In the 3rd round of the 1976 draft the Seahawks selected both a kicker and a punter. It seems kind of a waste by today's draft logic, but I can get the idea that if you have that many extra draft picks, it makes sense to try to draft the best special teams you can, which would be of big help for an expansion team. The real problem is that kicker only lasted 3 games, and Rick Engles, the punter, was cut after 1 year and 1 game.
B.J. Daniels was the 3rd QB for 6 weeks in 2013. He was even activated for a game but didn't play. He's now the 4th QB on the off-season roster so his odds of sticking around appear to be long.
I've given the MVP to two QBs so far who managed to win 1 game in their brief Seahawk careers. Unfortunately, Charlie Frye was 12 for 23 with only 83 yards and 2 picks in a loss to Green Bay. He did, however throw a TD pass to Keary Colbert, something no other Seahawk QB ever did.
Therefore, the award goes to Ruben Rodriguez, the Ryan Plackemeier of his time.
