5 biggest surprises from Joel Klatt's 2024 NFL Mock Draft feat. Dolphins pick Tua Tagovailoa's replacement
2) Seahawks do not draft a quarterback

Geno Smith is only getting older
The Seattle Seahawks' Geno Smith is turning 34 in October. While quarterbacks can have a long career, it's not a given. A devastating injury off a sack can change the trajectory of their careers, with the likes of Tony Romo providing evidence of that.
In his first edition of the mock draft, Klatt had John Schneider nabbing the aforementioned McCarthy. Instead, he traded for Sam Howell, who was horrible as the Washington Commanders' starter last season. He led the league in interceptions (21) and sacks taken (65) and also suffered four fumbles (half of them lost).

The Seahawks instead bolster their defensive line with Byron Murphy, which is decent, but without a good contingency plan under center, they may face some trouble.

If he can change one moment in NFL history, it will be from the NFC Championship Game in January 2019. In that game, a highly controversial no-call cost the Saints what would have been Drew Brees' second Super Bowl visit, where he would have faced Tom Brady and the Patriots.
