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.

    • I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).
    • Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.
    • We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
