Despite matching their 9-8 record the season before, the Seattle Seahawks were unable to secure a spot in the playoffs. That can all change next year, especially if the team takes a gamble on Michael Penix Jr. by trading down in the draft.
Even though the Seahawks started the season with a 6-3 record, injuries to key guys, such as Geno Smith, DK Metcalf, Kenneth Walker III, and Devon Witherspoon, led the team to stumble. Add the fact that the Green Bay Packers claimed the last playoff spot in a three-way tie with Seattle, and the New Orleans Saints didn’t do the Seahawks any favors.
On the other hand, adding Penix can help the team make it back to the postseason. The Washington Huskies star is already on a pro level when it comes to touch, breaking down defenses, accuracy, and working through progressions. With him as the Seahawks’ possible quarterback, there’s a chance for Seattle to improve its record next season.
Seattle Seahawks Land Michael Penix Jr. By Trading Down In Draft
Getting Penix in the upcoming NFL Draft isn’t impossible at all. Aaron Schatz explains how this can be done and why it’s beneficial for Seattle in his article for ESPN:
Do the Seahawks want to prove this is a new age and the Pete Carroll era is over? Draft a quarterback in Round 1! Since the Russell Wilson selection in 2012, the Seahawks have drafted only one quarterback: seventh-rounder Alex McGough in 2018. Geno Smith has been much better than anyone expected, but it is time to start a long-term plan at the game’s most important position. The No. 16 selection might be too early to dip into the next level of young quarterbacks after the top three, so it would be even better for the Seahawks to trade back a little bit, get some extra draft capital and still land a young quarterback they can groom behind Smith. Perhaps they can stay local with Washington’s Penix Jr.,” Schatz wrote.
Laying the foundation for Seattle’s future in the NFL starts this offseason by making their way toward Michael Penix Jr. in the draft. If the Seahawks make the right moves, next season can be a better one for the team.
