Seattle had big needs at Defensive tackle, and they drafted a CB in the top 5. When already having one of the best Secondaries in football. And Pete the DB
Whisperer develops them in his sleep.
They have ditched the need approach after the consistent epic failures of the previous near decade of drafting.
They now just draft the best player. They drafted JSN next, because they were shocked he was still on the board. They had him as a top 10 player. Even though they already had 2 Pro-Bowl WRs with nice depth behind them.
They then drafted an Edge guy in the 2nd, Hall--when they already had Nwosu, Mafe, and Taylor at the position. Because they had a 1st round grade on him.
Following that, they drafted a RB in the 2nd round when they already had K9.
Needs aren't an indicator anymore. They are going for the most talented players that fit, regardless if it is a perceived need or not.
With that, they gotta be thinking QB, not because they need one. But because this draft is rich with talent at the spot, and now would be a great time to take a shot, as the previous recent drafts left a lot to be desired from the position.
Having a QB at low cost for the next 4 years, can allow them to keep most of their talented team currently assembled intact. Very similar to how they constructed the team around a young, low cost Russell Wilson over a decade ago. From a roster building perspective it makes too much sense.
