Wish we had Derrick Henry :(

K9's great. But I really wish that we had tried to snag Henry.

Dude's a tank!

What would he do behind our line? K is great but he has nothing in front of him...stop the fantasy nonsense.

 

[Seahawk_Dan]

Can he play guard?

 

[AROS]

Yeah man, doesn't matter if we have Walter Payton or Jim Brown. You need soldiers and studs to pave the way.

We don't have that.

Can he play guard?

Or anything not Cross at this point

Henry would make a lot of offensive lines look better than they are. Such a ridiculous talent. Imagine how even more highly-regarded he would have been had his career began 20-30 years earlier.

His high school tape is a fun watch. It's difficult to not feel for the poor, genetically-inferior defenders who would jump into his path even though it was basically suicide.

If he can’t play defense or right side of the line then we have much bigger problems to solve

 

[Mistashoesta]

I was crucified for bringing up this idea months back (in addition to drafting McCormick and/or Puni in the mid rounds). I also thought we should bring in Luvu currently in DC.

Maybe I should put in an application for GM. I'll keep yall updated as to how that goes.

He'd run to the outside

And I'm allowed to wish for whatever I want

 

[Sperrydogg]

I mean yeah me too. Like wishing the mariners had Showtime Otani

 

[Chukarhawk]

he would struggle behind this line

 

[seabowl]

Running back is one of our strongest positions. Why not just ask for Patrick Mahomes?

Derrick Henry is a phenomenal player, and I have little doubt he'd be having an excellent season here. I'm not upset that we didn't pursue him though, as it wouldn't have made much sense with our personnel, and giving a second (third in this case) contract to a running back is nearly always a bad idea. If anyone was going to buck the trend though, I'm not surprised it was Henry.
