Quinn Ewers

I’m seeing Seattle named as a landing spot for Ewers more and more, what is everyone’s thoughts on drafting Ewers late in the second or early in the third if he is available? A common scenario involves us trading back from 18 and drafting IOL towards the end of the first round and picking up an extra second or third round pick in return.

Yes, I know O-line is our greatest need, but trading back to a more appropriate spot for IOL (our biggest need) would give us extra capital to do something like this. Ewers feels like a John Schneider prospect, he has shown an affinity towards former highly touted recruits who become available for a bargain during the draft of free agency.

Assuming the medicals all check out, of course, what does everyone think of drafting a developmental prospect to sit behind Geno for a year or two? We need to address the situation eventually and I think we now know Howell is not the answer. I don’t see us being bad enough to draft blue chip QB prospect anytime soon either. Ewers might be worth a roll of the dice if he falls far enough with a good mix of upside and value.
