Seahawks Draft Day Rd2 and Rd3 Thread

[QWERTY]

Fair enough.

How would you say he managed to rack up over 1600 rushing yards and 18 TDs last season in a power 5 conference with some awfully good defenses?

I would say that all depends on CFB and not NFL. Our OL is not top 10 for run blocking.

 

[JPatera76]

Maybe he worries that he isn’t a bruiser back like Carson. I think Walker will be successful but he will need to learn to catch better.

the only briusing being done by carson is to himself really.

 

[CPHawk]

Do we think it's because we heard that Jody is sitting in the draft room?

Heard she got so excited about the draft, she started slapping all the guys asses. Or that could just be what she does?

 

[JPatera76]

i dont get how you call a guya bust when he had alone 1000 yard after contact... AFTER CONTACT. That is really damn good.

I think it's more about people immediately not liking someone if they preferred someone else.

Yeah don't really like wasting high draft picks on RB's. When you can get some in the 7th round or after the draft.

Fair enough; there's both sides to the coin here, as there are many reasons to like the pick as well.

Wasting? We got quite possibly the best RB in the draft, if not the 2nd best (it's pretty close). Our RB room doesn't look that great considering we only have Penny for 1 year and Carson is a big question mark...

 

[chrispy]

So...Walker had the most broken tackles last year and 1 fumble...??? Is that right? If true, sounds ok to me. Hard to project 100% accurate, but that seems like a pretty good place to start....

 

[Maelstrom787]

A lot of the same types that claim running backs of average prowess are available late in the draft or cheaply in FA also claim that center is a large need to be drafted highly, when it similarly does not analytically equate to wins in a large fashion.

I live in Wisconsin and I saw Walker play Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa on TV. He is a great back. I like the pick, but would have preferred a CB (Booth) Or another OL.

Surprised that Dean from Georgia has slipped this far

Was just about to say the exact same.

 

[Chawker]

C. Tindall LB at 72

 

[JayhawkMike]

Maybe Travis Jones will still be on the board next pick? I realize nose tackle isn’t exciting but that is who I would like.

 

[Cyrus12]

Patriots are killing it

 

[JayhawkMike]

Btw while I haven’t been one to push QB too much I would not fault them with taking one with our 4th pick

 

[Cyrus12]

Getting to that point where I dont know who is good...obviously the qb draft was a joke this year. Glad they didn't listen to desperate fans trying to get that fill in for the ego that left town.

A lot lower risk for sure.
