I'd be happy with the players he mentioned for us at #32, except for (OLB/DE) TJ Parker. Parker is on my don't want list.

What don't you like about Parker?

What don't you like about Parker?

For me he isn't a 1st round prospect. He doesn't have any elite qualities as a prospect. He has above average quickness, good long arm, and good bull rush. He doesn't have or doesn't use counter moves, his bend isn't great, his motor isn't impressive, I question does he love ball. And for that last reason I don't think he is a fit for the Seahawks.

I'll agree but very rarely at 32 are there any 1st round prospects left. Most drafts don't even have 16, let alone 32 1st round prospects.

I know.

I should have said it another way...
I wouldn't draft parker in the 1st round, there are at least 50 other prospects I like better than Parker. So I would draft 50 other prospects, probably more, before Parker.

There will be a 1st round level RG still left at #32. It's a position of need, immediate starter and high level of performance. Any other position selection and the Seahawks are not getting the most bang for thier draft buck

Agree. If our top OL prospect is not available in R1 - we trade back. Arizona or someone is going to want to potentially move up for a QB like Simpson to get the year 5 option and get ahead of the start of R2… would they even consider trading in division and getting fleeced?

Hard to argue that.

I thought Bradford improved toward the end of last season, lessening the urgency for drafting that position in the first round.
We lost Walker. Given the emphasis we place on the running game for our most highly desired game plan, if Price is available (which I do not believe he will be) I would grab him at 32.

Dayum. Nicely done, JS. Nicely done.

Is it hard to improve from, standing around doing nothing, or just falling flat on his face
