Phil Haynes reunited with his son, Christian Haynes!!! Lol

I'm kind of worried.

I have no idea how in the living hell that man lasted to 81. Makes me think there's some red flag.

Regardless, that's a hell of a pick. Outstanding value.

Excellent pick. Not sure how he lasted this long.

Round 2 talent in Round 3. Gotta like that.

Nice beef in the trenches! Haynes, Zinter or Mahogany...I was cool with any of these.

 

[James in PA]

They say he was the meanest, nastiest O lineman in the draft. Love it.

I need to pay more attention to college football. I didn't even know uconn had a football program. Lol

 

[Jerhawk]

Jerhawk here. I approve of this pick everyone!

There is no doubt, Seattle wants to be dominant in the trenches and is putting thier money there now

They probably prefer people are unaware.

Love how they are fixing the middle this draft. We've been avoiding it for years. Tired of being a finnesse team and getting kicked in the teeth.

Jerhawk here. I approve of this pick everyone!

Shocking! Are you suddenly ill?

Jerhawk here. I approve of this pick everyone!

Thank God..I was stressing there whether you did or not

 

[Maelstrom787]

Haynes is the type of guard that'll really, really piss off opposing defensive linemen. He's an absolute bastard.

He's kind of a better Bradford. Play strength stands out. Can sometimes get beat in pass pro when he lunges.

Has been right side only. Might be a year 1 redshirt behind Tomlinson if we want him on the left. Could also just steal Bradford's spot and force him into competition at both guard spots.

The Beast (Athletic's Draft Bible by Dane Brugler) has him at #47 overall.

Great pick!!... especially at #81 overall.

No complaints here. Filling huge needs with real talent.

I liked everything they said about him until they said he struggled against power rushers when they played better teams like Tennessee. Definite need, but Zinter may have been a better choice. Hopefully coaching and the weight room can resolve it.

I'm super stoked about this pick

Zinter here would've been pretty disappointing to me, especially given injury concerns. Haynes feels better in both caliber and profile.
