    McIntosh to IR

    I feel sorry for the kid, but this feels like the right call. I still have high hopes for him, but he's a rookie who basically missed training camp, in a RB room that's looking pretty solid. Even if healthy today, I don't think he he's active on game day. Putting him on IR is a way to keep...

    Surprise Cuts? And all other roster cuts!

    I don't have any frame of reference for this but it sure seems crazy. 13 rookies by my count. Honestly, I'm not even sure what that means. Normally, a team so young would be building for the future. But this team sure feels like we're ready compete now.

    Levi Bell or Nick Bellore?

    Bell played really well the first two weeks - even though he was playing against backups, I thought he was on track to playing his way on the roster. But, I didn't see him flash in the GB game - other than the learning that he is currently an awful FB :). He's one of the three or four really...

    Surprise Cuts? And all other roster cuts!

    A 7th round RB who hasn't improved his stock since draft day is typically a pretty safe stash. Yet I do agree with you - I really like the kid and hope we keep him on the active roster, just to be safe.

    Surprise Cuts? And all other roster cuts!

    I agree @Chukarhawk I want to like Dallas (hard worker, durable, experienced, few mistakes, some ST contributions) but he's simply not a good back in this league. I'm confident that we could find an unsigned FA who could produce similar performance if needed. If I were a betting man, Dallas...

    Who played today on our OL and front 7?

    I also don't think many of the D front 7 starers played today. Bush played a ton, but he may be only starter on day 1 from the front 7 to play today. Mike Jackson played a ton at CB. His future with the team is as unclear as anyone; I could see Jackson starting week 1, being an active backup...

    What if Geno regresses?

    Interesting topic. A few ways to think about this: Will Geno regress this year? Maybe, but probably not a ton. How bad will it be if he regresses a bit? We're a run first team and a fairly talented offensive team. We shouldn't be asking a ton from our QB, and shouldn't be winning/losing...

    If Richardson were available at 5, would the Hawks have selected him?

    My read is that they would have taken Richardson at 5 if available. I think the top of their board, in order, was: Anderson Richardson Witherspoon <a ton of other guys> Levis I think I read that there were 20 players who the Hawks graded as a 1st round talent. Only 5 were left at pick 1...

    Pick 151: Mike Morris DE Michigan

    I've had a chance to watch some film on him, and here's my take: On film, he's big, long, and athletic. He was a power-based DL who did a great job collapsing the pocket. What surprised me is how much he played from a 2 point stance and even played a bit in space - and how not-awful he looked...

    What I got right/wrong with our draft

    What I got right: Stroud would go #2. One of the top two CBs would fall deep into the teens. Levis would be the 4th QB taken. The TE run wouldn't start until late round 1. Kancey would be gone by 20. Texans would trade back up from 12 - though I never thought they would be dumb enough to go all...

    Personal Draft grades

    I've only gone through a couple of his games, so take this with a gain of salt. But so far, I don't see much to love. To me, every single good RB has a style. Some are quick, some fast, some strong, some technical, some excellent blockers, soft hands, routes, shifty, etc. etc. etc. They need...

    Personal Draft grades

    I'll need to watch more film, settle my emotions, and get some sleep, but my initial grade is a B. I'm convinced round 1 didn't go as planned. I think Witherspoon was our 6th option, including 5 players and trading back. You can't fault them for the board falling poorly, and they got a legit...

    Seahawks going back to a 4-3?

    Agreed - Carter's most natural fit is probably as a 4-3 DT. With that said, I don't have any issues seeing where he fits in a 3-4. I think you can play him all 3 downs up-and-down the line without modifying scheme.

    The Maelstrom Mock 2023 (With Thanks to Russell Wilson edition)

    Good read and I'd be happy with this draft. Thanks for the mock. 20 is an interesting spot. I expect for there to be great value at edge at 20 with someone like Murphy or N. Smith being there. I also expect one of the top tier players to fall close to 20 (my personal prediction is one of the...

    Common Sense.

    Stats are just a quick reference for what really matters. I don't care what your completion % is; I care about the % of accurate balls you throw. I don't care how many wins you have; I care about how you can manage the game in a two minute offense. I don't care about how many TDs you have; I...

    Pre-Grading Pick #5

    Assuming we stay at 5, there are only so many guys who are on our radar. So, I thought I'd take a swing at what I would grade each of the viable picks. Young or Stroud: A++. Both are great QB prospects and amazing value at 5. If either are still available at 5 (e.g. taking Richardson if Stroud...

    When Stroud falls to Seattle

    I'm blow away by this thread. If Stroud is there at 5, I take him. I take him over any defensive player in the draft. Hell, I take him over any offensive player in this draft. Why? Because in my book, he is one of the best QB prospects in the last several years, and the financial benefit of...

    The Athletic's Mock Draft for SEA, 4/24/2023

    That's nearly my ideal draft. Clear pass rusher. Clear NT. Prioritizing OL over skill positions. Not going CB or WR until a bit later. Getting a future 1st, from a team that may struggle next year. I'd be giddy with this.

    My final mock

    I'd party. I'm not sure that some of these guys will be there at these spots, but if the board fell to us like this, I'd be downright giddy.

    Pre-Grading Pick #20

    Thanks :) These are largely philosophy based, meaning my lens is likely just unique. But here are my thoughts: Value is a key driver of grades for me, and I don't see the value for Michael Schmitz at 20. It's rare that he is mocked in the 1st round. I'd love to have him on the team, but if...
