The Seattle Seahawks need a new franchise quarterback after having foolishly traded theirs away to the Denver Broncos. While they still have time to find a replacement, right now the PFF offseason improvement index has Seattle ranked dead last among the 32 teams in the NFL.
Our best guess is that head coach Pete Carroll prefers an experienced point-guard type of quarterback, but we can’t rule out them taking a QB at some point in the 2022 NFL draft. Today, they’ll be getting a good look at one of the top quarterback prospects in the class. According to Corbin Smith at Sports Illustrated, the team has sent QBs coach Dave Canales to Pitt to watch Kenny Pickett throw at his pro day.

Pickett (6-foot-3, 220 pounds) has five years’ worth of experience at the college level. During his time at Pitt he threw 81 touchdown passes to go with 32 interceptions and a rating of 136.3.
