Description
The Seahawks have 10 picks in this year's NFL Draft, but most eyes are on their two picks in the first round.
Are they sold enough on any of the quarterbacks to take one with the fifth overall pick? I don't think so.

That's not to say Seattle won't draft a quarterback. General Manager John Schneider told us the quarterback position is his favorite position to evaluate - and his track record proves he's pretty good at it.
