Prediction: Hawks will draft Ewers or Howard

can skattebo pick 50

Is this a joke?

I honestly don't think it's completely out of line. Skattebo will most likely make a better FB (something we need) than a RB in the NFL with some nice traits. Pick 50 is a bit rich but that may be where you have to take him to be honest. It sounds absurd until you look at it big picture depending on what they view him as. Do I want him on the Seahawks? No, but I don't think it's as crazy as it sounds.

I don't think this is a crazy prediction at all. I would love Howard and Ewers has some cool traits as well.

I am saying none, we now have Darnold, Howell and Lock here, someone is leaving I would bet, but no drafted QB's will fit in that room still after one leaves.

Skattebo is probably fifth round or later. I'm not against taking him, but second round is lunacy.

I've kind of seen him all over. I agree with position being a FB and how deep RB is, I don't think he should go before 5th as well but from what I've seen it's entirely plausible.

There's already a Milroe thread, so why not? I can't see us taking Milroe, but I could definitely see us taking Ewers or Howard. I heard that Schneider has spoken glowingly of Ewers in the past. Keep an eye on these two cats in the second round.

Put Ewers or Howard in the same draft with the presence of Darnold, Lock and Howell, who will teams pick?

I think it would have to be. I doubt NFL teams give a crap what Gruden thinks.

I don’t know if you have seen the show, depending on the QB he will be a drill sergeant with the QBs that Gruden thinks can handle it and won’t cry but be soft with others. With Howard he was coaching hard and handled it very well with plays on the grease board practically comparing him to Peyton Manning with Leonard he asked him how he gets the ball from center Leonard just clapped his hands

 

[Hawkinaz]

I am expecting for FB the Hawks will use a very late rd pick or UDFA. A good possibility is an undersized TE or H back type.

I do see FB in Kubiaks system to be a moderate blocker, less of a runner but be a good option in the passing game. Watch 49er game film going back to the 80s to get a good idea what Kubiak will do with a FB

I like Howard in day two. He played his best when it mattered most.

I am saying none, we now have Darnold, Howell and Lock here, someone is leaving I would bet, but no drafted QB's will fit in that room still after one leaves.

We also have Hall and Rhys Plumlee (I know he is recorded as WR but virtuall all his college play was at QB).
I do not think we are planning on drafting a QB but teams try to get into a position where they can draft BPA. I think we will only take the likes of Ewers or Howard if they become steals.
I expect Howell will go either before the draft or shortly after even if we don't draft a QB..

I don’t expect the Seahawks to draft a QB this year.

I echo this sentiment.

Technically, the focus should be on drafting OL primarily this season (but maybe draft a WR or TE like Loveland at #18?) and let the chips fall where they may this season with Darnold (and decide what to do if it all falls apart or if Sam does what I believe strongly he will do here)...

 

[Double Tribble]

I wonder how next year's qb class factors into this draft, if at all.

It won’t at all. Next years class is never a sure thing and GMs don’t operate that way because if you need a QB your team is likely bad and this year may be your last. Now, I do think next years should be better but players fall and “nobodies” May rise. The only way it factors in is teams are less likely to trade next years picks.

Ewers is definitely the most "Seahawky" in terms of sort of coming up and improving and leading a squad not as big of a jump as young RW3 but somewhat similar in starting a rung or two lower and transferring. He jumps off the page in that regard and was my 1st qb that I thought "yeah this is a JS pick", then I started thinking about the wide zone and having a dual threat more like Milroe, that kid is a wildcard, could be a sneaky JS pick. I would be very interested watching either come in the building to watch them grow.

 

[GemCity]

My fellow netizens, JS isn’t taking a QB this year.

Book it. Or, would that be un-book it? Maybe de-book it?

 

[Seahawker]

Not sure what a "JS pick" is, been trying to figure that out for some time now.
It might be wise not to throw that term around this close to draft day, might jinx things. As in, trading down & away from talent and then taking a guy of low need we could have selected a round later.
'Seahawky' must mean short/undersized, smaller school, bit of a project..?

Drew Lock is a textbook smokescreen.

 

[SNDavidson]

Seahawks: Hey Drew, want a million dollars to throw passes m-f and lift weights and study football? Oh btw we love you but you're a smokescreen.

Drew: Yeah
