All the .net QB gurus will be in absolute shambles



I dont think that last comment was ripping on Mahomes, but rather a joke referring the fact that the Chiefs hadnt drafted a first-round QB since like 1970.

Feels like that's the general consensus with Levis and Richardson. Levis was riddled with injuries while playing on a trash team. It's all about what they're capable of.

Levis has the arm, IQ, athleticism, and experience playing in a pro offense, so if he's able to fix his mechanics and accuracy, he'll be an absolute stud.

Hence the boom or bust label.

I am more concerned by Levis. He is too robotic & stiff. lacks awareness that often leads to sacks & poor decisions on his part. The accuracy is one thing. But the decision making is downright bad at times. Plays overly aggressive which leads to turnovers. Far too often, I feel like I'm watching Carson Wentz play for Kentucky. Not the good version.

Where as I have less concerns with Richardson long term. His play actually improved as he gained more experience. He has a better "feel" than Levis. Most of his problems & accuracy issues stem from poor lower half mechanics & footwork, which can be fixed. I ultimately see him having a Justin Fields/Jalen Hurts type path. Where he sits & learns for a bit. Then gradually gets better from a passing perspective. But he has all the tools to succeed.

I truly don't see us going QB early in this draft. Next year's class has more elite talent then this year's class. Yes we will have to use a lot of draft capital to move up, but that's what you will have to do to get a true QBOTF. The elite QB's are running this league. Geno ain't one of the dudes, Levi's and Richardson don't give me those vibes, so I think you need to prepair to go get your guy next draft.

Next year's class has Caleb Williams. He's the guy. But this team is too good & too well coached to land the first pick & No team is trading that pick.

Bryce Young & Cj Stroud are better prospects than Drake Maye.

Richardson would probably be the 2nd QB taken, behind Williams, had he stayed another year in school.

Outside of Williams, this years class is better.

You think . Net would be upset over Will Levis? I can’t even imagine the reaction if they chose Tanner McKee at 5 😆😂

They are playing a game with the other teams and Mediots, trying to stir the pot for sure, generate a trade maybe above them so that a DE could fall to them. Or pull attention away from who they are really looking at on these visits.

Yes, there are stories of Schneider actively avoiding going to see certain players in the past, just to keep from alerting other teams' front offices that the Seahawks were interested in those players.

Gotta admit, I'm loving the selfies that the Hawks Staff are doing with these QB's. It's amusing to me and each picture sends a message to other GM's and HC's like "Hey, do we have your attention now?" and I'm loving every bit of it
Yep, and they're having some fun. Oh the horror. Let everyone think you're taking a QB, then get a solid offer for someone to move up to 5.
Not their first rodeo.

Levis has a ton of stuff to like.

No, seriously... what's with all the college players named Tanner lately?
I'm old enough that I remember the Seahawks' first season (1976), but I've never met a Tanner in my life, and now it seems like every college football team has one. Was there a revival of interest in The Bad News Bears back in the late '90s and early aughts?

Take a look at this epic comment from a Bills fan..........in fact look at all of them from the Bills Twitter link you posted. Hilarious.

Levi’s is the best 3rd QB in this draft. That probably perk Pete up!
