    Jalen Carter wanted in connection with car crash that killed teammate

    I think I saw that the charges were misdemeanors. With a $1000-2000 fine and community service the most likely penalty. With this coming out during the combine, I think that gives teams plenty of time to dig into the charges and get comfortable with the character. Maybe it breaks a tie...

    Athletic Podcast: Fitterer likes Levis, Trade Up Potential

    In the March 1 Episode of the Athletic Football Podcast, they had a Panther's reporter on and went into draft strategy. Based on what he's hearing, the Panthers have been enamored with Will Levis since last season. His expectation is that Fitterer will look to trade up with Seattle at 5. They...

    Rumor: Hawks To Make Serious Run At Hargrave?

    Right. But JS’s point (I think it was on the GM Journey with Tom Dimitroff) was that he wouldn’t bring in an outside FA or traded player and immediately make them the highest paid player on the team. So if they signed Hargrave to $20 mil APY, DK would still be the highest paid player. And JS...

    Rumor: Hawks To Make Serious Run At Hargrave?

    Rumor: Hawks To Make Serious Run At Hargrave?

    John Schneider has gone on record as saying that he will never make an outside player the highest paid player on the team again. (He referenced how doing that with Percy caused a lot of issues on the team.) So unless he's changed his mind, this is either BS, or Geno is going to be the highest...

    Is Anthony Richardson worth pick 5?

    I think the only 2 QBs worth drafting at #5 are Anthony Richardson and Bryce Young in that order. And if either is there I wouldn't fault JS for taking them. (Especially if Carter/Anderson are off the board.) Richardson has the best pocket movement in the draft and his running ability should...

    Trading Baker Mayfield

    I don’t think the salary is the problem. The Browns have the second most cap space of any team with Baker on the books. They don’t need to trade Baker. If they ate 15 mil of his salary they go up to #1 in cap space. Salary is not the problem. The hold up is that no one is willing to trade [what...

    What if Denver craps the bed

    Odds are super low that the Broncos pick is anything higher than a mid twenties pick. As a devoted Hawks fan, I will root for Denver to go winless. Not out of hate for Russ, but out of a desire to inflate the value of the picks. I just can’t see it happening. I would expect Russ to explode in...

    The 2022 NFL Draft Hill

    I think Seattle take Ebiketie at 9 or after a short trade down. But it’s Pete and John so it’ll surprise us all and we’ll hate it. Edit: Which worked out for Jordyn Brooks, but not Collier. And JS said in his post combine press conference that they would’ve drafted Fant in 2019 in the first...

    Carson Strong (QB Nevada)

    So in general I’m not worried about his accuracy. I don’t think its a core problem. But when his feet aren’t right, he tends to miss high. (RW did this too, it’s really not rare). But he’s more than accurate enough for the NFL.

    Carson Strong (QB Nevada)

    Strong is my favorite in this class. And can be had at a point where I think he’s worth taking a shot. He’s not mobile, but has some of the best pocket presence of any QB in this class. He’s great at solving problems post snap, throwing the deep ball, and taking advantage of one on one’s. He...

    Desmond Ridder Visits Seahawks

    This fan base would destroy any first round QB that isn’t an immediate, impact player. Every mistake is going to be “If we had Wilson…” Imagine if Mac Jones had replaced Brady day 1? I’m for waiting a season. Or drafting a later round QB with lower expectations. The fan base needs to adjust...

    If Thibodeaux is there at 9 do you take him?

    This is fair. The 4th LT off the board could have a better career than the 1st EDGE. It's an eye of the beholder thing. Would you rather have Trevor Penning or KT? I'd probably say KT. But if you feel like Penning is a anchor on the left side for the next 5 years, you take him.

    If Thibodeaux is there at 9 do you take him?

    In this I think I’d disagree. Seattle needs a game wrecking pass rusher and KT is probably the best edge talent in this draft. Great explosion, great bend. He’s a bit of a Von Miller type (though not saying he’s going to have a career like Miller). I think drafting KT is fulfilling Clint...

    Okay - seriously. WTF is the global plan here.

    I mean, Pete is the coach and John’s the GM regardless of how we feel right? Only time is going to prove whether they’re wrong or right. Might as well try and guess what they’re doing.

    Okay - seriously. WTF is the global plan here.

    I think there are clear elements. 1) Move to a 3-4 defense capable of more man coverage. 2) Preserve 2023 Cap Space 3) Maintain certain leader voices (Diggs, Dissly) And I think that is the best you can do in this situation. Now it's about keeping tabs on certain Free Agents like Geno, Shell...

    If Thibodeaux is there at 9 do you take him?

    A lot of what I’ve seen have been “He doesn’t love football.” Or “He likes videogames.” The same concerns were said about Myles Garrett. I’d sprint to the podium. And I like guys like Ebiketie, Walker, and Johnson a lot. But I think KT is the best EDGE in this class.

    Desmond Ridder

    It’s hard to judge Strong because of his knee injury. He’s discussed how it affected his mechanics and how Jordan Palmer is helping him focus on engaging his whole body on throws which would generate more velocity and help with his shaky accuracy. Every throw he made last season is almost pure...

    Matt Corral observations/scouting

    Corral’s deep shot decision making is another issue. He doesn’t adjust to the post snap coverage if he has already made up his mind pre snap.
