Early indications suggest that Geno Smith will continue his tenure with the Seattle Seahawks in 2024, though the team remains open to acquiring another quarterback. Brock Huard, a commentator for Seattle Sports, advocates for the Seahawks to pursue former Michigan Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy, whom he sees as a perfect fit for the team.
Fresh from guiding Michigan to a championship and impressing at the NFL combine, McCarthy is expected to be off the board by the time Seattle picks at No. 16. Huard asserts that the Seahawks should be willing to make significant moves, such as trading up in the draft, to secure McCarthy’s talents.
Huard emphasized his stance, stating, “I firmly believe that every effort should be made to acquire him. Whether it involves trading DK Metcalf or next year’s first-round pick, I am enthusiastic about making him our first-round selection this year. While I also value adding players like Troy Fautanu and other top-50 prospects, I am committed to exploring every avenue to obtain J.J. McCarthy in this draft.”
