Why the Seahawks not adding a quarterback through the draft shouldn’t be surprising

Barring something dramatic, one of Geno Smith or Drew Lock will be the starting quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks in the 2022 season. When Russell Wilson was traded in March, it was only logical to assume that Seattle would try and add to its QB room beyond just the acquisition of Lock. Well it obviously didn’t turn out that way despite numerous opportunities from Rounds 1-4 to take, say, Malik Willis or Desmond Ridder or Sam Howell.

You may be a little disappointed (or not) but you shouldn’t be surprised. This is how the previous “rebuild/retool” under Pete Carroll and John Schneider went for two seasons.
