Have to have given up a pick next year, right?

 

[McGruff]

Okay, back to the drawing board.

Can rush the passer and is a Big Ten guy. Those make it ok in my book!

Gave up a 4th next year and swapped 7th this year is what I heard

6.5 sacks last year. Not bad for an interior guy.

We must have wanted this kid to make the deal with Billy.

Im cool with the trade ups. Only so many spots on the roster.

I don't necessarily like giving up a 4th next year, but I really do like moving up without costing any additional picks this year. It's like buying with credit, and if Quinton Jefferson helps us this year, it will be worth it.

Base and nickle DT now covered.

WIth Jack Allen,C and Shawn Oakman, DE still available, I thought they were trading up to grab one of them. I think Jefferson could have been there at their comp pick.

Wow, he has a nice swim move and plays violent, I like him already. Looks like a poor man's Bennett which is fine in my book.

 

[McGruff]

Good penetrator with a vicious swim and rip move. 3tech with some ability to play the 5tech too.

WIth Jack Allen,C and Shawn Oakman, DE still available, I thought they were trading up to grab one of them. I think Jefferson could have been there at their comp pick (original pick). Just a meh pick, IMO. Nothing worth trading up for.

There's no way Oakman gets drafted.

225 and 4th next season(should be around 125) for 147 and 243. That's really not a bad deal for Seattle.

 

[Smelly McUgly]

Since we'll have at least one fourth-round comp next year, I'm cool with giving up a future fourth. I think that you can get away with trading future mid-round picks if you're a team that has collected a number of comp picks to make up for it.

He just started his conference call with, "Let me tell you what 'Like a Virgin' is about..."

Weird.

And for good reason. If he's exonerated, he can sign somewhere, but right now he can't be touched.
