12th Man Rising

● By Lee Vowell
Now that the 2022 NFL draft is over, we have a Seahawks season to look forward to next. But in 2023, Seattle might need to find its next long-term quarterback in the draft. It is never too early to look ahead to the next draft anyway. People like Mel Kiper, Jr. have made a very good living just spending 365 days a year reviewing tape on college players and then projecting where those players will be drafted. While on paper Seattle’s 2022 class looks very good (even though there seem to be a bunch of people who disliked Seattle not taking a quarterback in a not-very-good QB draft), expecting a bunch of rookies to help immediately turn Seattle into a championship-caliber team is wrong.
