QB or not QB
By Danny O'Neil | The Seattle Times
Since 1993, there have been 44 quarterbacks chosen in the first round of the NFL Draft.
None of those 44 players were chosen by Seattle, however.
The Seahawks haven't picked a quarterback in the first round since choosing Rick Mirer with the second choice of the 1993 draft.
On Thursday, Washington is going to pick its fourth first-round quarterback in that time, adding Robert Griffin III to a list that already includes Heath Shuler (1994), Patrick Ramsey (2002) and Jason Campbell (2005).
Tennessee has chosen three quarterbacks in the first round in that time: Steve McNair (1995), Vince Young (2006) and Jake Locker (2011). Fourteen teams have picked multiple quarterbacks in the first round in that time.
Only six teams haven't picked a single quarterback in the first round in the past 18 years: Dallas, New Orleans, Miami, Kansas City, New England and your Seattle Seahawks.
