Seahawks’ Pete Carroll Says Team Could Draft QB With No. 5 Pick

It’s been nearly a year since the Seahawks traded quarterback Russell Wilson to the Broncos, drastically altering the trajectories of both franchises. Seattle found its new quarterback in Geno Smith, who was named the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year and just signed a new three-year contract worth up to $105 million.

Despite all of these developments, don’t rule out the possibility of the Seahawks using that pick acquired from Denver to select another quarterback in the 2023 NFL draft.
