    Seahawks Draft review and Grade

    Good stuff. Agree in the overall assessment. I'm also high on the Charbonnet pick. It's like pairing Aaron Jones an AJ Dillon in Green Bay. They are perfect compliments. By midseason I think .net will love the pick to the same way they fell in love with K9. Hall + Mafe is an exciting pairing...

    No Day 2 Nose Tackle

    [Allow me to be tongue and cheek] .net: "I am so sick of PC/JS reaching for players instead of just taking BPA." Also .net: "Why are they not drafting for the greatest positions of need???" [In all seriousness] I saw a tweet last night that was basically saying: "In 5 years, you don't...

    Draft Day chat thread

    I know the board would implode... But hoping for Schoonmaker in the 3rd Just take DT Day 3 at this point.

    Will Levis not sticking around in KC for 2nd night

    Sounds like a Bo Callahan type move.

    Day 2 picks?

    The dream for me today is probably: Trade back for 1 or 2 more Day 3 Picks White Spears Schoonmaker Other very pleasant picks: Avila Tippman JMS Washington Ojulari Benton Pickens Musgrave Mayer

    Qbotf?

    There are no clear Franchise guys left in the draft. Best to wait until Day 3. Haener/DTR/Aidan O'Connell will likely be available Day 3. Geno is under cheap team control for 3 years. And barring major injury to our starters, will probably be a Top 10 QB next year. I think John and Pete are...

    Devon Witherspoon is a monster

    Pete comparing him to Polamalu is huge praise. I remember him being asked during the LoB's prime, who the best player he ever coached was, and he said Polamalu. I trust Pete's evaluations of DBs. And if he wanted Witherspoon because he saw shades of Polamalu, then that should alleviate any...

    The Reasons Why They Drafted This Way

    At the end of the day, we don't need to do mental gymnastics to see how these players are going to be good. Witherspoon starts day 1 on the Left Side. JSN starts day 1 in the slot. And the only surprise is that Seattle picked a corner, not that Witherspoon didn't deserve his draft slot...

    Unless someone trades up, Levis will be a 2nd rounder.

    I think the NFL is finally starting to get more refined in it's evaluation of the QB position. Moving towards intuitive playmakers at the position instead of scheme robots. With the proliferation of the Shanny/McVay offenses, teams know they can create easy schemes to maximize sub par QB...

    Well Richardson will be a bust.

    This is the same org than ruined Luck. And I think it's ARs worst fit. I get the Hurts comp and the offensive mind, but from overall team talent, to organizational clarity, and ownership meddling, I think it's a terribly run organization. Hope for the best, but man, poor guy.

    Pete Carroll Draft Clue #1

    Kraken… six letter, two syllable word… And if K = O, and R = R and E = E and A = H, and N = K… and we respell Kraken as Akkner… and then replace the letters with the code above… Kraken = Hooker Queue Illuminati Music.

    Pete Carroll Draft Clue #1

    (I know this is just Pete trolling, but I’ll play along.) Love is Blind… Someone that they didn’t meet with… Whose the only QB they didn’t meet with… … Oh no… it’s gonna be Hooker at #5!

    The Maelstrom Mock 2023 (With Thanks to Russell Wilson edition)

    Totally understand on Skinner. I just don’t see the consistent physicality that I saw from Kam at VT, and I think, for better or worse, Skinner will be living in that shadow day one. And to my untrained eye, I see stiff hips. Not just in his ability to be a fluid mover in coverage, but in how...

    The Maelstrom Mock 2023 (With Thanks to Russell Wilson edition)

    Glad to see some love for Mims. I don’t see him talked about enough. Would love to see him on the Hawks. Probably only point of disagreement is Skinner, but I can see why people would want to bet on the traits. Overall, I would be very satisfied with this draft. Probably to the same degree as...

    Common Sense.

    Because the best thing to do is draft the top performers from the combine only (perhaps using an aggregate athletic metric like SPARQ), and trade back to accumulate picks. A strategy this front office has never attempted before. Especially between 2013-2017, which were some of the worst...

    Levis odds of going #1 are skyrocketing

    This is one of those things that I want to be true. Just because it would be legendary that the first overall pick was leaked by some random acquaintance of Levis or his family/friends on Reddit. And next draft we’d be inundated with insane Reddit posts and every big name media person would be...

    Post your predictions

    Going for accuracy by volume: - Seattle trades down from #5. The return is underwhelming and does not include a 1st round pick in 2024. - One of Mazi Smith/Keeanu Benton/Zacch Pickens will be a Seahawk - One of Keion White/Ade Ade/Will McDonald will be a Seahawk - One of Cameron Young/Byron...

    Levis odds of going #1 are skyrocketing

    Agree. He’s the most accurate QB in this class and if I was Scott Fitterer, I’d draft Stroud. In many ways, I think Stroud plays the position like Geno Smith, but with a better arm. Stroud is such a mechanically precise QB and he maintains his accuracy off platform better than Geno. (I think...

    Levis odds of going #1 are skyrocketing

    It you equate accuracy with completion percentage we are speaking different languages. Baker Mayfield was a statistically accurate QB and has been a journeyman at best in the NFL. I would say accuracy can only be observed by watching the games and trying to understand why a QB placed a ball...
