ACL repair surgery has advanced so significantly the healing times are getting significantly shortened.
I suspect Charbs won't be back to full speed until almost the end of the season despite what anyone says as this is significant injury.
The Hawks traded pick 96 to Pitt. for picks 99 and 216 and at pick 99 they selected CB- Julian Neal, Arkansas.
Long armed boundary CB who is good in coverage, physical and a solid run defender, but still raw.

At pick 64 the Hawks picked FS- Bud Clark, TCU.
This player is a ballhawk.

Julian Neal is a good CB, cool your negativity haters. That said it wasn’t a great trade in terms of value rec’d, picks 99 and 216.
I don’t think Dunker is well known as a zone blocker, nice mullet though.
I suspect not trading back was not what they desired, but situationally b/c of the numerous other trade ups ahead of 32 made not realistic valuewise. This then resulted in the team just picking the player they had at highest value a position of need.
Anyone wondering about this pick needs to go the www.seahawksdraftblog.com and watch Rob Statton’s instant reaction which is lengthy but worth watching. Truly puts the pick in an understandable perspective. Disagree or not.
Dawg:
The pick by the Rams of Simpson ended the trade back with teams wanting the 5th year option for him by AZ or others. There were numerous other trade backs from picks #25 to 31 that also didn’t help at all and likely priced Seattle out of the trade market by offering earlier picks in the...
Am a bit surprised by this pick though many predicted it. Clearly though the team had faced an inability to trade back and picked the player they like best at a position of need. I thought the team would likely pick a DB, but that large group has with just one exception fallen so there will be...
As the draft bears down upon the team will JS trade away a few of the depth players?
Oluwatimi is a starting level C who has underachieved here and may be worth a late round pick in trade. He is not going to beat out Sundell and there may be potentially better G/C candidates available day 3 for...
LOL, still doesn’t stop us checking, then checking again does it?
This is an unfortunate result of having a good team and fewer draft picks this year. While somewhat boring the stability is some evidence the management thinks they’ve got a pretty strong roster..
Am indeed curious about the...
How could it hurt if the team added an experienced edge rusher of proven ability?
I don’t care if he’s older, don’t care if he has an injury history. This player could just be that experienced ability added to the pile which is already pretty deep and be yet another mentor with ability to an...
Far too long as a team, and far too many guys to choose from for a top ten for the whole time of the team's existence.
There could be a more easily eras of the team selection format, though each of the guys that are HOF players deserve clearly to be top ten. Another way of ranking them could be...
Absolutely correct. The player played half the season on and off the active roster and was part of the reason why the team was successful last season. He was poached and is now back. He deserves a ring as part of the championship team.
Good for the team!!!
Exactly!
The mystery here is somewhat frustrating as his ‘recovery’ seems to linger on.
As many have said “the best ability is availability”.
At present Horton is missing/has missed a lot of time and that missed time will slow his development.
I’m rather sure it’s hyperbole to say he’s the...
I am unclear on just what the injury was to Tory Horton. I've read it was an ankle injury, then it was his shin then after that it appears to be a mystery. Does anyone know what the actual injury was because it seems really slow to heal? Most of us seem to be guessing.
Horton had an injury...
