The 2022 NFL draft is just a little over a week away and Seattle Seahawks fans are getting discouraged and waiting to see what their team is going to do with its first-round pick. Currently set to select on No. 9 overall, Seattle has a number of options to consider: trade on, trade off or choose as planned.
Some apparent drafts have actually swapped the Seahawks this year to get a top-level quarterback, but this recent one from CBS Sports’s Ryan Wilson predicts that Seattle will remain in the position to pick a quarterback – Liberty’s Malik Willis.
“We were on Willis beforehand: we have a second-round degree on him based on his work at university, but that does not mean teams looking for a quarterback will not take one a round or what before they have to,” Writes Wilson. “Willis had a wonderful week at the Senior Bowl and he then had good interviews in Indy.
Just published my seven-round mock concept on @CBSSports. Can say with some certainty that I went 262 for 262. (It’s a piece, but I also broke down all the choices per team. Save yourself some legwork before you come back here and start screaming. You’re welcome.) Https: // t.co/tLcA5F2ftz

“He was built like Russell Wilson, but of course in much rougher form,” Wilson continues. “It seems that Drew Lock (for now) is the beginner in Seattle, which means Willis can learn by watching. He has the physical tools to be the best passer in this class, all he needs is experience. ”
As of now, the Seahawks have three backs on the list: Geno Smith, Drew and Jacob Eason. Will it change next Thursday night when the first round of the draft kicks off at 5pm PT?
