With Tyree If we can get him to change his number to 3, We can all keep our jerseys!
I agree carter is the best pick at 5. At 20 I would do a nose tackle mazi smith if available. And then they can fill the offense line running back and come back and in round three and four get a lb and another edge
We definitely need 2 Defensive Tackles as brick walls of defense, Jalen Carter and Siaki Ika!
Defense at 5 unless for some reason Young or Stroud falls to them at 5. You then can't pass up either of those QBs. Stroud especially. He's Young with size. Size matters whether people think it does or not. Size opens up the hold offense. With Young you have a Russ type QB. Nothing wrong with that. But Russ hurt the offense overall because of his size.
Seahawks make great use of 5th round picks. Excited about those two picks as much as the early picks.
They need a third down running back a power back and a third wide receiver.
Jalen Carter? Nope. Just like the movie.
As a Seahawks fan I do not want them to trade down. This isn't like the number 15 pick, it's number 5. We know three of the teams ahead of them will pick quarterbacks so this is almost like the number 2 pick. With that plus a second first round pick and two second round picks this already is the sort of haul of picks you get from trades. No need to get more "lottery tickets" when they already have so many. There could be a legit superstar at number 5 and this team never drafts this high so take advantage.
Aside from trading down the other concern I have is that they get too clever with their pick. They nailed last year's draft so the narrative is that Schneider and Carrol are geniuses but that ignores the last several years where the draft didn't go so well. There was a trend to pick someone in the first round that was projected to go in the second. The Hawks felt they had seen something in a player that no one else did and then for some reason they would draft them earlier than expected, I guess figuring that maybe someone else did see the same potential. This resulted in guys that amounted to nothing like L.J. Collier and Rashaad Penny. I could foresee a worst case scenario like picking someone that's expected to go 28 with pick 5 because that's the guy they want. That's a situation where you trade down. But there's a second first round pick to use for the dark horse guy. Take a widely regarded "sure thing" with pick 5.
There's a lot of pressure to deliver on this year's draft because of the fortunate results of the Wilson trade. This team making the playoffs last year was not at all expected coming out of the off-season. The team has rebuilt far quicker than expected so the thinking is that if they do well in this draft that it could make them contenders fairly quickly. But can they expected to do as well with this draft as they did last year? Last year was very exceptional.
I think periphery is right.
Y’all think Pete and John need Russel would struggle and this pick would be as good as it is?
Seahawks are spectacular in range 50 to 90 eg HoFs like BWagz & Russ Team3 & also amazing in Rd 5 HoFs Sherman Chancellor & young Woolen
NEEDS: DT,DE, C, IOL, WR,LB,RB
WTF is mentally wrong with Chris Sims? Who the hell buttons their shirt to the top?!
If I got to draft Tyree Wilson I'd be thrilled!! He has sky high ceiling. He slices through the line like a knife through warm butter. You can coach him up and improve his production. His hands are already ELITE. He reminds me of Aiden Hutchinson in that respect. Seattle will regret trading this pick if he becomes a star. Some film I look at and say "Why is he so high" other film I say "oh! that's why"
people assume that because a team was "active" in FA that they had a good FA. We added a couple pieces but we lost many more. I'm very interested to see what Pete & John do.
Everyone seems to be going defense with these mocks and rightfully so the D struggled last year specifically against the run so it makes sense but honestly this team is dangerously thin depth wise with WR, OL and RB too. They are one injury away at all those positions from being in trouble.
I havent seen the trade back work for them yes they have had a couple of great years but lets look at the facts
Florio has no fkg clue, period, especially with Seahawks, clown
Jalen Carter is why Seattle needs Big Al to come back at some point in ‘23
Yeah I just think Seattles testing the waters to see if the players they want lets say Carter and Anderson for instance are both gone, if they could drop a couple steps back for a QB needy team while staying roughly in that top 10 range. There's been talk about them eyeing an Illinois CB in the event those two are gone, but know that CB likely wouldn't be taken top 5. If you get into that situation, it only makes sense to try and drive up the price on a QB prospect you have no real interest in drafting in, especially if you would potentially move only as far back as say 11 with a team like Tennessee that might want to leapfrog a team like the Lions or Raiders. A lot of this depends heavily on if someone, or multiple someones fall. Or the right player captures the right teams heart.
Jalen Carter to Seattle all day
Lol
we want carter!
