Pretty bleh.

I'm fine with Dickson. Plus, Hunter is projected to go anywhere from Round 2 to Round 3. Too deep of a draft to select a #2 TE in the 1st Round.

I'm more than okay with Lawson in the 2nd but isn't he valued more than Dodd? Every mock draft several months ago had him pegged as a Top 20 pick? What happened? Combine?

Didn't Dickson get graded the worst TE in the league last year or something? How the hell are you fine with Dickson?

Also think about with a DT in the 1st that means you have him locked in for 5 years. Sign Short to a 4 year deal at age 27 or 28 and ends when he's 31 or 32, just in time for the 1st rounders contract when Shorts ends.

 

And the other half of that is; Grab a top DT this year in case we lose Short in 2 years. Short just may out price us by the time it comes to resign him. He may want up to 4mil more than we can offer. We offer 9-10, but he wants top DT money of 14. We draft his replacement this year, we are still in the running.

Because Dickson played 'okay' on tape. Yeah, he dropped a few passes but he also made a couple big ones too. I'll take it over wasting a first round pick on a guy who could be there when we pick again.

Upon reading about Lawson, we may not take him after all. Apparently he's been playing with a 'separated' shoulder since 2013 and needs to play with a brace that limits his arm range and motion.

 

We could get a TE in the 2nd or 3rd and still upgrade Dickson, and help out the Offense as well. I don't see a TE in the 1st as a good pick. I really am hoping we go D-line in the 1st.

 

Also, we do have Simonson waiting in the wings. Although I ain't sure how RR and Co. actually feel about him?

 

If that is true about Lawson? Why has it not been taken care of by now? I mean, Clemson is big time. They could have taken care of it last year. Just makes me wonder what the deal is? How do you rate a player who plays with a brace? Where are you comfortable drafting him? And do you think he can play as a rookie, then address it next off-season? Lots of question for a 1st rounder.

How many early round TE's have panned out in the past few years. I can't think of many. I can recall a number of TE busts (at least relative to value).

To the guy who wants to upgrade RT, I'm with you. At this point, the biggest needs are RT and nickle corner.

The shoulder speration or dislocation worries me somewhat. I dislocated mine 10 years ago and there are times when my shoulder takes a jarring impact and I immediately lose some feeling in my hand and my arm drops. Sometimes those injuries just don't heal properly.

Am I missing something with Lawson cause ya'll are talking crazy? 

I'm a tiger fan and watched every second he's played in college.  He's going to be a top 15 pick, maybe top 10.  That medical check was requested from one team.  All other teams cleared him.  His shoulder is fine.  In a way I hope it was the Panthers that flagged it to play some head games.  Anything can happen and I am by no means an expert but I would be shocked to see Shaq not drafted in the first round.  It's just not going to happen. I don't even see any way he'd fall all the way to us in the 1st round. 

I would love to have him.  I've been telling a buddy all along that he plays and reminds me a ton of Charles Johnson but Shaq might have more quickness.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
