Pick #120 TE Will Dissly

[FidelisHawk]

In Dissly’s defense he’s only played TE at the college level for two years. He has a lot more to learn and is hardly a polished product as a blocker or a pass catcher.

So far we've added a rough-and-tumble RB, a fresh pass rusher, and a blocking TE. Imagine their names are Marshawn Lynch, Michael Bennett, and Zach Miller and ask again how we're drafting. I think we're doing just fine.

I tried that with Ifedi as Walter Jones but it didn't work.

lmao i just go with ifedi as curry end of conversation :irishdrinkers: :irishdrinkers:

Can I request to have my user name changed? I don't want to be confused with this other Nate the Great guy and his outlandish thoughts which I in no way agree with.

Please do, by the way my outlandish thoughts are shared by many draft experts and scouts (as shown by the tweet earlier by an NFL scout who saw the fifth round as the BEST CASE SCENARIO for Dissly). The pick isn't bad per se I just think its too early to be picking him.
I know thats simply an outrageous thought though.

Panned by Bleacher.

That's like being panned by the homeless dude on the corner. Bleacher's opinion may, in fact, be worth even less. :roll:

How dare you besmirch the reputation of the homeless dude on the corner with that dastardly comparison. He reads the paper.

We suck at drafting.

I still have faith but pass blocking tight ends should not be drafted. It's hard to believe that you wouldn't take a flyer on somebody else with a little high ceiling.

Pass blocking TE's should NOT be drafted?? I'm sorry - not sorry - but this is something only someone who doesn't understand football would say.

 

[Mistashoesta]

Nobody is saying they don't want a blocking TE were just saying you can find one in the 7th round or udfa or go sign Brent Celek to a league minimum deal!.

He's 33. Why get him for a one year rental to temporarily plug the hole when you could draft someone who is ideal for what you want at the position and have that spot taken care of for the next 3-4 years or so?

Go back and look at the number Zach Miller put up at ASU and Oakland before he got to Seattle. They are not the same type of player.

Yeah hopefully we trade up for a fullback next

 

[pittpnthrs]

Just draft your highest ranked OLmen and maybe we don't need a blocking TE.

Exactly.

He's 33 and still could run a faster 40 the Dissley, plus he's a proven commodity. Spend your 4th on somebody with upside on the OL

2 of those picks could have been had later in my opinion. I know it doesnt mean anything, but I bet we receive the lowest draft grade this year.

 

[Blitzer88]

We suck at drafting.

Just because he's a Husky............right?

No, because it’s Will freakin dissly. There are a few huskies I would have been really happy if we drafted.

There will be about 30 good blocking tight ends that sign with teams as Undrafted free agents.

True, but the Seahawks drafted a great run blocking TE, they didn't want good and Mayock and Kiper seemed to be very pleased with the pick.

 

[xgeoff]

We suck at drafting.

I understand the pick but why not wait to use a sixth or even one of our many fifth round picks? No one was projecting this guy anywhere close to the fourth round.

Yeah, in general I like every one of our picks so far. I'm just feeling that, as usual, we are reaching up to get them. I think we did the same with guys like Bruce Irvin and Justin Britt. I just don't think these guys are on anyone's radar at these spots. That being said, there seems to be evidence that the Browns were going to take Penny early in the 2nd, so who knows.

Ultimately I think we're getting good guys, we'll just have to see if they pan out. If this kid starts opening up holes for Penny and Penny takes it to the house, we'll all support taking these guys where we did.

When draft grades win games, I'll care.

 

[AROS]

Arguably the best run blocking TE in the entire draft. Ummm ... ya think that Carroll and the Hawks are serious about fixing the running game and getting back to Seahawks football?

Exactly.

Well, since the Hawks' 2012 draft was universally graded an "F"...

 

[Thepeelsessions]

Exactly. Zach Miller was an excellent pass catching TE who just so happened to be an equally good blocking TE. He and Dissly are very different players. If Miller never would've been signed by Seattle, he most likely would've been a perennial pro bowler. He was that good as a pass catching TE.
