I just dont think any of these QBs will work with the seahawks roster and that the roster will be in a better place next year and they should get a QB that works with the roster then. 2nd round doesnt matter much to me

You’re going to be competing with 10 other teams who all decided to wait for next year when there are currently two decent prospects (young and stroud) and then a bunch of guys who have just as many question marks as the current crop. I don’t think the Seahawks are top 5 pick bad so you’re likely in the same boat all over again.

I am beaming with joy that Seattle got Cross. He’s so good, and young, with plenty of upside yet and he’s already an elite pass protector.

Seattle should not take a qb with either of their seconds. Or any picks in this draft.

I agree. Which means it won’t happen.

I still want Minshew on the roster though so my credibility is poo poo.

My predictions on who they actually take: Ridder and Ekibete. I bet they think Ridder with his height and established ability to go through progressions is plug and play Goff-style into Waldron's pseudo-Rams offense. The gamble is on fixing accuracy (which almost never happens!)

EDGE and a running back. Oh well, 2 good picks out of 3 aren’t bad.

Wait, no, not an edge. God drat it, what the hell.

I'll assume that means that Carson's neck is absolutely hosed and he's done. Bummer! Penny also can't stay healthy so the Hawks definitely need some RB help, would have rather they'd picked one in the 5th or something.

Boye Mafe is definitely an EDGE.

Kenneth Walker is...sigh. The Seahawks are always, always on brand. He's supposed to be really good at least?

And, neither Penny nor Carson are on contract past this season. But I'd rather they take a drat good center to set up the run.

The second tier of qbs in next years draft is pretty big, like 5 guys. It’s likely that at least a couple of them will cement themselves as good QB prospects. And the worst of that second tier next year will still be better than all the qbs this year. It’s widely acknowledged that next year is likely a strong QB class.

Seattle will be bad and will have two first round picks to facilitate any needed trade up.

Although I acknowledge that a trade up might be pricier than expected because Seattle’s second first round pick will be the 32nd overall because Wilson is gonna win the Super Bowl :)

People keep saying this but then it’s always Young and Stroud as obvious ones and then you have like Spencer Rattler and DJ Uigaleile as the next tier and they both loving sucked last year. Beyond that it’s random guys with “prototypical size” like Phil Jurkovec whose only real redeeming quality is that he’s large and white. If you want to draft the next Daniel Jones or Mitch Trubisky you’ll probably have your chance but outside of the top two, who also have questions marks, it looks like a bunch of guys that if you squint you can see how maybe they might not suck.

I still don't like taking a RB in the 2nd, but using it on a Doak Walker winner when your top RB might never play another snap is somewhat more understandable.

B+ draft for the Hawks, all three other picks have been stellar. Now they'll take a bunch of CBs and see if Pete/Desai can make any of them work.

Good on Pete for pooping on these poopy qbs.

Also if taking a RB is the price to satisfy Pete so that we could build the trenches, then a-okay.

Bryant, Woolen. The lower you go, the more lotto-ticketish these players are, but those are two very nice looking lotto tickets.

RB pick notwithstanding (and even that is understandable if not optimal), drat fine draft for the Hawks.

Agreed, my friend. Suspiciously good looking draft from the Seahawks. If they hit on a qb next year and actually spend FA monies on good players instead of a bunch of bad players, wild card doesn’t seem out of the question in 2023!

Given how well the late picks have gone, I'm starting to come around on the RB pick. Alone it was too early, but as a complete draft package they have ended up with 2 promising DBs, a promising EDGE, good tackles, and possibly the best RB. No weird trades or untested players, just filling needs.

All I can think is that they tried for six years or so to patch holes and extend their window with Russ anyway they could, and paired with a lot of bad and reactive drafting.

Everyone points to Scott Mcloughan as the difference maker for the 2010-2012 drafts, but maybe Schneider is just better at building up a bad roster than maintaining a good one. If basically the whole team's bad and you have no players necessitating a particular style of play, you draft the best player available. That seems to be basically what they did.

The team also viewed picks more as trade assets than actual talent. Hell, Wilson might have viewed the weak OL as a challenge for him and pushed for improvement elsewhere thinking he could overcome it.

I mean, we still haven’t actually seen any of these guys play so who knows how they work out. You can’t grade a draft before anyone sees the field.

That makes no sense though because a lot of past drafts were poopy because they didn’t address holes. This good draft is them addressing their biggest holes with premium picks.

And a RB lol but whatever Walker looks neat.

Until we are shown otherwise, Scot M is the simplest and most compelling reason that the first drafts were great and basically every draft after he left sucked.

That’s true but it’s tight seeing the hawks invest picks in positions of need, with acknowledged good prospects, in appropriate rounds.

We avoided dumb poo poo like the hawks were going to trade back to the late teens and then take like a third around LB or some poo poo.
