    POLL: Are You A Draft Grumbler?

    That's completely reasonable of course. You watch college football and form opinions about players. Discussing those opinions is interesting, particularly when they are different. I wouldn't have picked an oft-injured TE at #50 as the heir apparent to our oft-injured veteran TE. Now that...

    POLL: Are You A Draft Grumbler?

    5th option for me; the draft is a crapshoot and "grading" it immediately is just an exercise in restating your previous opinions. Nobody knows if the guys we are picking are going to hit, including Schneider. Of course that view doesn't generate clicks or radio talk. Training camp this summer...

    Four picks one OL selected

    In my view our first three picks were serious needs. The zone LG we never replaced in free agency, a DB who can cover TEs, and a big target with great catch radius who can get open downfield. Those are roles that we needed, even though iOL/S/TE are towards the bottom of the positional value...

    O-Line talk is "lazy narrative"

    I agree with this, and in my view that's why extending players is a key part of the equation that we've been missing the last decade. Once Damien Lewis became a UFA it was sensible to let him walk. His cap hits the next three years for the Panthers are 14.5m, 16.75m and 16.75m and his...

    Mock morons

    It doesn't make much sense to root for specific positions in my view outside of the top few picks. The other teams are smart too, and when it comes to our selection at #18 we'll get a reasonably fair choice between overall player ability and positional value. If a highly regarded player is...

    Season ticket rate increase

    Right, but we do get one extra preseason game and we all know that is just as valuable as a regular season game.

    Seattle to get 3 compensatory picks (projection)

    IIRC we traded a 2025 4th round pick for Ernest Jones, a 2025 5th round pick for Leonard Wiliams and a 2025 6th round pick for Trevis Gipson.

    Good writeup MM/State of the team/Offseason hints.

    Exactly, Pete Carroll would never have fired the offensive coordinator he brought along from USC after the very first season when he thought it wasn't working.

    Seattle to get 3 compensatory picks (projection)

    I've been critical of the FO on many issues lately but managing comp picks well in 2024 was a good move. The draft is essentially throwing darts at a dart board and quantity is the way to discover quality; the more picks that you have the more chances you get to find good players. The part I...

    Move Christian Haynes to center!

    You do know that Pete was still here when we drafted Charles Cross? The guys that I listed are the ones we drafted last off-season without Pete in the building.

    Move Christian Haynes to center!

    Coaches like and dislike certain players and obviously they have that prerogative. However, it's clear that our offensive coaching staff last season didn't like either Haynes or Olu and we'll likely never get the full story why. As a first approximation it's usually the players that are the...

    Move Christian Haynes to center!

    Would you elaborate on this; which OL are you referring to? Sataoa Laumea, Michael Jerrell, and Christian Haynes all struggled mightily last season in pass protection. Sundell was ok, but only in a tiny sample size (16 true pass set snaps).

    How culpable is GM John Schneider?

    Sure, if it can be justified as a short term rental alone then there's no need for an extension. However, if you are giving away day 1 or 2 draft capital for a player that is about to be expensive then you should be very, very confident that they are not just going to fit your team but become...

    POLL: NET Temp

    I'm somewhere in between options 2 and 3. The first two poll options strikes me as too short term focused. We're currently over the cap in 2025 with some bad contracts, still need to find an OC, and still need to come to an agreement with key FAs such as Ernest Jones. A bit of patience and...

    How culpable is GM John Schneider?

    We see this the same and it should be a ironclad rule. If we are giving up serious draft capital for a player then the extension needs to be worked out as part of the deal, no exceptions.

    If you could do it again...

    Verse looks like an absolute hit and so it would be crazy not to take him in hindsight. That being said, if we had access to perfect information then we'd do everything differently so it's kind of a moot point. It's hard to fault the logic in taking Murphy where we did.

    Geno cap hit vs. Me3 cap hit before trade.

    Taking money from the future needs to be justified on a case by case basis. Would we be better off this year if we hadn't borrowed 2025 money to fund a 2024 campaign where we missed the playoffs anyway? That seems pretty obvious. Nwosu, Fant, and Jones alone combined for 26m cap in 2024 and...

    Best bridge QB for 2025

    It makes sense to me to keep Geno on the existing deal for one year at the incremental price tag of $31m. He's worth a little more than that probably. My concern is that the front office has an incentive to sign him to an extension so they can lower this year's cap hit and borrow from the...

    With the 18th pick…

    For those who are interested, here's where each team got their current OL starter next to the PFF Pass Block (Pb)/Run Block(Rb) scores.

    With the 18th pick…

    Of course, and my point is only referring to draft capital. It's true that we haven't paid OL, but how much of that is because the OL we have drafted haven't really been worth big extensions? It's more that we're drafting the wrong people rather than not drafting the position, and taking a...
