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.

    • It can happen but it’s nothing like the NBA. One player doesn’t make the difference in the NFL that one player can in the NBA. Also, there are just not the same amount of trades and even opportunities. Because the NFL isn’t just one stud away, you don’t get a lot of opportunities like Miami did with Tua or the Jets did with Zach Wilson. Both teams got multiple 1sts for players they traded (Jets had 5 1sts in 2021-2022 and Miami had 5 1sts in 2020-2021) and both got top 5 picks to select a QB. They both made some good and bad picks but Miami turned Tua into multiple playoff appearances even though Tua isn’t elite. Wilson was just so bad that the Jets still sucked. We had our opportunity in 2022 where we would have had 6 1sts and 4 2nds in 2023-2025 and probably had a top 5 pick in 2023 or 2024 for a QB without trading up. Unfortunately, Fitterer didn’t have the foresight to realize a full rebuild was necessary and when a team offers you 2 1sts and a 2nd for a non-QB like Tunsil and Burns, you take it. One thing I wish trades had in the NFL that they have in the NBA is protected picks. A moron like Fitterer could have a top 5 protected pick so his terrible GMing doesn’t accidentally give the Bears the #1 overall pick because the moron Fitterer incorrectly thought we were 1 player away from the playoffs.
    • Anyone that believes getting a couple late season wins to end the season at 4-13 while picking 9th in each round, other than 2-15 with the 1st pick in each round is not being realistic.  It happens nearly every other year, Jags gave the browns a insane package to move from 2nd to 5th. If not for late season pointless/everyone forgets late season wins the Panthers would have gotten that franchise changing package. Not to mention Panthers would have had Herbo and Sewell in other years, but nope. Do I need to bring up da bears??? The goal is long term winning in order to make the playoffs, one season to tank could spark it with a Burrow that's gets sacked 60 times on the way to a SB.  I want to win as bad as anyone, but the second the Panthers are eliminated from playoff contention, the ONLY solution is to lose the remaining games to gain a better chance to never do that again. No other answer.
