Ted’s Talk: A closer look at John Schneider’s quarterback draft history

Listening to Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider talk, you’d think he would draft a quarterback every year if he had the ability. This dates back to his history with former Green Bay Packers GM Ron Wolf, the man who gave Schneider his first job in the NFL. Wolf wasn’t shy about drafting QBs with the thought that they could be developed and provide value for the team as a future starter or tradeable asset.

Schneider laments the fact that he’s only drafted two QBs since he took the GM job in Seattle in 2010 – Russell Wilson in the third round in 2012 and Alex McGough in the seventh round in 2018.
