Now that the 2022 Draft is over that means it’s time to start talking about next year's draft, right? The 2022 NFL Draft coming and going without the Seattle Seahawks adding a quarterback to the...

adding a quarterback to the roster makes it very clear the team views the 2023 offseason as the time to find one, assuming they don’t view Drew Lock as the future. With the draft being a little under a year away there is a lot that could change. Over the last few seasons, we’ve seen the likes of Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, Zach Wilson and Kenny Pickett rise from Day 2 or later picks to being the first or second QB off the board.

There is a saying in the scouting community, which is do not scout the helmet, scout the player but Young is likely to fall victim to people scouting the helmet. These two negatives if you can even call them that are going to concern some teams, especially the height which does only increase the chances Seattle could scoop up him.

The lack of NFL success for recent first round Ohio State quarterbacks in the late Dwayne Haskins and current Bears starter Justin Fields is something that is going to be used in the argument against Stroud. However, like Young, once you look past an argument that truly does not have anything to do with him it is easy to fall in love with the player. He has the necessary athleticism to play the position, can throw from anywhere on the field and has the ability to take over games.

He is not a supreme athlete, but he is someone who is going to force defenses to respect his legs as he had 107 rushing attempts last season. Something that could further draw Seattle to Levis is he played the 2021 season under offensive coordinator Liam Coen, who like Shane Waldron, is from the Sean McVay coaching tree which could make his transition to the NFL a bit easier.

If he shows any type of improvement in those areas this upcoming season there is going to be a team that falls in love with him because of the unique traits he brings to the table. I’m not comparing the two in terms of talent, but if you look at Josh Allen coming out of Wyoming he had some very significant concerns with his accuracy, mechanics and decision making, but because of the rare physical traits he brought with him to the table the Bills fell in love and made him a top ten pick.
