John Schneider has said things that indicate to me that he let someone influence some of his picks. Like Rashad Penny, Germaine Ifedi, Dee Eskeridge, and I'm positive taht Cable wanted lazy butt James Carpenter.
I'm almost positive that this was the case. Carroll wanted complete control when he came here. Carroll saw lack of control as being the main contributors to his downfall in New England and New York. Schneider in GB seemed to take a more conventional approach to things. Carroll is also the guy that ultimately ended up hiring Schneider, so the power dynamic has always been skewed towards Carroll.John Schneider has said things that indicate to me that he let someone influence some of his picks.

I've listened to a lot of seahawks interviews over the year, including a bunch from JS. I've only heard that John treats the draft as his choice but allows input from all departments. As he should.John Schneider has said things that indicate to me that he let someone influence some of his picks.

Come on, you should at least provide some sort of source if you're going to be promoting 100% speculation like this. Who did you hear it from?There have been some leaks that the scouting department said Pete would override John and the scouting team for early picks that turned out to be terrible. Who knows if its true or not. There are also rumors that this year Pete stepped back a little for this process and let John take the lead which if he did and they hit he deserves credit for.
Someone else already posted they heard the same thing from Duggar. I don’t remember where I heard it because it was months ago. I know cowherd also talked about it and if you search Pete Carroll and cowherd I bet it pops.Come on, you should at least provide some sort of source if you're going to be promoting 100% speculation like this.

That’s pretty strong and obviously there are many years left before the question can be tackled. I’d say on paper and with early returns, this class has a lead. Then you’ll get to the quantity vs quality aspect of the debate if this class has 5 or 6 perennial pro-bowlers with 1 or fewer HoF candidates, is that better than a class with 1 first ballot lock and 1 probable but not much else?2010 had Earl Thomas and Kam who are in the HoF conversation, plus Tate and Okung who were long term highly rated starter in the league at skill positions, so probably this. McCoy and Thurmond were also decent role players
It's surprising that analytics-heavy PFF thinks that Walker should have been drafted in the 1st round. Maybe the pendulum is swinging back. Even Shanahan, who thinks you can put anyone in at RB, decided that maybe it makes a difference if you have a decent RB and went and got CMC at a hefty price.Walker may win OROY and there's people that still wouldn't have drafted him in the 1st round.
