They should start looking for the next Wentz, Goff, Watson, or Mahomes. Let Wilson teach the future Seahawks QB.

IMHO, RW would flourish under those offensive minds (coaches). Not that RW hasn't had a commendable first 6 seasons.

Getting a win next week would be a nice dose of penicillin.

We'd have to spend a high first round pick. Unless we tank this year that means trading picks when we are light on them anyway this year.

Great question, however the NFL sadly isn't holding a draft at the moment. The next NFL draft should occur at the end of April in 2019 so this is probably a good topic to revisit then.

Let the new coach draft "his" guy.

Russ and his agent got all bent when JS scouted Josh Allen. I don't know how he'd react to being asked to mentor his eventual replacement.

The Seahawks should always be looking to develop QB's behind Russell Wilson. If one of them even shows a modicum of promise, it could mean a second round draft pick or higher. The Seahawks have not shown much interest in doing this.

That's actually quite revealing of Russ' true personality if he's so insecure about JS' mild interest in a Wyoming project QB.

It certainly wouldn't hurt to scout and explore the QB classes of the next couple years. Perhaps a mid round gem could be found. The real question though is what a new regime here may do?

Alex Smith did it twice.

Project QB or not, he was still projected to be a high first round pick. Now I don't know if there are any facts to back up that Russ and his agent were "bent", but if he wants to win games he should have been. I would have been pissed too if time and lots of draft capital were spent to move up to get someone at a position of strength instead of using the picks to try and get better at positions of weakness.

You should ALWAYS be drafting and developing QB's, if not to replace your current starter but to trade for valuable picks.

Look at all the picks the Patriots have got for trading their backups.

- Cassell 2nd round pick
- Mallet 7th round pick
- Brissett traded for a starting WR
- Garoppolo 2nd round pick

Our FO has HORRIBLY failed at drafting and developing backups, which IMO is the biggest reason we traded for Hunley, he's the type of QB that you can hopefully develop not only into a competent backup, but for trade value down the road.

Probably not, but if we end up with a top 5 draft pick, I hope the front office at least has the discussion.

Best thing Wilson could teach a new QB is giving him the keys to the shark cage.

No QB can flourish with a jailbreak oline, and that is the best Pete Carroll can build.

If we end up with a top 5 pick I can think of several needs I'd take over a QB, like a rush end or a right O tackle for example.

100% this. I've always been on board with this philosophy. Also, the Redskins drafted Cousins in the 4th (I think) the same year they drafted Griffin. Drafting QBs in the mid round for development is good drafting.

Why not, we drafted a RB in the 1st round that we didn't need....(either because we have or could've found a comparable RB, we are not a running team or the o-line is the issue).

Isn't Hundley in the last year of his contract?
