Seahawks consider QB at No. 5 amid Smith talks

Seahawks GM John Schneider said talks with Geno Smith thus far have been "positive," but the team still might draft a quarterback with the No. 5 pick.

At the very least he's giving teams something to think about.

Geno could very well be our best starting option for the next two or three years. They may not want to risk drafting a big name QB that has a higher probability of starting soon, and instead of for a guy who can learn behind Geno.

But I dunno shit about scouting and all that.

The Seahawks have the #5 overall. They would be stupid not to "consider" a quarterback.

Doesn't mean they will draft one though.

The one thing that PC and JS have done well is to leave no stone unturned. Whether we hear it in public or not, they do their due diligence. I think Geno's career year and there are so many QB hungry teams, it's great to look at all the options. Seahawks have no QBs on the roster currently - both Smith and Lock are UFAs.

This time of year, everything said by a GM or a Head Coach should be taken with a grain of salt, a big grain.

They would be dumb not to consider a QB. Geno staying or going is not totally in their hands. Gotta keep all options open.

If they like any of those top guys at 5 i hope that's the pick. Now with that said I'm not signing Geno for 3 years if we draft s QB at 5.

Carroll was trash talking last years QB class, saying that Lock was better than any of them. We didn't take a QB despite having no proven QB on our roster. Surprise, surprise we didn't take a QB.

I absolutely wouldn't be shocked if our 5th overall pick was a more raw QB like Levis or Richardson. Especially if they're not a fan of any of the defensive guys in that position.

Yeah. I think the most Seahawky DLine player outside of Will Anderson is probably Will McDonald.

Damn, i remember being blasted when I said PC and JS would draft a QB. I was called names and all that. Now, he is either trying to make teams ahead nervous or behind or i was correct.

Still doubt we take a QB that high, we have a player that will be signed in Geno, the window is probably two to three years before this guy will see the field which means late first or second round earliest in my opinion. Impact Defensive guy is more likely and that's even trading back. We are frugal with how we spend salary when it comes to our draft picks, they better be on the field if we take them that high for a return on investment, even if it is a rotational guy initially.
