Seahawks Trade for NO WR Rashid Shaheed

[Seattle Person]

Horton is a better route runner and overall more complete player with a high ceiling. If Shaheen can hit some home runs deep, that’s great. I hope the first will be Sunday to beat the Rams.

I think people aren't that familiar with Shaheed. Love Horton but people are going to realize how complete a WR Shaheed is once he gets going.

If you need less words from me, how about this, in our current offense and scheme:

Shaheed > Odunze

You probably wouldn’t be that mad at the Seahawks if they gave up lets say a 2 and 3 for RO but you’d be plenty mad at the Bears for only getting back a 2 and 3.

Odunze is a grown man. You clearly didn't watch him in college.

Apparently Pittsburgh offered the Saints the same compensation (4th and 5th round picks) to acquire Rashid. He wanted to come to Seattle so the Saints accepted Seattle's offer.

This surprises me somewhat; obviously those draft picks value is dependent on how well Pittsburgh / Seattle end the season in the rankings...perhaps Saints feel its a coin toss which picks would be the higher picks in the draft (I'd be hopeful its Pittsburgh's picks though)

Looks like we were eyeing him for a bit…before our injury list.

That makes me moister.

Good Lord. If Shaheed's arrival alone didn't have me rooting for him, the fact that he chose us over the STEELERS has me ALL pumped and jacked. 1,000 yards!

If you knew for certain half way through the season that 1 team would be picking 10 spots higher than another team then it might make a small difference. In Draft chart points it would be about 11 points in round 4 and 5 points in round 5. 16 Draft chart points isn't a lot on Draft day and half way through the preceding season the picks are logically worth 85-90% of their Draft day value. Even if the Saints were knowingly taking a lower offer they would be showing current and future prospective players that they'll value them as human beings rather than as trade chips or pieces of meat.

I never wanted Odunze in the first place. I wanted Jared Verse. This was just another poor draft pick by Poles. Shaheed is a little faster, so better on fly route. Odunze drops too many catchable passes. If we had a great GM I’d take a 2 and 3 for him, but not Poles. All his third round picks have been busts.

I didnt want MVS. I hope this player catches everything. What was MVS like 55%?

Lucky for you Shaheed has a drop rate of less than 2%.

He's the Anti-MVS.

I don’t smoke. We don’t need this guy. He has 12 TDs in 4 years. Troy Horton already has 5. He’s going to be a lot better than Shaheed. Saints got two picks for him.

Jeebus! Bear, Horton is HURT, and Shaheed brings something that Tory simply does NOT YET HAVE, K?

Horlton was full practice on Wednesday but apparently got a shin injury in practice. I stand by the rest of my post, and wish Shaheed catches a long TD pass today.
