I think Jaxson Dart is a great fit for the Seahawks in the 2025 draft.
Big. Mobile. Huge arm. Can really spin it.
Style reminds me of Josh Allen. We saw a lot of the same plays Allen ran today in this video.

Re: A QB in the draft -
Per PFN:
Strengths
- Possesses a live arm and can drive velocity into the intermediate and deep ranges.
- Has the requisite arm elasticity to adjust throwing angles and release points at will.
- Still learning how to channel it but has high-end layering ability with his arm talent.
- Extremely explosive evasive threat and runner, who gets up to speed quickly.
- Able to keep his eyes up on the scramble drill and maintain congruence off-platform.
- Has shown to slide and rotate his base to manage space against pressure threats.
- Crisp rotational thrower who can stay in phase while stepping up into narrow lanes.
- Mechanically sound passer with good general accuracy and distribution ability.
- Can use pre-snap formation reads to identify optimal targets and capitalize.
- Flashes the ability to read progressions high-to-low and quickly divert to checkdowns.
- Shows glimpse of middle-field anticipation, rifling leading tight-window throws to WRs.
- Anticipation and high-end arm talent can yield masterfully layered intermediate throws.
- Generally has good ball security and discretion, and can manage the offense.
- Flashes the toughness and poise to stand in and deliver with pressure bearing down.
- Has the wherewithal to throw the ball away when worked into a corner by pressure.
Weaknesses
- Doesn’t quite have quantifiably elite arm strength or creation capacity.
- At times, can improve his situational precision on drive throws to better preserve receivers.
- Failure to roll his base can sometimes tug Dart’s front shoulder high, causing imprecision.
- Concave release can cause passes to float overtop their intended targets at times.
- Sometimes tugs his front shoulder down off PA exchanges, causing passes to stall.
- Pressure can bring about inconsistencies in his base width and footwork on release.
- Sometimes works himself into a corner when attempting to seep into lanes and escape.
- Occasionally peels off initial reads too early and fails to anticipate seam opportunities.
- Can still become more consistent as an anticipator and less “see it, throw it” as a QB.
- Lackadaisical drop-back footwork can lead to late triggers on downfield pass attempts.
- Can stare down initial targets and attempts to force ill-advised passes.
- Gets caught big-play hunting on early, low-leverage downs, increasing turnover risk.
- Has room to better preserve himself as a runner to avoid big hits.

Re: A QB in the draft -
I totally get the need for a QB, but our #1 pick next year needs to be a stud OL. Let Howell have the team for a year. Draft a QB in 2026. I don't care how good a QB is, without a good OL, he isn't going to do shit.

Assuming health, Cross and Lucas don't appear to be going anywhere.acctingman wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 2:02 amI totally get the need for a QB, but our #1 pick next year needs to be a stud OL.

So you're spending a no. 1 pick on a guard?
Perhaps u grab a center?
But I'm not doing that until the 2nd or 3rd round. Realistically... the Hawks need a new left guard and center. Cross, Lucas, Haynes will continue to be the future.

Dart... great name for a QB
