    Frustrating John Schneider-y Predictions

    *This is meant to be tongue and cheek, prepare for the worst tone. Don't take it too seriously. 1) Over Drafting Byron Young (TEN) because Seattle has historically liked Senior Bowl attendees with production. I can already hear the Press Conference talking points: "Real leader on a great Tenn...

    Athletic Podcast: Fitterer likes Levis, Trade Up Potential

    In the March 1 Episode of the Athletic Football Podcast, they had a Panther's reporter on and went into draft strategy. Based on what he's hearing, the Panthers have been enamored with Will Levis since last season. His expectation is that Fitterer will look to trade up with Seattle at 5. They...

    Players You Like?

    Trayvon Walker - Fully Expect him to rise firmly into the first round by the combine, but right now he’s a fringe first rounder and sometimes ranked as low as the 50s. He’s a bigger end, but he plays with real power and is athletic for his size. I’d run to the podium for his power at his age...

    Some Thoughts on the Pick

    Being a Seahawks fan is frustrating sometimes... Sometimes all the time... and it's all the time frustrating in the first round. In general, I try to understand the process behind decisions. In Project Management, so long as the good process behind a decision, I'm pretty forgiving of mistakes...

    Any Players You’re Afraid Will Be A Seahawk?

    One of the exercises I’ve been doing to prepare myself for next week has been to do mock drafts that would either not excite me, or would outright frustrate me. So figured I’d ask around and see if there are any players you are adamantly against Seattle drafting but you fear Pete/John might...

    Some Post (Early FA) Draft Thoughts

    Is anyone else confused? Because I’m confused. Let me take a step back. To quote Sigmund Bloom of FootballGuys, Free Agency and the Draft are moments where a team can’t lie anymore. For example, if Pete says over and over again that they like their depth at OL and believe continuity is most...

    Mock Draft: Tackling the Trenches

    Introduction: I think one of the things that I have to be careful about during draft season is falling in love with one prospect. Last year I really wanted Darnell Savage and Parris Campbell and to see Seattle trade back with GB (for a couple 4th round picks) and lose out on Savage was something...

    Mock Draft: Seattle Seahawks

    Introduction: In an effort to capitalize on the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl hype, I’ve looked at a draft that would allow Seattle to restructure into an offensively driven team built to play with a lead in the vein of the Kansas City Chiefs. As a brief disclaimer: No I don’t think this will...

    Making the Case for: Tipa Galea'i, EDGE, Utah State

    In case the gifs don’t work, I’ve included the links beneath them. How do you judge a prospect that is only good at one thing? How do you judge a prospect that is only good at the one thing your team desperately needs? How do you judge: Tipa Galea'i? This was the question that was...

    Mock Draft: Bailing on Britt

    Introduction: Is it just me or has there been a ton of talk about multiple teams being aggressive in FA? More than that I feel like most of them are targeting pass rush. It could be like buying a new car and then suddenly seeing the car you just bought everywhere, but it just feels like there...

    Mock Draft: Desperation on Defense

    Introduction: I think one of the toughest parts about doing as many mock draft simulation games as I do, is that it’s really easy to fall in love with a scenario. The one that has been really sticking with me lately has been getting one of the premiere tackles after a trade down and getting one...

    Mock Draft: Going Offense Heavy

    Been really enjoying getting into draft season, so thought I'd throw out a mock. I'm not trying to predict what the Seahawks will do (Going to leave that to smarter minds). This is more throwing out a scenario for discussion. Quick Note: I think we all fully expect Seattle to trade back this...

    Moves (I think) Pete and John Should Consider

    I'm not an expert and this is all probably seen through rose colored glasses, but I have no Seahawks fans to talk to where I live. #1 - Trade for Yannick Ngakoue https://twitter.com/PFF/status/1156840999592890369 This Seattle team desperately needs speed off the Edge. More specifically...

    Rivers or Wilson?

    Who do I start? Wilson at home or Rivers in Oak?

    Victory by Kneel Downs...

    So... I was in a tight game this week and my opponent had Cutler as their QB... When Geno took over on the last drive I was losing by 0.12 points... When Cutler took the kneel down to win, it sealed my victory... Suffice it to say... this was my reaction...

    Yahoo gave this FF draft a C-, what do you think?

    Personally I'm happy with my draft... First time doing a PPR. I went in with the strategy of getting RB/TE and hopefully picking up WR/QB later. We also do Defensive players. QB: Russell Wilson WR1: Jordy Nelson WR2: Percy Harvin WR3: Golden Tate RB1: Adrian Peterson RB2: Reggie Bush TE...

    Do you have something that makes you "Fail" a Prospect?

    This is just something I'm genuinely curious about. I'm only about 2-3 yrs into studying the draft in any real detail and still refining my "template" for what I look for in a certain position groups. What I'm curious about it whether there is a quality that makes you remove a player from your...

    Bryant, Landry, Latimer, Moncrief or Robinson at 64?

    Who do you take? And why? If you want to throw Coleman and Matthews in there, feel free to do so. But I took a break from watching WR for a couple weeks and went back over the last few days and I wouldn't be surprised if all 5 were available at 64. In spite of all the hype, after I went back...

    Great Podcast on WR Prospects

    http://podcast.footballguys.com/2014/Fo ... Vol30a.mp3 In particular, there is a great discussion about Martavis Bryant at around 1:28:00 where Matt goes into detail about Bryant's past and off the field issues and where he is (mentally) now. It was nice insight on what is going through the...

    Brock Osweiler drawing Interest from Browns, Texans

    http://www.milehighreport.com/2014/3/5/ ... n-osweiler It feels like ancient history but I remember alot of people down at SDB really liking Os, interesting that he's drawing outside interest. Still, unless a team is willing to build an offense around the slant pass, I don't know what his...
