For a bit printed on Wednesday morning, Brady Henderson of ESPN talked about that the Seahawks “used two of their 30 predraft visits on Louisville’s Tyler Shough and Alabama’s Jalen Milroe.” This implies both of these prospects might be choices for Seattle after the draft’s first spherical.
Shough’s draft inventory has risen from what it was in January. For the reason that NFL Scouting Mix, he has been known as “the best quarterback,”
“the most talented thrower” and “the most pro-ready” signal-caller on this 12 months’s class. That final half might be interesting to the Seahawks, contemplating how poorly Darnold played in his closing two appearances with the Minnesota Vikings.
“Milroe might be a wildcat/gadget-play weapon for brand spanking new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, one thing he had in Taysom Hill final season with the New Orleans Saints,” Henderson added about Seattle’s doable curiosity within the Alabama star. “By far a more gifted runner than every other quarterback on this 12 months’s class, Milroe has all of the mobility that Kubiak might ever need for an offense that can use loads of bootlegs as a pure complement to outside-zone runs. Even when Milroe by no means develops as a passer, Kubiak might have a brand new model of Hill, whom the OC has known as top-of-the-line soccer gamers he is ever been round.”
As of Wednesday afternoon, experiences indicated that Miami’s Cam Ward (Tennessee Titans at choose No. 1), Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders are the one quarterbacks who might be drafted within the first spherical. NFL Draft analyst and league insider Todd McShay
of The Ringer thinks Sanders will fall to the Cleveland Browns at total choose No. 33.
Relying on what number of quarterbacks go off the board within the first spherical, Seattle might need to commerce up for both Shough or Milroe.
“They’ve 5 picks within the first 100 — Nos. 18, 50, 52, 82 and 92. In addition they have a fourth, two fifths and two sevenths,” Henderson mentioned concerning the Seahawks’ draft capital.
In brief, Seattle common supervisor John Schneider might not need to hope both Shough or Milroe drops to choose No. 50 if the chief needs to make sure the Seahawks get their desired quarterback in the course of the draft’s second spherical.
