Dan Orlovsky isn’t who you go to for his takes on food, but when it comes to the quarterback position he knows what he’s talking about.
In a recent appearance on ESPN’s First Take, Orlovsky was asked whether the Seahawks should draft a quarterback with the No. 5 overall pick or build around Geno Smith. Orlovsky seems to think they can’t pass if the guy that they love is still on the board:
“If the guy that they love is there at five, you take ’em. Because you one – hopefully aren’t in that situation in the future and with this roster – especially the draft class they had last year – they likely won’t. And then two – you always want to take a quarterback when you want to rather than when you need to. Everyone hated when Green Bay did it a couple years ago and I would keep betting that they’re gonna look smart in a couple years for doing so.”
Here’s the full video with Orlovsky’s full answer.
The feeling one gets is that if there is a guy for Seattle in this draft class it’s Florida’s Anthony Richardson, who set new records at the Scouting Combine and reportedly had an instant rapport with coach Pete Carroll.
