    Seahawk? I don't know if we'll see that bested by anyone.

    Shaun Alexander calling the picks

    SA in the open field and near the goalline were a thing of beauty. I get why some people prefer Beast, but if we had SA in that Pats Super Bowl... zero chance we're not running from the one yard line.

    Playoffs? Pre draft poll.

    Vegas did pretty decent with win totals last season as a whole. 16 teams did better, 16 did worse. Not too many huge outliers. Seven teams outperformed Vegas expectations more than the 2.5 we did.

    Anyone making that claim shouldn't be taken seriously. Obviously nobody is bust-proof. Doesn't make the draft a crapshoot. I think we all know that simply isn't true.

    Well, yeah. If ESPN doesnt maximize their ad revenue, they might only be able to have Stephen A Smith on for 23 hours a day rather than 23.5.

    Many players bust, that's why I said the draft is very hard. There are some teams and GMs that have drafted many more disappointments than others though. You could fit almost half of Russell Wilson's ego in the gap between "many picks don't work out" and "random chance".

    Playoffs? Pre draft poll.

    Keeping Arch on the bench was always the plan, so I wouldnt necessarily say that he "couldn't beat out Ewers" as much as Sarkisian was just very committed to the plan, but I agree fully with the rest of this. We can all debate how good a prospect Arch really is, but you're almost definitely not...

    The draft is very hard, it's not a crapshoot. If it was a crapshoot, basically every franchise and GM would have a similar success rate. Ozzie Newsome and Ron Wolf didn't hit on pick after pick because they were luckier than everyone else. There's a lot that goes into it, and smart teams are...

    If you go to the fan forums of other teams, every single one of them complain that the networks always go to commercial during their picks. I think the networks just play a lot of commercials.

    With their first round pick the Seahawks select….

    I've always hated that expression, personally. The draft is absolutely not a crapshoot. If it was a crapshoot, we wouldnt consistently see the hit rate of higher-drafted players dwarf the rate of each subsequent round. Loading up on mid-late round picks isn't playing the odds the way some think...

    Playoffs? Pre draft poll.

    We're due for a hard regression, mainly for two reasons. We were one of the healthiest teams in the league last year, and that isn't sustainable. Secondly, we can't depend on the division being as awful as it was again. We had basically no marquee wins and won't get away with just beating up...

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

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

    I hope you're not under the impression that anyone is laughing with you at this point.

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

    Kelly Stouffer a Starting Lineup figure?

    Very true. And I don't believe the franchise would again see such an epic battle until the 2019 fight between CJ Prosise and Rashaad Penny for the chair closer to the window in the training room.

    Yeah, that's legitimately a very good bang-for-your-buck brand.

    Staton is an idiot, but he makes a rare good point. Must be one of those times of day his hands were already on. There could be tremendous value in a first round trade up this year. We should absolutely be open to it.

    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.

    Who will have a better season, Hawks or Raiders?

    Around six or seven wins for each. Maybe a one game difference.
