The NFC West top to bottom is a ruthless division, with the Rams, 49ers, and Cardinals all coming into 2022 with lofty expectations. The Seahawks, meanwhile, are hoping the 2022 NFL Draft is the continuation of a course correction that began with the trade of Russell Wilson to the Broncos for a bevy of picks. While it would be nice to have their own picks, they at least aren’t going in empty-handed

While it’s unlikely Seattle sees Drew Lock as its quarterback of the future, the Seahawks don’t necessarily have to make a play for a QB this year. They have too many other holes to fill.

With that being said, there’s a chance John Schneider and company take a flier on a quarterback this year, even if it isn’t one of the more talked-about QBs in this year’s draft.

Here’s a look at the Seahawks’ picks in the 2022 NFL Draft:

Seahawks NFL draft needs

Left Tackle: It doesn’t matter who’s under center for the Seahawks this year, they need someone to protect him. The offensive line has never been a particularly strong suit of Pete Carroll’s offense, and Duane Brown wasn’t retained by Seattle in free agency. Russell Wilson won’t be scrambling to bail out poor offensive line play anymore. This time, they need to get the position right. Quarterback: Be it this year or in 2023, the Seahawks aren’t going to compete with Drew Lock starting. They have to find someone who is going to lead this offense into the future. Unfortunately for them, this year’s draft doesn’t have much standout quarterback play. Right Tackle: The other bookend of the offensive line, Seattle has to find a right tackle to protect its quarterback. In April, the starter is Jake Curhan. While he’s a great story, Curhan probably isn’t who the Seahawks want starting in Week 1. Linebacker: Linebacker is thin for the Seahawks after the release of Bobby Wagner, and now they need to do something about it. Even if Wagner’s release was deemed necessary by the team, it’s uncharacteristic of Schneider to not have a clearer plan of succession on his defense. Wide Receiver: Wide receiver for the Seahawks is preemptive, as D. K. Metcalf’s future with the team remains obfuscated. Tyler Lockett has lost a step for Seattle in its passing game, so even if it’s in the later rounds, taking a receiver makes sense to get a look at someone new in Seattle.
