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've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.

    • No they are going to give Claudin Cherelus 2 spots.
