Schneider Dismisses Weakness of 2025 NFL Draft QB Class

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider has pushed back against the narrative that the 2025 NFL Draft lacks quality quarterbacks, emphasizing that it depends on the player and the system. He highlighted Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders as top prospects, though some analysts express concern over the overall readiness of this quarterback class. Despite the discussion around quarterbacks, Seattle is unlikely to select one early in the draft, having secured Sam Darnold as their starter. Darnold signed a three-year, $100.5 million deal after leading the Minnesota Vikings to the playoffs last season. Meanwhile, the Seahawks have other pressing needs, particularly along the offensive line, where Schneider suggested it may be challenging to upgrade the center position in this draft. Overall, while the quarterback class may not have immediate starters, Schneider sees potential in several players as future contributors.
