We should have a half-decent first round pick position. Do we use it on a good player, do we try and turn it into 18 5th round picks, or what?

It'll depend on how the draft is playing out.

Unfortunately, since there have been a trend Pete Carroll does this, I pretty much expect this to happen.GeekHawk":3m5mlnpp said:

Maybe we could trade 15 of those 5th round picks for a new OC and a cracked fungo...

Might be high enough to draft a starter on the OL hopefully. Either that or maybe a WR/RB drops. I would be shocked if we draft someone on D again although maybe another CB?

I have never been more convinced that OC is not the problem. It is bigger than that.Anthony!":2sy9eyva said:

It's not bigger than that. It's exactly that.
Perfect scenario is if one of RB Saquon Barkley, OG Quenton Nelson, OT Mike McGlinchey, OT Connor Williams drops to where the Hawks pick.
But since that likely won't happen, I'm hoping for a couple trade downs into the early 2nd round getting an extra 3rd (or two 3rds) and a 4th.

Amazing, the OC is "exactly the problem" with every team in football. What a coincidence.GeekHawk":1gmyvoxa said:

We’re gonna finish 9-7. We will have one of the lowest draft picks of the non playoff teams. Not a good position to be in. Feels like the Erickson years all over again.

How is it bigger than that? Of course there are different contributors to our downfall, but who should take the most blame?iigakusei":13li7t8k said:
Is there a possibility to get a QB who is better than Russell? No, so that's out of the picture.
Do our WRs suck? They aren't world beaters but get shit done with a solid gameplan.
Does the Oline suck? Yes, but we seem to be unable to improve that. At least we are trying.
The only one left is the OC and he is responsible for looking at the different parts of the offense and getting the most out of them. Do you believe he calls the best plays? If Russell has problems with the Dline consistently one might have the idea to call screens and short fast passe. Not our OC. We are trying to go deep way too often, and if it doesn't work, we just try it even more.

No, it is bigger than that. The defense was getting manhandled right from the start. Nothing to do with Bevell. The special teams coverage was awful. Nothing to do with Bevell.

It's pretty much all of the above!Seanhawk":vxeziuyn said:
The Seahawks generally trade out of the bottom of the 1st round because there aren't any 1st rd players left.
In any given draft there are only about 15-20 1st rd graded players. So value wise it makes sense to trade down, and pick up an extra 4th. To still get a player of the same value, and get an extra pick out of it. It is a good strategy.
The Seahawks drafted Thomas & Okung without trading down in the 1st, if the talent is there they will pick. If it isn't they will trade down.
Its not about players at this point though. It is all about the coaching staff. Until that is fixed talking player acquisition is moot.
