Would Trading Shaq to Seahawks Be An Option?

'Hawks are in win-now mode and have a window to get a ring or two. Irvin and Blair just went down for the year with injuries this past weekend. After trading for Adams and the style of defense that is run, would Shaq be a move that we could capitalize on?

Shaq played at UW as well, so it's kinda like bringing home a local kid....even though he's actually from Sacramento. 

For us, we can take a mulligan on Hurney's overpaying and probably maximize Shaq's return due to the situation Seattle is in. 

I would hate to see a young talented player go somewhere else and be the player we thought he would be here.

The elephant in the room for me is figuring out if Shaq can be "the man" like we envisioned, or is he better as a complimentary player that looked good in a unit with Luke and TD. 

It would also deplete the hell out of our already struggling linebacking corps and we would have to double-dip in '21 to make up for it. Our LBs have looked god awful outside of Chinn. Now, I do think if we would've added a LB like Littleton or we draft Parsons or Moses in 2021, Shaq could be back to who we think he is. 

This move would be more about remedying a Hurney overpay and maybe getting a shiny asset and open up cap space moving forward.

Seahawks don't have a 1st round picks in the 2021 or 2022 draft or a 3rd rounder in 2021. So your best bet is they would maybe give up a 2nd rounder which would be very late in the round since they're likely a playoff team. With who we have drafting, do you trust that we would be able to patch up another hole this would leave with a late 2nd rounder?

A 2nd? For an overpaid LB. when they just drafted a similar player(Brooks) and still have Wagner and Wright. That’s delusional.

I didn't say I think they'd get it, I said at best....for this hypothetical scenario the OP brought forth that doesn't make sense for either side

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
