How come you never see our teams draft board after the draft is over?

Do you think this means the Panthers would have taken Burns even as high as 9 if that's where they were picking?

Now that is the million dollar question. IMO, they would have. Also IMO, that would have been a big mistake. I understand we are switching to more 3-4 and our need at DE/OLB was high but you just can't pass up on a guy like Ed Oliver. But, that is also because I believe he is going to be one of those instant impact players and a multiple Pro Bowl/All-Pro guy.

I don’t think that a professional organization can be successful if they are worried about “feelings”. What if Taco Bell was telling it’s mangers not to make Tracy clean the bathroom because she hates poop smells.. whatever draft tendencies viewing an old board would give up I feel teams already know..every team knows how the Seahawks draft big corners, Gettleman affection for big guys, and our love of long armed corners.

Not really buying the “if they knew we had a first round grade on them” argument either. Once you drive a car off the lot value decreases as seen with Rosen.  That said some teams have been shown recording videos with their draftboards clearly visible, Cowboys the last to come to mind. I guess the reason that makes the most sense is you don’t want to give them anything they don’t have to work for already..

    • Honestly, the guy does a TON of good research. His videos are always high quality and his insight is always stellar.  This video however changed my mind...dramatically about the draft.  Anyone who's seen my opinions knows Im a all in BPA guy, HOWEVER, this kind of changed my mind...Im now a BPA...at position of value dictated by the board.  A lot of words to say, weighted average is important. We all all know that having a good qb on a rookie contract is important, but what about a good edge...or reciever...or tackle?  THOSE things make a different and this opened my eyes to that.  With that said, not that I think we SHOULD go receiver in the first, HOWEVER, IT DOES MAKE SENSE.  If you have good young recievers coming in on rookie contracts, then you have more to build the rest of the roster at a lower cost.  If we were a team loaded at Receiver then things would be different, however, we only truly have 2 reliable WRs, so would another Receiver be a bad pick...I actually dont think so now based on value going forward.  Its just something to consider for everyone.    
    • Yeah, it's fool's gold. Darnold always had the tools. He just needed a tram with an elite D, a top 5 WR, and a Super Bowl MVP RB to carry him so he wouldn't be asked to press where he becomes a turnover machine. Darnold settled in once he was in a situation where he could just be a very talented game manager. People try to tell themselves Bryce can do that without realizing that Darnold still forces the D to respect the throws he can make that the coaches would rather he not attempt where as Bryce simply doesn't have the physical ability to force that respect opening up other opportunities. Like Parcells said leading up to the draft that based on his physical tool set "he better walk on water". What he was politely trying to say is that Bryce simply doesn't have an NFL physical tool set.
    • Got home in time to see Halls goal in the 3rd. Saw replays of Staal and LeCuck dropping gloves on the faceoff loved that! Playoff Freddie entered the building  woo! Hope to see the full replay on Fandual.
