VIDEO: Seahawks 2016 NFL Draft: Trent Kirchner Interview

ANALYSIS: The candidate with the most measurable success (part of two Super Bowl appearances and one victory), Kirchner is a rising star who's had a few interviews but no offers. Why?  Could be because he comes off as almost meek to a fault (watch the video) but there's also been some speculation that he's hanging around for a shot at running the Seahawks once John Schneider hangs it up.  He'll likely be a popular choice among fans, but he's not my favorite of the ones I've seen mentioned so far.  I get a vibe that he might be the Seahawks equivalent of Eric DeCosta. Though he has yet to actually turn down an interview, he did pull out of the Niners search. He's in an odd spot as a "co-director" of personnel.  From what I've read, Kirchner handles evaluation of the pro talent while Scott Fitterer is in charge of the college scouting.

Scot, I really wish the circumstances of your returning were different, but glad to have you here with solid analysis of FO candidates in the difficult time for us diehard fans.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
