    Your best realistic first round

    They hedged LG with Laken Tomlinson. I would imagine they're comfortable plugging him in and don't see LG as the preeminent immediate need.

    Mike MacDonald removes Carroll related Seahawks imprint

    This is definitely a bit of peacocking from Macdonald, but you kind of have to peacock when you're an NFL coach trying to build a winner. There's no ideal way to follow up a legend. You're either stuck in his shadow or you're disrespecting the past, or whatever the peanut gallery wants to say...

    What we drafted from 2021-2023

    Charbonnet notched almost 500 yards last year and has bell-cow potential. Has a spark. I wouldn't call it a COMPLETE waste. JSN also had a very nice rookie year. Doesn't feel like it, but he got to over 600 yards by end of year. That's a real nice year for a rookie wideout behind Lockett and...

    Your best realistic first round

    The Ravens played Brent Urban, a 300+ lb. long-armed 6'7" guy in this role. He was the only guy on their roster officially labeled as a defensive end while they rostered 5 guys designated as defensive tackles. Leonard Williams, Dre'Mont Jones, Mike Morris, and Myles Adams would all be options...

    Rashaad Penny visits Seattle

    While this is true, it's hard to defend the wisdom of the Eagles offensive staff after the year they had. That said, yeah, he's probably done or close to it. I'd imagine they have a good idea of where he's at after this visit.

    Pete Carroll at UW spring training

    Aye. It wasn't great, especially given that in hindsight all he really had to do was hold stronger to his core defensive tenets rather than try to expand and modernize. Carroll's defense still works in the league, and he ceded control to dudes who tried to half-install a different tree of...

    Pete Carroll at UW spring training

    48-35 over those 5 years isn't mediocrity, though. It's just disappointing compared to the absurd standard he set by putting together one of the most imposing and destructive forces the NFL has ever seen.

    Rashaad Penny visits Seattle

    Seems like the front office is still smart. You kick the tires on gamebreaking talent whenever you can. Penny is a proven team elevator in his limited time at 100%. Don't care how his injury past has shaken out. I don't eschew free looks at low price guys with insane talent because I'm upset...

    Your best realistic first round

    I think it'd be preferable to preemptively replace Taylor, and I can't count on Hall yet for quality depth as he's still an unknown. Part of it isn't so much need, though, as it is me thinking that Verse is a talent worthy of potentially declining a trade down. Edge isn't first, second, or...

    Your best realistic first round

    Two top options I'm gravitating toward: Trade down into the 20s and select Jer'Zhan Newton. Stick and pick Jared Verse (or Latu, if available, but preferably Verse.) I could kinda get behind Fautanu after a trade down, but I think I'd be a bit disappointed in selecting a guard convert with...

    JS: "Role hasn't changed" with Pete out

    I'm sure that's true that the player acquisition was tailored at times to the assistant coaches who had more latitude like Cable, but at the same time, what kind of shitty GM wouldn't tailor his choices to his coaches? Ifedi and Carpenter weren't awful choices, either. Ifedi was a physical...

    Seahawks sign Max Pircher

    This is the kind of dude I'd like us to keep stocking up on. Keep cycling through the athletic guys with the elite frames while we've got an incoming OC who got to where he is by being a stud OL coach. We wanna lean on that to find us some gems.

    JS: "Role hasn't changed" with Pete out

    Bold to assume the Jody Allen even has a real grasp on what the issues are, considering her and Kolde's handling of the Blazers. This is what we need to avoid at all costs. Jody thinking she knows the issues better than real football people.

    Robot or Emotion

    You need something in the middle, most of the time. A guy who can remain decently level but has enough genuine emotion to inspire the guys around him. Guys like Stafford are the prototype for me. I lean fiery as long as they aren't too prone to getting swept away in the riptide of the game and...
