A QB in the draft -

I think Jaxson Dart is a great fit for the Seahawks in the 2025 draft.
Big. Mobile. Huge arm. Can really spin it.
Style reminds me of Josh Allen. We saw a lot of the same plays Allen ran today in this video.

Re: A QB in the draft -
Per PFN:
Strengths
- Possesses a live arm and can drive velocity into the intermediate and deep ranges.
- Has the requisite arm elasticity to adjust throwing angles and release points at will.
- Still learning how to channel it but has high-end layering ability with his arm talent.
- Extremely explosive evasive threat and runner, who gets up to speed quickly.
- Able to keep his eyes up on the scramble drill and maintain congruence off-platform.
- Has shown to slide and rotate his base to manage space against pressure threats.
- Crisp rotational thrower who can stay in phase while stepping up into narrow lanes.
- Mechanically sound passer with good general accuracy and distribution ability.
- Can use pre-snap formation reads to identify optimal targets and capitalize.
- Flashes the ability to read progressions high-to-low and quickly divert to checkdowns.
- Shows glimpse of middle-field anticipation, rifling leading tight-window throws to WRs.
- Anticipation and high-end arm talent can yield masterfully layered intermediate throws.
- Generally has good ball security and discretion, and can manage the offense.
- Flashes the toughness and poise to stand in and deliver with pressure bearing down.
- Has the wherewithal to throw the ball away when worked into a corner by pressure.
Weaknesses
- Doesn’t quite have quantifiably elite arm strength or creation capacity.
- At times, can improve his situational precision on drive throws to better preserve receivers.
- Failure to roll his base can sometimes tug Dart’s front shoulder high, causing imprecision.
- Concave release can cause passes to float overtop their intended targets at times.
- Sometimes tugs his front shoulder down off PA exchanges, causing passes to stall.
- Pressure can bring about inconsistencies in his base width and footwork on release.
- Sometimes works himself into a corner when attempting to seep into lanes and escape.
- Occasionally peels off initial reads too early and fails to anticipate seam opportunities.
- Can still become more consistent as an anticipator and less “see it, throw it” as a QB.
- Lackadaisical drop-back footwork can lead to late triggers on downfield pass attempts.
- Can stare down initial targets and attempts to force ill-advised passes.
- Gets caught big-play hunting on early, low-leverage downs, increasing turnover risk.
- Has room to better preserve himself as a runner to avoid big hits.

Re: A QB in the draft -
I totally get the need for a QB, but our #1 pick next year needs to be a stud OL. Let Howell have the team for a year. Draft a QB in 2026. I don't care how good a QB is, without a good OL, he isn't going to do shit.

Assuming health, Cross and Lucas don't appear to be going anywhere.acctingman wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 2:02 amI totally get the need for a QB, but our #1 pick next year needs to be a stud OL.

So you're spending a no. 1 pick on a guard?
Perhaps u grab a center?
But I'm not doing that until the 2nd or 3rd round. Realistically... the Hawks need a new left guard and center. Cross, Lucas, Haynes will continue to be the future.

Dart... great name for a QB

Re: A QB in the draft -
I really wouldn't expect the Seahawks to use their number one pick on a QB, or a offensive lineman either. How about Richardson

Re: A QB in the draft -
Sure, could see something like that. Though who knows how JS rates him. He seems particular about QBs, hasn't invested a lot of resources in them. But when he sees one he likes he goes after them, RS. He seemed high on Richardson
“He was really impressive,” Schneider said Thursday on Seattle Sports 710. “Great athlete, great young man. He has a ton of physical talent, no question about it. ... He did a great job. He had fun, he was loose and he had a good time with his teammates.”

Re: A QB in the draft -
Seahawks should take the best interior OL available with their top pick. If it's a reach with whatever pick they end up with then trade back a few spots. Geno behind a mediocre line is a top 7 QB.
