Seahawks trade for Terrelle Pryor

[Ziggyy108]

Ha shiit it would be so cool if Pete could actually turn him into a weapon at WR/TE

 

[HawkRiderFan]

Last year the arms race in the NFC West involved talented players like Harvin and Boldin. This year, the race appears to be to acquire mediocre QBs.

 

[TwistedHusky]

Isn't he something like 6ft 6 and 235 running a 4.35?

That is Mike Evans' body type +, if he can catch the ball. I would love to see if we could get him to do WR instead of QB.

The question is whether he would take a position change. We could also use him to run the scout team in prep for Kap (who ran all over us in the NFCCG).

Either way, there is enough there there in order to take a chance so I am good with it.

 

[HawkWow]

Pryor should be arrested for impersonating an NFL QB. If you need a throw...he's not your guy. But if you need a camp guy that can emulate Kaep (and Newton) he can be that guy.

Getting him with the last pick in the draft is awesome, IMO. I don't think we will be grooming him, I don't think we will see him at WR (or TE!) and I don't think we will ever see him on the field, but I do think he will help our D.

Pryor will light it up in camp and we'll hopefully use that as bait for players/picks.

I wasn't a huge fan of him coming out of college, but for a 7th rd pick he's a great low risk, high reward move.

A few thoughts to address some of the points brought up in this thread. Not saying I'm right but here goes:

1. He's a quarterback first. You draft projects like Pyror and change their position cause you get four years to mold that player. On a one year contract, there's too much of a process imo to change position and expect him to beat out anyone at tightend or WR. Maybe he'll play QB/WR but I'd say he's a QB above all else.

2. Tjack's salary does not guarantee him a roster spot. They showed with Flynn and the Whitehurst deal, adding talent at the quarterback position comes with a price of doing business. If Pryor beats him out (small chance imo), they will cut Jackson if they only want two QBs.

3. They kept BJ Daniels for a number of weeks on the roster as a #3 last year. Though they mostly have kept two QBs, it's not unprecedented to keep three.

4. If Pryor plays well as a #3, I could see him offered a small fair 2 year contract to continue his development as Wilson's backup. If Pryor is smart he'll see the benefits of a system that can showcase his talents for when he hits free agency.

5. Giving up the last 7th rd pick costs little in opportunity costs imo. Seattle has done very well attracting UDFA because Carroll has a reputation for competition and letting the best man win. That's more than other coaches will do. Additionally, Seattle can on purpose finish the draft weak at a certain position knowing that will attract UDFAs. They did this last year at the linebacker position and sign a few good players because of it.

6. Pryor's upside is higher than any QB available after the first 5 rounds. This is a good example of comparing him against what QBs would have been around in the later rounds and getting the superior player.

Weirdest thing, at 6:00 am I get up and start up my franchise in Madden. I'm short a few QBs so I resign TJack and...wait for it...

Pryor.

It shall be.

:shock:

Alright, you've pretty much convinced me . . . I think it's a good deal. Especially since they have a chance to sign whomever they would have taken in the 7th Round as an undrafted free agent.

Pryor will make about the same as Michael Robinson would have made had he been re-signed for the one-year veteran minimum.

I owned so hard in madden with terelle pryor on the raiders, cant wait to swap Wilson out for Pryor in the next game.

 

[ChrisB Bacon]

For short yardage/goalline sets: Pryor in the gun, Beast to his right, and Percy in the slot to the left. Percy comes in motion to the backfield as Pryor snaps and runs read option with Beast. Pryor either hands off or keeps and now he's got an option to pitch to Harvin or cut it up and into the endzone.

No no no, you got it all wrong.

It makes too much sense.

 

[uncle fester]

I foresee some sort of truly evil end-around-flea-flicker being added to the playbook for 2014...

 

[BAJAHAWK]

Ever thought that with the Kaep extension and possible legal issues that the Whinners really wanted Prior for a backup that is the closes thing to Kaep and give them leverage? To keep him out of their hands forces them to spend the money that Kaep wants and that will effect their salary cap. I personally think he will be converted to WR.

 

[TwilightError]

I was kinda looking forward to havin Mr. Irrelevant on the roster.. Oh well, Pryor will be fun to watch in the preseason as well.

I doubt it. I'd prefer that our FO worry about our team and let SF do whatever they like. Then again, maybe this is just us countering that block buster move by SF, acquiring Johnathan Martin this off-season.

 

[Happy]

Js is relentless when it comes to improving the roster, he just never sleeps. I think it's awesome that he's still doing that.

We weren't gonna have Mr. Irrelevant, Compensatory Picks kept us from that.

 

[Pick6]

Well if Bevell for some reason uses a QB to run in goal line/redzone situations instead of Lynch, Pryor would be a better option than Wilson.

9ers have a couple of 7th rounders. If they really wanted him, they trumped the Seahawks end of the trade-able 7th round picks by a mile. They were interested, just not that interested.

John Schneider's statement on the trade: “Terrelle is an incredibly explosive athlete, and we’re excited for him to come in and compete."
