reason to say "well mire could go #1" Just because of the false connections of Mire to Montana. Everyone wanted Bledsoe and Mire was just over hyped. Mire was a flawed player Bladsoe wasn't ( Montana wasn't )

Right but you only know they’re truly flawed by seeing them play at the next level, sometimes scouts miss the best QB’s coming out … Montana for example wasn’t drafted high, neither was Brady, or Russ for that matter… Gems can be found even when the scouts say no gems are there …

Sure but usually they turn out to be another rock. The gems are rare and the rocks common. Nothing wrong with hoping as long as you realize the odds are against it.

That’s true, but you gotta take the chance sometimes, something we haven’t done for a LONG time … John seems to have a pretty good eye for QB’s, so maybe he’s targeting someone even if it’s not a top pick …

I think JS isnt targeting anyone. Wilson was a pretty much no brainer. He was talented and one of the most NFL ready QB in the Draft but he was 5 foot 10 THATS why he wasnt drafted high. Even when he was drafted people said " If he was 6 foot plus he would have been a first round pick". After the Wilson success other teams then took chances on "Talented" but smaller QB's.

Statistically though, same applies to 1st Rd QBs the last 30 years. Being "1st Rd talents" entering a draft doesn't automatically make them any better NFL QBs than guys going later.

Bottom line is you just have to keep trying until you find one, and you won't know until he's already here.

A lot of times quarterbacks are a product of the system. That’s how Russell Wilson was for us at the time. Matt Hasselback, DK as well… Russ was a third round pick and Hass was a sixth round pick (I know we traded for him) Dave Kreig was undrafted. Those were our three best quarterbacks in franchise history… You find the right quarterback that fits your system, he’s probably gonna be set up pretty well… Hass and Russ weren’t great quarterbacks, they weren’t highly talented coming out of college, but they fit our system perfectly, were very strong leaders and won football games for us….

While I feel certain systems fit better for some QB I don't think RW was a product of the system. Think he could of succeeded in other systems. Heck I'm not even sure the system the first couple of years were even beneficial to RW, run, run, OK Russ throw (or run) for a first down, in a system that didn't scheme anyone open. RW was a talent coming out of college, just on the short side (which is a hindrance). What benefited RW was Pete willingness to let him learn while playing (starting) and taking the bad with the good with a rookie QB and sticking with him.
At the moment the Seahawks don't have a system, don't even have a OC. Every draft holds the possibility of a late round QB emerging but they definitely always include a slew of QBs that just don't make it in the NFL. A ton of luck involved in hitting on a QB late in the draft and some drafts have zero QBs in the entire draft that turn out to be a franchise type.

No guarantees regardless of where the QB were drafted, but the odds favor 1st round QBs statistically. I do agree you have to keep trying and approve of how the Packers would take flyers on QBs in drafts even when they were set at QB, but they were selective at the same time and didn't just draft a QB just for the sake of drafting a QB.
