Yeah, maybe. And maybe they don't without Nick Bosa.True, they probably don't without CMC though.
It's one of those 'what if' things.

Seahawks Spending over $40 million on 2 WRs (DK and Lockett). Meanwhile, the Chiefs, instead of signing Tyreke Hill to a massive payday, traded him and won 2 Super Bowls after that trade.
IMHO, one of our WRs need to go.
Never said there was only one way. Only that the two most recent dynasties followed the same blueprint.The Niners came within a gnat's ass of winning a Lombardi with Mr. Irrelevant.

The key is to not follow what is, but to chart your own course. I would trade DK, keep Lockett on a paycut deal, and try and find a QB tuit suite...or is it toot is sweet? Real fast, like begin this year, cut salary by dumping DK, make the D younger and faster, and aside from a QB search, find some O linemen, we haven't had a top 5 OL since Britt, and the rent a LT who ONCE was a pro bowler. I would try and follow the Detroit way, only with a mobile QB.. like Penix who also has an arm like a rocket... ORRR Bo Nix if possible. Love them both, Nix has the edge in youth and health IMO.
That's true, but who else are you going to use as a blueprint? Or do you just wing it?Without a QB like Mahomes paired with a league's best defense ; how do can you possibly follow KCs blueprint ? You don't . imo
Maybe - just maybe - the hawks finally have some cutting edge creative architects that draw up some of their own blueprints.That's true, but who else are you going to use as a blueprint? Or do you just wing it?
Innovator??If we follow the leader some new introverter will pass us by. We must be that introverter to dominant the NFL. Go get'em Mac !!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers
It's tout de suite.tuit suite...or is it toot is sweet
I think the Hawks could trade back in the first round and get McCarthy and a later round pick. We have lots of holes to fill. Lockett and Metcalf contracts are both high, I'm ok paying $24M for Metcalf but not $27.8M to Lockett too. Lockett has to restructure or get cut. Adams has to go at $26.9M. Diggs at $21.2M either needs to restructure now or perhaps give him one more year to prove himself under the new staff. Dissly at $10M for 17 receptions at 172 yards? No thanks. If you do all that, with the new salary cap at $249M you should have some room for new contracts on guys they're retaining and have enough left to get a couple guys like maybe Kendall Fuller and/or Mike Onwenu.I would try and follow the Detroit way, only with a mobile QB.. like Penix who also has an arm like a rocket...

“But I will say that that (Macdonald) understands the importance of the quarterback’s ability to create between two and five first downs with his legs a game. Those are monumental because the defense can do everything right, which he’s uniquely aware, and then all of a sudden the quarterback makes you wrong. J.J. has that ability.”
Yes, let's draft a top 5 all-time QB this spring.

More fuel for the fire on McCarthy:I think the Hawks could trade back in the first round and get McCarthy and a later round pick. We have lots of holes to fill.

His 89.2 Total QBR was third in the nation, trailing only Daniels and Nix. Both of those guys are at least two years older than McCarthy, who just turned 21 in January.
McCarthy's Total QBR is more impressive than his AY/A (9.8) partly due to the schedule he faced. More than 63% of his pass attempts came against top-50 defenses by SP+, and the average opposing defensive rank was 38.8. Both were toughest of the six quarterbacks we're looking at today.
