But, it's more that if my opinion doesn't fit the consensus "Seahawks Profile", it doesn't feel worth getting into it. I actually appreciate the digging many put into this and I'm first looking to question my own opinions and learn from others. I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining. Just saying this draft is teaching me something in regards to all this.kf3339":19ibwcql said:TeamoftheCentury":19ibwcql said:This draft is interesting. Jefferson is a guy I started looking at about a month ago. One of several players. But, I liked his solid personal life and immediately thought this could be a guy the Hawks like to scout. I was a bit apprehensive to post about a couple of players b/c there is quite an adherence to SPARQ and other methods that are beloved on this board. I'm not against those, but one risks ridicule for suggesting football players that don't "fit the Seahawks" perceived draft profile. As much as I post on .net, I often hold opinions to myself.
I was also looking at Prosise, Odhiambo and Vannett. I didn't include Jefferson in my mock draft b/c I even though I thought he could be a possible target, more thought he was a late rounder or maybe even UDFA. Probably the only one I thought they'd actually draft is Odhiambo, so not at all saying I knew these would be our picks. Just talking about the players that the Seahawks would even consider. Only so many picks, so it's tough to prove how "right" or "wrong" we are as we evaluate. But, this draft is proving to me that the Hawks do not rely on SPARQ, but certainly use it as an assessment tool.
Why do you care about other posters opinions? You have just as much right to your thoughts as anyone else.
Next year just post your opinions and to hell with anyone who doesn't agree. I do and could care less what others may think.
I understand the issue on this board about "SPARQ" and how many rate that one aspect too highly. But that is more the reason to just give your thoughts, and prove there are other measurements the team will consider just as strongly. I really had no idea about Jefferson, but if his name (possibly from you) had been discussed on this board before the draft it may have allowed me to research and put him in my mock.
I have been praying for a real quality 3tech for several years. This guy could be it! So again please give your thoughts next year. He is a real good find!
