    Mock draft simulator guaranteed to waste lots of your time

    Quarantine and an easy last semester has given me waaaay too much time to play with mock draft simulators. I like PFF's because the board is so customizable, and the trade downs seem better than some other free ones (however, I still feel like I got too much value for my picks). Trade downs I...

    DK!!!!!! PICK 64 ROUND 2 DK METCALF WR OLE MISS

    Seahawks scouts talked him into doing this at the combine (not post-draft). It wasn't something DK just decided to do on a lark.

    DK!!!!!! PICK 64 ROUND 2 DK METCALF WR OLE MISS

    I was doing to do a series of posts in the draft forum on WRs, but then grad school laughed at me for thinking I'd have that much free time. Anyways, the one player I got to actually writing about was DK. This (except for the last paragraph) was done when most mocks had DK in the top-10. Note...

    All good things must come to an end

    Very well said, Kip, and I agree with every word. I don't post much anymore, but your Random Thoughts posts were the one thing that I always came to .Net to read, without fail. Will definitely miss them, but I've been in a similar spot and made the same decision, so I understand completely.

    Pick #64, 2nd Round: OT Justin Britt, Missouri

    That Georgia game is embarrassing. I wouldn't agree that Britt dominated Clowney, but he did a much better job with Clowney than he did vs Georgia. He doesn't do a very good job playing to the whistle, but I suspect Cable will fix that in short order. Britt has surprisingly good feet for 325lbs...

    Pick #45, 2nd Round: WR Paul Richardson, Colorado

    Richardson gives me really strong Mike Wallace vibes. I think Richardson has better hands (although some drops, some amazing catches) and fights for the ball surprisingly well for his size. Definitely not the pick I'd have made, but the fit is obvious. He will help take the top off the...

    Forgotten WR?

    Robinson is the best "big" WR in one important category - sinking his hips and generating separation at the top of his route, at least with short and mid range. The burst shows on his YAC too, he can cut and get back to full speed like a smaller receiver. I'm less than thrilled with some jump...

    Report: Seahawks only team interested in Sydney Rice.

    Past his prime? 27 is right about the middle of a WRs prime producing years. Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Pierre Garcon, Jordy Nelson, DeSean Jackson, Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, Vincent Jackson, and Jimmy Graham. All were in the top-15 in receiving yards last year, and all were at least 27...

    Who is this year's Bruce Irvin type surprise draft riser?

    Donte Moncrief is the surprise riser for me. He gives us the 50/50 threat, can separate deep, and consistently uses his size to block. He only runs the vertical routes, but he can at least sink his hips and get open on short routes. Yeah, I'd be surprised if he went in the first... but that's...

    Elder Scrolls Online

    I'm a huge MMO junky, even though with work/school I don't get much time anymore. I am sure it will be a letdown for the hardcore Elder Scroll fans, I like the series but I'm not all wrapped up in the lore so I can look at the game just compared to other MMORPGs: IMO, it's an MMO with RvR (or...

    NFL coaches on Wilson, according to Cossell

    I believe Cosell about the coaches. There's an appreciation in the NFL for guys who carry the load and do it well. The vast majority of teams are pass heavy, or have a bad QB (often both). They can't win if they run the ball more than they throw. So they value guys that can succeed throwing the...

    Cyrus Kouandjio... am I missing something?

    I just watched a couple games of his. Someone could make one hell of a highlight OR lowlight reel from just a few games. Strength, Aggressiveness, Athletic Talent, Footwork, Instincts... you name it, he demonstrated it very well and very poorly, sometimes on the same drive. Think DeMarcus...

    ASJ practice habits "dismal"

    Anyone know anything about NFLDraftBites? Are they considered a reliable source. Just this one quote feels a little bit like the character assassinations of Cam Newton and Geno Smith.

    Plays you wish to see from seattle

    Bunch formations. It seems, when we do have issues with getting open, it is in the short area that we struggle. Bunch formations should help our remaining WRs (who are a tad smaller than most) get off the line cleanly.

    Seahawks must prioritize O-line?

    Kearly - good points (although everyone in the NFL is hurt by midseason, and I don't even think our OL injury issues stand out among the NFL). But, then it goes back to the fact that our depth was so abysmal and dangerous to Wilson's health that we had to bring back our starters when they are...
