    Desmond Ridder

    For me it comes down to whether he can get that River/Ryan/Brady elite pocket presence. And I think he’s already close. But, in a weird way, I think he maximizes the players on our roster. He loved TEs at Nevada (Fant) and loved the deep ball (Lockett/Metcalf). I just worry about him behind a...

    Desmond Ridder

    This is closer to how I feel about him as a prospect as well. Major questions about accuracy and arm strength. If I had to take a QB in this draft, I'd take Carson Strong in the 3rd. I think he's undervalued based on mobility but ran the offense from the LoS while at Nevada, played last year...

    Desmond Ridder

    I’m becoming pretty convinced that Ridder is the QB (if any) that Seattle has identified as a target in this draft. Ridder is mobile, all he did was win at Cincy, he has 10”+ hands, and Seattle was openly absent from his Pro Day. We have to remember that when Wilson was their target, they met at...

    Who are the stars now?

    Not flashy but I love Jordyn Brooks. I think he got an all pro vote last year playing in Bobby’s shadow. And Adams, for better or worse, is a star. One of the few players that is a league wide name.

    Drew Lock vs Geno Smith

    The camp battle we’ve all been waiting for… Honestly, I would rather do that than trade a pick for Baker. Draft a QB like Carson Strong in the late 2nd or at 72 and roll the dice.

    Jordan Davis DT

    Agreed. They need a Vince Wilfork to make this all work. And (to quote a tweet I saw recently) Davis is Wilfork in the body of a grizzly bear. But as pointed out on the recent Cigar Thoughts Podcast, I think Seattle is going to grade Jermaine Johnson extremely high because he rushes off the...

    Desmond Ridder

    My only issue with Ridder is the accuracy problems. If they are correctable, he has a shot to be really good. If they aren't, I fear he is another Jake Locker. I'll add that he is working with Jordan Palmer, and he claims the accuracy problems are issues with the strength/conditioning he...

    Trading DK

    DK is worth a 1st+ but not (yet) worth what Adams just got. His skill set is pretty defined at this point and if you don't have a QB with a great deep ball (Like Russ) you're unlikely to get the most out of him. If I was the Chargers I'd be calling everyday to pair DK with Herbert. And you...

    Jordan Davis DT

    Jordan Davis feels like the player this year that will be there at 9, that will make us collectively hold our breath while we wait for the pick, and Seattle passes on him. It's not always a bad thing. Brooks has turned out to be good. Taylor looks promising. But Dee vs Creed is still a...

    Seahawks DISCUSSING Baker Mayfield, GO GET HIM

    Dude is, at best, worth a 4th. But if Wentz gets 2 3rds, that’s probably the baseline for Baker. Just sign Geno. Seattle was competitive in his 3 starts. Baker cannot be much of an upgrade by comparison.

    Seahawks: REJECTED!

    The year they drafted Wilson, PC/JS flew to try and woo Manning and were rejected. I don’t really care who said no. Either way, Seattle avoids being saddled to another pissed off QB. If the Seahawks traded for Watson, after trading Russ, it shows bad process and would make the franchise worse...

    Watson cleared by Grand Jury.

    Let’s set aside the sexual assault allegations (which will always be a part of the conversation) and look at it from a football perspective: 1) The trade may cost you more than what you got back for RW. Watson is younger and Carolina is willing to sell the state to land a QB. Both teams are out...

    Wagner claims FO didn't tell him he was being released first

    This is unacceptable based on the public persona Pete and John exude. If you want to act like Belichick behind closed doors, act like it to the public. But don’t pretend to be pro-player and treat one of the perennial good dudes of the last 10 years like this. If you’re an asshole behind...

    Matt Corral

    I know this probably will not happen, but I am talking myself into Carson Strong. Assuming his medicals checked out at the combine, he could be a steal on Day 2. I love his pocket movement his arm strength (Playing on 1 Leg) is great (& should be better when healthy), he makes line checks...

    Matt Corral

    I like Corral. He has great traits but he's such a tough evaluation because of the Lane Kiffin offense. I would not be upset by this pick so long as there is a bridge to let him sit for some time behind a proven starter.

    Ed Donatell likely being hired away as Vikings DC

    A bit of a bummer if true. Donatell has a lot of experience that I think could help out the younger Desai/Scott/Hurtt. It'll be interesting to see how this slow moving coaching cycle shakes out when all the dust settles.

    Players You Like?

    Question that I would ask in its own thread if it wouldn't lead to Russ speculation. But does anyone like any QB in this class? Because I've been watching them and they all seem like extremely flawed prospects. Just curious if anyone actually likes any of the QBs. And if so, why?
