You can only keep one (poll)

[pmedic920]

Money isn’t infinite, good players cost $

If you can only keep one?

Might be a way to keep both.
I suspect these are the two “bubble” guys.

Feel free to discuss

It may take a 3yr 45 million dollar deal to keep Rashid, though.

Seahawks seem to always find some sort of combination of running backs to make things work. But Rasheed is unique and can be a game-changer. Watching the Rams give up so many yards just to avoid kicking to him said a lot about the fear he generates.

If I had to choose one, I'd go with K9. He's been an integral part of the team since he was drafted. Shaheed is a talent but there are more WRs that can potenially add what Shaheed does avaialbe. His role isn't irreplaceable either.

Rumors floating around that suggest you may be very accurate.

So RS @ 15 or KW @ 12-13

Im leaning heavily towards RS

Well, they can’t keep Walker

Ask the Rams how important special teams are.

And then ask yourself, can you replace Ken Walker, and maybe go RB by committee and have success?

Can you replace Shaheed and have the same special teams impact with another returner?

I think you are likely to go RB by committee anyways and have success than attempting to replace a game changer in Shaheed and having the same success with a cheaper alternative.

Shaheed is also a team player with incredible football IQ. I love K9 but I think Shaheed makes so much of a difference that you can replace K9 with young RB and you may not replace Shaheed that easily.

Seattle was not great on special teams until Shaheed was on the team.

Special teams for Seattle changed the landscape of the team completely when Shaheed became the returner.

When Seattle traded for Shaheed, Seattle, became legit champion contenders because the special teams became elite.

Shaheed is a very good player and the ideal situation is to keep him and K9. However, the Seahawks had a good to great ST all season. Shaheed was a replacement for Tory Horton who also had a kickoff return for TD. So to say the Seahawks were bad on ST before Shaheed is stretching it a bit. Shaheed did make them better, no doubt.

 

[Dallashawksfan]

Why?

Cost too much

Pretty much decided

 

[projectorfreak]

Man drafting at 32 sucks
I just have to remind myself that k9 was a rookie once and so was everyone else
Amazing how good demonwori is for a rook
Kids going to be special

I said Seattle was not great, I didn’t say Seattle was bad.

But, Seattle’s special teams became tops in the NFL because of Shaheed. It was not before.

To be fair, Shaheed's addition did not affect the FG segment of our ST... nor the K/O coverage segment... nor the Punt Coverage segment. They were all real solid.

Apologies for stating you said "bad" instead of "not great". My point is they were better than "not great" before Shaheed. They were good as Tory Horton had a kickoff return for td too and averaged 12.4 yards per punt return. Which was not too shabby at all.

No way man. Drafting at 32 ROCKS. It means they just won the SB. Nothing about that sucks

 

[sutz]

I picked K9 because he will get more playing time that Shaheed.

On special teams, I'd also argue that the guys getting the blocks without drawing flags have a lot to do with Shaheed's success as well. He was running through some pretty wide holes much of the time.

So my friend would you rather the Seahawks had NOT won the Super Bowl?

I'll take 32 every time if it means my team has once again won the SB. There is a price for success and that price is players want to get paid and and you don't pick as early as you would if you didn't win out. I'm OK with paying that price.

 

[AROS]

Shaheed for me all the way. You can find another K9-type RB but there's not another Shaheed out there.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Please draft #32 every single year going forward.
