As we race toward August, Footballguys.com will look at one team per day with our extremely in-depth Team Reports and our quick-hitting Team Mood and Players We're In and Out On, where we check out the overall mood of each team's offense and let you know the players we are in on (because they are great values at the cost it takes to acquire them) and who we're out on (because they are too expensive and won't have a good return on that investment).

Staffers in a Bad Mood

• Phil Alexander: Mega-bad. Geno Smith and Drew Lock make up the league's most uninspiring quarterback depth chart.
• Kevin Coleman: If Seattle plans on heading into the 2022 season with Geno Smith and Drew Lock fighting for QB1, it will be a long season for this offense.
• Jeff Haseley: Ask Carolina how important a good quarterback is to their offense. I don't see the talent rising above to keep the offense afloat. This seems like a down season for Seattle.
• Christian Williams: The pieces they added to the offensive line are intriguing, but an upgrade at quarterback is necessary.
• Jason Wood: An aging roster and departed superstar create a litany of questions.
• Andy Hicks: The answer to replace Russell Wilson is not Drew Lock or Geno Smith
• Ryan Weisse: This offense was low-volume and boring with Russell Wilson. Now we're dealing with Drew Lock and Geno Smith. Bad may not be strong enough.
• Ben Cummins: Without Russell Wilson, the Seahawks will field one of the worst offenses in the NFL this season.
• Jeff Bell: Coaching philosophy that took the ball out of Russell Wilson’s hands meets Geno Smith or Drew Lock.
• Zareh Kantzabedian: 2022 will essentially be a repeat of last year. Inefficient offense with the inability to consistently sustain scoring drives.
• Dave Kluge: But a trade for Baker Mayfield or Jimmy Garoppolo could quickly change the mood.
• James Brimacombe: Not sure you can make a different selection for this team with the current quarterback situation.
• Craig Lakins: This is a team in need of a full rebuild, but it's unclear if they know that.
