I expected to see Young's name instead of Williams. I've heard good things about the former before and during camp, and nothing about Williams. He didn't exactly impress last season either. Oh well, I don't pretend to know more about the players than the coaching staff, so I'll trust that they put the best guys on the 53.

Every fuggin game Teddy finds a way to get some obscure special teams penalty. Yea, he may be fast, but he is obviously an idiot. He had 8 penalties last year and only plays a handful of special teams plays per game!

Um, for the record, Teddy Williams was one of our best coverage ST guys last year.  He's always the first guy down the field and it would be a huge loss for our coverage unit if he wasn't out there.  Barring injury, he's basically a lock to make this team.

I wanted to see Young make it too. I remember reading that he was doing a bunch of extra work in the off season to make himself better, and as good as Teddy Williams was on ST's, he did get a lot of dumb penalties last year. I'll trust the coaching staff though, because they see these guys every single day on and off the field.

11 tackles...... 8 penalties.

 

He had the fourth most penalties on the team and wasn't a full-time starter.

Damn, and we still went 15-1.  Special Teams guys are very, very, important.  But, I guess he's more important than keeping a guy that probably won't get any PT over 3 rookies.

This is so encouraging. I'm still expecting the rooks to make mistakes, even mistakes that may cost us a game or two. But the corner position may go from question mark to strength in the space of this season!

Gettlemagic baby!

@Jeremy Igo, re: Lou Young... like everyone else in this thread, I am curious where he stands in all this. Does he have a chance to unseat Williams?

ST is one of the easiest phases to draw penalties but that's pretty damn bad. I think we need guys like Jones and Williams but you wish he could do something at CB. Colin showed his limits but he was out of position so it's not totally on him.

I could be ok with stashing Young and keeping McClain.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
