Poll: Overall grade for Hawks Russell Wilson compensation selections

[Scout]

Still an A.

 

[Wsumatt1982]

I gave it an A. 4 of the 5 are solid players. To shore up 4 positions instead of 1 is what pushed me to an A

 

[CalgaryFan05]

I guess you could dock it for not coming out of it with a young QB considering two top 10 picks.

Well they certainly interviewed them all!

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Again, it’s strictly based on the draft selections.

Why?

 

[Jville]

Why?

That's my unanswered question as well.

Is the original post of incomplete trade information an attempt at poll steering for some undisclosed shaping of opinion? Opinion herding? Why was the 4th round pick the Broncos received excluded? While all the Seahawks draft picks were included?. Why was Russell Wilson included in the trade for consideration? But, all three of the veterans that the Seahawks received excluded.

Why not disclose all the trade details like so .......................................



How is a poll based on the incomplete polling information presented in the original post of any value. What good is it? What purpose does it serve? Is it some kind of attempt at cat herding?

As the OP, I wanted to see what folks thought of how they perceived the Seahawks did with the actual picks received. It is not a trade based poll, but rather a poll based on how you think the Seahawks did with the the choices they made with those picks. Think of it as when the Cowboys traded Herschel Walker to the Vikings, people aren’t talking about the Herschel Walker part but what actually the cowboys did with those picks.

It’s obvious the Seahawks won the trade.

Fleeced em.

 

[bileever]

Forgot to include the $250 million that you saved.

 

[Rat]

Forgot to include the $250 million that you saved.

That alone made it an A+, even if we had bombed all the picks.

 

[Seahawker]

John traded a once pristine, now high mileage & faded 1985 Camaro IROC-Z28 for 4 sixties muscle cars, 3 vintage daily drivers and a donor car we didn't need. They even paid us to do it.
How that isn't an A+/A I'm not sure.

 

[Dallashawksfan]

I changed my vote to A+

Even if they got nothing back, get rid of Wilson contract alone was an A

To be fair the rest of the package became irrelevant

 

[Jville]

irrelevant for some and yet relevant to others.

Events along a timeline provide insight.

Full event disclosure is fairness.

I really think that JSN should be included in this discussion. The Seahawks chose Spoon with the Broncos pick at #5 and then took JSN later in the first round. WR was not considered a position of need going into that draft, but with the added pick at #5 of Witherspoon whose position was needed, the JSN availability became a luxury pick.
Without the Wilson trade I highly doubt JSN would have been a Seahawk. Super Bowl LX would not have happened without that trade. RW helped win two Lombardis for the Seahawks.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Surprised JS wasn't arrested for Robbery.

 

[BirdsCommaAngry]

It's legitimately a contender for one of the worst trades of all time.

 

[rjas77]

Those picks resulted in a Lombardi Trophy..

A+++++++++

 

[silvergun]

 

[SonicHawk]

Won a super bowl. A+

 

[SKitsapHawk77]

Solid A to A+. Cross is one of the better L tackles in the league, Mafe has been good and should bring us a compensation pick if / when he signs elseware. I love Hall. He will continue to grow into a D Law type beast. Getting rid of a growing cancer in the clubhouse (Mr. Unlimited) his salary and getting Spoon along with the above. Only dreamers could ask for more.
