Updated Post-Trade Draft Needs for the Seattle Seahawks

Quarterback

If you didn’t get the Steamin’ Willie Beamin reference then you’ve missed out on one of the greatest football movies of all-time.

Why it’s a need: Tarvaris Jackson has been the backup to Russell Wilson since the rookie won the job in 2012 (Jackson later became the starter in Buffalo in 2012 before returning for the ’13/’14 seasons). Jackson is now a free agent and has shown interest in possibly backing up Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

With B.J. Daniels and R.J. Archer as the only other quarterbacks on the roster, Seattle could very well draft someone to back up Wilson.

If Wilson were to go down for an extended period of time, even with the league’s best defense and Marshawn Lynch able to carry the offensive workload, Seattle’s Super Bowl hopes would take a huge hit.

Daniels is getting more looks as a punt returner than a QB and Archer last played in the Arena Football League.

The best insurance would be for Schneider to re-sign Jackson, since he’s started for the Seahawks in the past and done a good job.

If the veteran QB moves on, finding a new second-string quarterback will be a greater need.

Importance: Low, unless Jackson leaves. Then it becomes moderately high.
