Raiders: B +

Carroll is not interested in a long build, it makes perfect sense for him to go to acquire proof veteran who can bring some degree of stability to Las Vegas. Having smith on the board gives the Raiders chance to be competitive in 2025. And according to how it’s played in the years, Smith still has some good football left him.

Smith is good, but it comes to the time he saw him to send 15 interceptions, the sum of the sum of its rookie time. I have a long-term solutions QB (who has one year left in the current deal), so adiputely still look at to acquire a boy quarterback or this or the next offseason. Las Vegas could pick up the draft quarterback with the sixth overall pick in this year draft, but now that they have smith, have an option to utilize and pick in another situation.

As the most older quarterbacks, Smith, not only really have success in this stage of his career, if it has a strong supporting around him. It is not currently in the case in Las Vegas, so, so the Raiders need to be a very happy offseason if you want Smith to play up potential.

Seahawks: 100 +

The issue is that Seahawks not only got the Smith, they’ve become divided by one of the freedom’s all-time (lockett) and could lose their best offensive player (Metcalf).

On top of the Seahawks is not a great alternative plan in the quarterback. At this point, the team’s starting quarterback is Sam Howell, who does not have one year starting the experience under his belt after being commanders’ starting with each of the 202 of Washington’s games in 2023. Howell NFL At that time, throwing 21 touchdowns and completing about 64% of the transit. However, even threw a league-high 21 interception and looted to the league-high 65 times.

Howell is the option, but as the Raiders, the Seahawks still need to be debt their due diligence in the quarterback. Seattle is 18th overall pick the draft and could use it pick to choose Ole Miss’ Jaxson Aqua, third-ranked QB prospect in this year’s draft. Seattle also can try or Aaron Rodgers and Sam Dannyl. There is also a possibility of the trading of Falcons QB Kirk cousins.
