With their first round pick the Seahawks select….

I can't imagine ANY team has been on commercial more than the Hawks during their selections over the years.

The question was very simple, but as usual has morphed into a myriad of discussions.

Again here is the question:

With their first pick in the 2025 draft, the Seattle Seahawks select….

(Mykel Williams)!!!!

Thank YOU for making a pick!!!

The nerve of some people... letting a discussion thread on a discussion board devolve into a discussion.

Not to be a hard ass, but there’s plenty of other threads discussing these other topics.

I just wanted to have a simple thread, asking everyone’s opinion on who they believe the Seahawks will make their first pick.

The confusion probably came from your post not saying anything like that.

If we are talking about boom or bust edge players, the real gems are the ones that are elite athletes. I will still take a great athlete at edge. The game changers are your elite athletes. Try and score as many elite athletes at edge as much as possible.

Think, Julius Peppers and Myles Garrett!

Yeah but those guys went #2 and #1 respectively.

You can't think Peppers or Garrett because you don't have a chance at that. The players you get at #18 are going to come with some warts.

They either have the juice but not the production or they have the production but don't quite have the juice.

(1 pick only please)

Josh Simmons (OT/Guard OSU)

Are you sure about that?

And then you discussed your reasoning for the pick. And didn't use the phrase "no discussion please".

Most of these tackles will convert to guard in the pros so this a deep draft with OGs for that reason but JS better not screw this up.

How successful is the moving a college tackle to NFL guard strategy? Not questioning it, just wondering how well it works.

I get it, but many of these discussions went off into tangents off topic like saying that we’re gonna go into commercial break and we’ll trade the pick down without the member ever mentioning who they thought we would pick with our first pick. No big deal.

While not likely I'm going Jaxon Dart. Darnold to me much like Geno is capable of getting you 7-11 wins but isn't taking you to the promise land. At some point we need to address the most important postion on the field.

Because we always go to commercial break and then a trade will happen it will take reading the ticker for 15 minutes to know what happened since commentators have moved on. It's valid for our pick discussion since it has happened at least 3 times I can remember. Also, since a trade happened, we don't know when our next pick is until we get some information, I made the player selection for the spot just not for the Seahawks.

I don't usually get into the anti-Seahawk media bias stuff...but I read that every one of our eight draft picks last year happened on commercial break. That's got to be intentional.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

It got to the point where we just laughed every time. Not a huge deal or anything, just funny.

 

[TeamoftheCentury]

We already have ten picks and Schneider hasn't moved down in the first in six years. We're not drafting high enough, nor is the first round deep enough, where moving down is likely to net us a bevy of day 2 picks.

Feels largely pointless. We only have so many roster spots for rookies.

Well, you improve your roster by bringing in talent that can challenge for spots. That's not pointless at all. That's football.

Nah man

I notice this year after year

If you guys agree that the draft is not predictable than taking more shots at it makes sense. IF there isn't a guy that you feel really strongly about.

Great comment and needed to be said. I don't agree that the draft is just a crapshoot. If so, just throw darts at a board with hidden names assigned to the numbers. No, that's not it at all. Try to make informed decisions. Sometimes take a chance. But, there's also wisdom in getting more picks, more UDFA's. You never know when you might land a Doug Baldwin.
