With their first round pick the Seahawks select….

The Seahawks have traded their first round pick to.....

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Sure does feel like a JS trade down special.

 

[Pickly]

Trade down into the mid 20’s. Flip a second and 3rd they acquire in the trade down for TJ Watt. Pick that safety from South Carolina with the 1st.

And then I woke up…

 

[Rat]

We already have ten picks and Schneider hasn't moved down in the first in six years. We're not drafting high enough, nor is the first round deep enough, where moving down is likely to net us a bevy of day 2 picks.

Feels largely pointless. We only have so many roster spots for rookies.

Guys, guys, guys don't. Now I'm gonna have JS draft day nightmares until the 24th.

 

[James in PA]

If not Zabel, I'd like to see a round 1 trade up for a change. Tyler Warren would be a nice addition!

Donovan Ezeiruaku

 

[SeaWolv]

I put out a mock saying I would trade up for Colston Loveland personally.

However, I think the pick is most likely Donovan Ezeiruaku. There are my reasons why:

1) He plays a premium position. Like Seaside Joe said, the 18th overall pick will make somewhere in the ballpark of $3.1m, $3.8m, $4.5m, $5.4m during their rookie contract.

2) That's a crazy bargain if Ezeiruaku is productive. Even top 30 production.

3) He has the football character.

4) He has the production.

5) He has physical tools.

6) JS has drafted LT, CB, WR, 3T over the last few drafts. I don't think this changes. He drafts premium and valuable positions early on with great character and production.

Not sure I like the sound of some of these points:

Weaknesses​

• Works under the block and loses contain.
• Gets engulfed by size when blockers get into him.
• Size of tackles helps to wear down his rush energy.
• Lacks bull-rush power to collapse tackles into pockets.
• Rush plan needs more time to develop and diversify.
• Average pursuit speed and closing burst.

Rob Staton makes a very compelling argument for the Seahawks trading up in the 1st to around 10ish. We have extra ammunition, and it wouldn't cost a ton. If the Jets are on the clock at 7 and Membou and Warren are still there then they will likely take one of them and we could trade up to 10 just ahead of the 49ers to take the final "blue chip" player in this draft. Panthers and Saints won't take either one so. Would the Bears do it? Maybe. And who knows, the Jets may even go QB at #7 allowing both to fall and not have to move up as much.

 

[SeaWolv]

I'd prefer Zabel but I doubt JS will pull the trigger on him so I expect it will either be a player like Golden or Green as long as the prioritize IOL in the 2nd round.

Jihaad Campbell.

 

[Seahawker]

Staton

Yep, that's why they give away free drinks at the blackjack table, so the house can take your blue chips.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yup. He's a blowhard, couldn't give two piles of crap what he thinks or has to say.

 

[Rat]

Staton is an idiot, but he makes a rare good point. Must be one of those times of day his hands were already on.

There could be tremendous value in a first round trade up this year. We should absolutely be open to it.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Sure, but not because he said something that many don't already know.

 

[Liquid99]

Tetairoa McMillan to replace DK, then go OL with #50 & #52.

It's the #18 pick. The prospect isn't going to be perfect. He needs to probably add a little weight but he's a pass rushing demon.
