    Who does Seattle pick at #5? (Poll)

    If soulfish is laughing every time you make a post, be proud of what you've posted. Soulfish's laugh emojis serve as a valuable public service to the board. If you're in a hurry and don't have time to read every post, skim through and read everything soulfish laughed at. Nine times out of ten...

    Poll: Does JS Stay At #5 Or Trade Out?

    If you actually want a "simple yes or no", why interject your personal spin/bias into the wording of the poll? This is a legitimate question on my part, not trying to be a dick here.

    What about Hooker?

    Too old? QBs often have success later in their career as compared to other positions. They also come into their prime later than other positions. Hooker may not work out in the NFL, but it won't be because he is too old to take a couple of years to develop and learn.

    Marquis Goodwin

    I think it is too early to write Eskridge off as a bust. On average, how long does it take WRs to acclimate to the NFL and become productive? How do injuries, team scheme, depth at the position, QB turnover, etc. impact the development of a young receiver? I keep hearing analysts say that WR is...

    Seahawks before the Senior Bowl 2023 mock draft

    Given the age and experience of our offensive line, especially if we add a rookie guard, I think investing in an experienced center to lead the group provides value above the on-field positional value of the player. Just my two cents on the overall make-up of the unit.

    Seahawks before the Senior Bowl 2023 mock draft

    No need to throw a hissy fit just because someone doesn't understand your position or agree with your opinions on an internet forum. 1) Ethan Pocic - he was outstanding in 2022 solid in previous years and has familiarity with the system, Connor McGovern and Garrett Bradbury - both are above...

    I would draft based off of these Stats

    What production is decreasing here?

    Seahawks before the Senior Bowl 2023 mock draft

    I don't understand this question. No team drafts every position every year. Why center specifically? If you ask because the team is weak at center right now, 1) free agency signings have not occurred yet, so we really have no concrete idea of what the draft day needs will be, 2) drafting a...

    Draft nothing but pass rushers and linebackers

    Why are you giving late first-round picks equal value to early first-round picks? Why are you totaling picks rather than accounting for draft slot value? It is not about the number of picks; the slot within the draft of those picks matters.

    What went wrong with the Seahawks defense in 2022?

    I think you sorted/ranked by something other than PFF grade.

    Draft nothing but pass rushers and linebackers

    They could use an upgrade on the edge. Taylor may have got 9.5 sacks, but of the players getting regular snaps, he was one of the weakest links on the defense. At this point, I think his best role is as a pass rusher on obvious passing downs. Hopefully, Mafe continues to improve and we get...

    Draft nothing but pass rushers and linebackers

    I'm going to go ahead and assume you're using the valley girl definition of literally rather than the dictionary definition. The alternative would be um...beyond strange to see on a football field.

    Senior Bowl Week is here!

    I'm excited to see some of the interior d-linemen from small schools compete against power five offensive lines. I've wondered about Jarrod Clark from Coastal Carolina and Karl Brooks from Bowling Green. Both look great against lower-level competition and have outstanding PFF scores; how do...

    What went wrong with the Seahawks defense in 2022?

    Thanks Jville, another great find. Griffin does a great job of breaking down the defensive struggles. It may be a little bit of confirmation bias on my part since he is echoing what I have been saying, but I think he knows his stuff better than almost any other Hawks analyst. The cliff notes...

    Post your Mock Draft Simulator results here.

    I love this draft, other than the RB at 20. Witherspoon at 9 after a trade-back is my ideal first-pick scenario. Ojoma is being severely underrated. I think he goes much earlier than currently projected, probably somewhere close to where you have him.

    Trenton Simpson or Noah Sewell

    Kelly is a former NFL scout and his analysis holds a lot of weight for me. That said, I watched Sewell twice this year (Cougs and Huskies) and he looked solid in both games. Rather than comparing Sewell to Simpson, I have been comparing Sewell to Campbell and comparing Simpson to the other...

    What draft trade value chart do you use?

    I typically look at the JJ chart by default. It seems likely that teams have moved on from it since it was created prior to the current rookie pay scale. I've read a handful of statistical studies of pick valuation recently. Every one of them comes to the conclusion that teams are overvaluing...

    What draft trade value chart do you use?

    What trade value chart do you think best reflects current GM pick valuations? How are future picks measured versus current-year picks? Is it a flat formula or more nuanced? I assume you go into the draft with a projection of every team's future record to better estimate the value of their...

    Cornerback need?

    Perhaps, but the Rams don't pick until 36. They don't have the ammunition to come up to 5. Using their top few picks plus next year's 1 may not get them there. The Panthers at 9, Texans at 12 (if they go defense with their first pick), and Packers at 15 seem like more likely candidates to target...
