Despite Geno Smith‘s resurgent campaign in his first season with the Seahawks, head coach Pete Carroll admitted Seattle is mulling all options when it comes to the 2023 draft, including potentially drafting a quarterback. 

During a media address on Tuesday, Carroll described the Seahawks as being "totally connected" to the top quarterbacks in the draft, via Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. 

“We’re totally connected to the quarterbacks that are coming out. This is a really huge opportunity for us. It’s a rare opportunity—we’ve been drafting in the low 20s for such a long time you just don’t get the chance with some of these guys. So we’re deeply involved with all that,” said Carroll.

I'd say Seattle might be a wildcard in this draft also. Geno is a one-year wonder at this point and they could be looking to their potential future franchise QB as well.

I watched his press conference live and I came away with that impression.

Geno seemed sharper at the beginning of season than at the end.  

Might be an age factor or not having had to play an entire season for quite some time.

Either way, Pete Carroll is smart to explore the Seahawks options at QB.

If for no other reason than to remind Geno that he's not the only fish in the sea.

Yeah, while this could just be Pete being cagey about the Seahawks intentions, there is more than just a little truth in what he's saying.  

Kinda sucks, because I was hoping Seattle would be a potential trade partner if the Panthers decided to move up in the draft.  Now the Seahawks appear more likely to be in direct competition for the same players.

Nope. This is Love’s fourth year now. Aaron Rodgers, like Tom Brady is a unicorn in terms of a legit QB star who took years to become a starter. Just like I don’t believe Purdy is the next Brady.

We are all familiar with coach speak and many people thought Love was over drafted back in 2020. If the Packers got pick 4, I think they go QB. Honestly, the drop off of non-QBs is huge from 3 to 4.

Agreed.  If they get to 4, the smart thing is to draft a QB.  Sit him for a year and let Love start.  If Love goes nuts, you have him for year 5 and the tag, year 5 to solidify his playing ability, or cut him after year 4 and let the rook take over for the next 4 years.

The Packers are one of the very few teams who REALLY plan for their next QB.  Smart, as it's the most important ingredient to baking this cake.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
