First, with the success of Matt Hasselbeck in the playoffs, Seattle has to answer the question of: What do we do for a QB? If the Seahawks are truly set on keeping Matty H, then one would have to pose the question of drafting a QB. The draft is full of many quarterbacks who are first-round caliber, like Ryan Mallett of Arkansas, Blaine Gabbert (Missouri), and hometown hero Jake Locker. Some even say Heisman winner Cam Newton is first round worthy, though I couldn't disagree more.
