The Seattle Seahawks have only drafted two quarterbacks under John Schneider’s tenure as general manager. Russell Wilson’s immediate success in 2012 substantially reduced the need to go QB hunting for the better part of a decade. Two-time USFL champion Alex McGough was the only other QB taken by Schneider, and he never made it to the active roster.
Seattle had opportunities in 2022 and 2023 to draft quarterbacks and bypassed both times. Geno Smith and Sam Howell’s contracts are both up after the 2025 season, and there is intrigue over whether or not Schneider will finally land a rookie QB in his first post-Pete Carroll year.
