Apr 11, 2023 · All of that being said, it's still entirely possible the Seahawks draft a quarterback early, perhaps even with the No. 5 overall pick. Why take a quarterback after signing Smith...

1 (2). C.J. Stroud, Ohio State
Reported Visit: Pro Day A technician throwing the ball, Stroud delivers passes with precision to receivers in stride at all levels of the defense and has flashed throwing receivers open with anticipation, as evidenced by his 69 percent completion rate. Coming from a quarterback-friendly offense, he will have to adjust to a pro style system with more reads and progressions and he needs to learn to take advantage of his athleticism more as a runner. Oozing with tools and a refined passer, he co...
2 (3). Bryce Young, Alabama
Reported Visit: Pro Day Though he won a Heisman Trophy in 2021, Young continues to battle the stigma that comes with being an undersized 5-10 quarterback. But while he doesn't have the strongest arm in this class and durability will be questioned at his size, he throws with great anticipation to all parts of the field, navigates the pocket with precision to avoid rushers, and consistently makes smart choices with the ball. A refined prospect with a great head on his shoulders, he should go in...
3. (5). Anthony Richardson, Florida
Reported Visit: Combine Formal Loaded with physical tools and rare athleticism for a quarterback, the 6-4, 244-pound Richardson oozes with potential, but his lack of playing time shows up on film. Sloppy throwing mechanics and footwork leave much to be desired, resulting in unacceptable accuracy on short and intermediate throws. Still, his off the charts combination of speed and arm talent could vault him into the top three picks due to his tantalizing upside and sky-high ceiling.
5 (46). Hendon Hooker, Tennessee
If not for a torn ACL suffered late last season, Hooker likely would be jockeying for top-15 consideration with other top quarterback prospects. A strong-armed signal caller who exhibits great poise in the pocket, Hooker rarely turned the football over in college, consistently making smart decisions as a passer and excelling throwing outside of the hashes. He may face a steep learning curve with an NFL offense, but when healthy, he has starter upside and could present outstanding day two value.
6 (109). Jaren Hall, BYU
A smaller pocket passer with above-average athletic traits and pocket mobility, Hall won't impress with his arm strength or ability to fit the ball into tight windows. But at the same time, he plays with great command of the offense and understands how to throw receivers open with plus accuracy. In a system that moves his pocket with bootlegs and leans on the intermediate game, he has potential starter appeal in time.
7 (132). Tanner McKee, Stanford
For teams seeking a big-armed developmental quarterback, McKee would fit the bill. He has the arm talent to make throws to all areas of the field and when his mechanics are on point, he delivers a beautiful spiral with great zip. Unfortunately, he offers minimal mobility and hasn't shown much improvement handling pressure, often leading to ugly interceptions. In the right system, he may have enough arm ability to vie for a starting job someday.
8 (151). Jake Haener, Fresno State
A cerebral signal-caller, Haener consistently threw receivers open with plus-anticipation and accuracy from the pocket, completing nearly 69 percent of his attempts in four collegiate seasons. His lack of size at under 200 pounds and average arm talent will likely lead to him being a mid day three pick and career backup, but his accuracy makes him one to watch at the next level if he lands in the right spot.
