Seahawks 2022 Draft Day 1 Thread

Color me shocked. I wouldn't have expected them to take Cross, that was a complete surprise...I 100% expected them to trade down.

Still dont get this narrative There was no way they were ever going to trade down.. even the announcers are a little daft on that thinking

They probably would have if Cross was off the board, if we're being honest. Their interest in Cross wasn't fully predictable as he's outside of their usual prototype.

That was underwhelming. Hopefully we get back into the first later for Howell or Ridder.

Wow..I hope not

Because, at pick #9, with so many defensive players off the board, I wouldn't have expected them to stay put. I just didn't see it. Maybe JS is having more say in picks, or maybe PC is being more open-minded?

Cross only allowed 1 sack last year. Damn, I like the sound of that! Welcome to the Hawks!

Best left tackle in the draft bar none

Is it just me, or are the Jets drafting rationally this year?

I have questions about Cross. He's got middling athleticism and middling length, and a questionable background as an air raid tackle.

He's in the top 10 for a reason, and that's because he can do this shit right here.

Yeah, he doesn't have top-10 elite LT attributes, but I like him better than all the other LT in the draft. I think he will be a solid LT.

I'd agree. His mirroring is pretty astounding, even with his lack of athletic upside. Solid. Solid all-around.

Agreed. 2 great picks

First trade of the 1st round, Saints moved up to #11. I wonder what it cost them

 

[Maelstrom787]

Wilson is the best receiver in the draft. His body control defies what should be possible.

 

[GemCity]

All linemen plus a cowbell back and I’d be happy as heck.

 

[Fade]

He'll be a great Guard one day.

Interesting viewpoint. Maybe a center later, but I hope they go all defense with a late running back from here on, tbh.

Although I'd be over the moon if they got Danny Gray later.

Could live with that as well. Wondering if they will go high on a DT.

Lions with a trade, picking at #12 according to
