Nearly every team that needed help at quarterback going into the 2022 NFL draft wound up getting one. The Steelers picked Kenny Pickett, the Falcons took Desmond Ridder, the Titans landed Malik Willis, the Panthers got Matt Corral and the Commanders added Sam Howell on Day 3.
The Seahawks were the exception to the rule, despite their reported interest in both Ridder and Willis. It seems at least some of that was typical draft season misdirection from the front office.
According to a report by Brady Henderson at ESPN, the Seahawks brass doesn’t think Willis – who was the consensus No. 1 QB prospect in the class coming in – is even close to NFL ready.
