As of now, Geno Smith is listed as QB1 in Seattle ahead of Lock. I don't care. One of two things are going to happen. Either Smith is going to hold onto the job, rendering it useless for fantasy purposes since we all know the veteran is a prototypical game manager. Or the team is just making Lock "earn" the top job, allowing them to get a look at a quarterback that's six years younger and has the kind of athleticism to at least approximate some of what Russell Wilson did over the past decade.
In a division that features three playoff teams, including both clubs in last year's NFC Championship Game and eventual Super Bowl champion, the Seahawks are in a rebuild, whether they want to say it on the record or not. So, even if Smith emerges from camp as QB1, it's hard to see a scenario where the offense isn't turned over the Lock at some point.
Lock has flashed some potential in three years with the Broncos, but he made too many mistakes, and it was clear Denver's coaching staff had lost confidence in him last season given how they played an injured Teddy Bridgewater rather than turn the keys to the offense over to Lock. There's a lot to like about Lock's raw talent, and as noted he has the kind of athleticism that could supplement a run-heavy approach with read options and designed runs.
Seattle has Lock under contract for one more year, and it behooves them to see if he has an NFL future. There's no reason to draft Lock, but he's someone that could be stuck on watch lists to see what a change of scenery does for him.
