Do we have a quarterback in our range who projects to better than Kaep?

Yes and no. What I do know is Pete Carroll is definitely going to pick either Gurley or Gordon to replace Beast Mode when he is done, if we don't compete to land Gordon (I don't want to take another ACL risk with Gurley), I would be mega pis*ed if we had to go up against Gordon as a Seahawk.

There's no guarantee Seattle takes Gordon or Gurley. They have Turbin and Michael. I could see Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit, Jets, Tampa Bay all as viable landing spots for Gordon or Gurley.

Please lets start off by not saying, "Kaep sucks and anyone can be better than him".

I don't know what high round picks are legitimately projected to do well in the NFL. But I have seen some great qb play in the Bowl games and this season in general. With that said, we always need to be looking to improve at all positions, especially the most important one.

Kaep has got some talent, but Im thinking so much about improvement, and Im worried that Kaep doesn't have everything it takes to win Superbowls, and I really would like to have some 'Joe Montana/Aaron Rodgers' talent leading us.

There are some good quarterbacks coming out and you guys know more than me about the talent, but could we actually target a qb in this draft who can take Kaeps job in year 1--or developed to take over longterm? Or should we pass over the position and grab a vet, because no one this year is skilled enough to be a quality starter?

Qb discussion...

Of course I can't guarantee you 100%, but I just can't see Pete Carroll willing to pass up on either Gurley or Gordon. Turbin and Michael are not Beast Mode, they need a legit playmaking RB if they hope to get anywhere near in replacing Lynch.

Don't get me wrong, I want Petty too, but you have to look at the situation. First off, you have to look at how any teams will be needing QBs, Bucs, Titans, Jets, may be Bears, Rams, may be Browns, may be Saints and these are just the teams drafting before us. The question is how many QBs do you think we go before Petty ? Mariota, Winston and Hundley perhaps ? Even if you want to take Petty in the 2nd, I am not sure you can get him.

But, even if Petty was available in the 2nd, you will need to make a compromise to get him, may be give up a 1st round WR and take Gordon instead or give up Gordon and take say Duke Johnson in the 3rd if he is still available. Not an easy choice.

Unless Seattle trades up Gordon (and probably Gurley too) will be gone long before they pick. We simply can't stop them from taking a game-breaking back this year if they really want one. Telvin Coleman would dominate in their system too.

I'm not saying they will trade up. I'm saying that Duke Johnson, Telvin Coleman, and Amir Abdullah are potentially game-breaking backs too and they will all be available where Seattle picks. We can't stop them from getting at least one of those 5 backs.

There is no doubt in my mind Bryce Petty is the real deal, yes Baylor might have lost by 1 lousy point, but come on 550 yards of passing, that is just ridiculous !
