So in the next 72 hours we will know who our draft picks are.  I am very excited about this draft, regardless of who we eventually pick up.  I trust in Fitterer and Rhule will repeat a good haul like we did in 2020.

Fitterer and the Seahawks like to bring in a lot of UDFAs.  I think this would really make training camp really competitive.

I'm curious if they will offer whatever the maximum signing bonus they can give these UDFAs?  Will we sign local players unlike Hurney missing out on several local team players?  Probably the biggest was James Hurst who played Tackle for Baltimore?

I know we won't know who will be available until after the draft.  Just curious on what your thought are on how Fitterer will be different than Hurney.

The way Fit signed Micah Parsons and Darius Clark, leads me to believe he will bring in a lot of UDFA's also. They seem to be all about finding developmental talent anywhere they can!

I mean Micah Simon (Thanks)

The point he made that got my attention was that they have, in the past, signed as many as 20 UDFAs.  Obviously the more the merrier.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
