Say what you want but we absolutely nailed this draft. John is on a ******* heater

Zabel: Day one starter at guard. Aggressive and finishes blocks. A

Ewamurri: What a steal here. Absolute beast. Slots right in opposite Love and can move around. A+

Arroyo: Lots of mixed opinions here but he is going to be GREAT in this scheme. Stretches the field with great hands. A-

Milroe: Another divisive pick. Immediately steps in as a Taysom Hill type with a ceiling of Lamar Jackson. I LOVE it at 92. A+

Mills: GREAT pick here. Dinged for injury but apparently will be ready for camp. Zach Allen comp. A-

Horton: Another great pick. Again dinged for injury but if healthy, he's the immediate WR3 and a great compliment to JSN and Coop. A

Ouzts: Well, we got our FB! Brady Russell on the outs? B

Cabeldue: Another GREAT late round pick. Athletic mauler that projects as a guard. Will challenge Haynes. A

Martinez: Just keeps getting better. Fantastic pick. Dude is a hammer. 71% of his yards came after contact. A

A/A+ overall. Just an incredible draft by John and Mike. I am so stoked for this team and this BETTER fill the seats with 12s again. Idk how you don't come away from this draft elated.
I haven’t read the thread or even your whole post but…..

This may end up being one of the best ever.

The complainers can eat a bag, if you can’t get excited about the Seahawks right now you probably should look for another team or take up knitting.

A/A+ draft grade IMO

zabel will power the line, unlike TOmlinson who sucked with only 65 pass blocking and even lower 59.7 run blocking.

I hope so. Seems like it rarely happens for us. It would be nice if he came in and had a rookie season like Dominic Puni did for SF last season. There is an almost identical comp for Zabel and that's Graham Barton last season. I think Barton's going to be a good one and he didn't suck his rookie season but he didn't exactly light it up either.

So I'm hoping for solid with flashes that just gives you that feeling that he's going to be a really good one.

For an O lineman to come in and not stink is pretty good. I read an article outlining the frequency of O lineman drafted and starting right away and the amount of guys coming in right away and being good was surprisingly low.

I wish I understood the pessimism, but then again, I'm glad I don't. Some people are just angry.

I am ecstatic, I have been that way after a draft for decades, I allowed and will allow myself post-draft high and happiness, until reality sets in and proves me wrong.

With that, cheers, I am going for a double Manhattan.

this is a gear many of us settle into, and it's not wrong, it's experience

This was a great draft overall. I liked all the picks. It is extremely evident that Coach Mike is building this like the Ravens. A lot of these picks are being compared to current Ravens players. Milroe to Jackson, Emmanwori to Hamilton etc...

Draft what can’t be coached and coach up the deficiencies that allowed you to draft them.. Solid A in my book!
