We Have to go QB rd 1 and we all know we will go that direction.

but we really need to help the young guy.

 

One thing that’s a QBs best friend is a Solid TE.  We payed Ian Thomas, but that guy would be a TE 2 or 3 in any other roster.

Washington is a Massive human being and a good athlete.  He’s a Mauler as a blocker and a good enough receiver.  Having him and Tremble in 2TE sets is a dream, almost like Baltimore.

I love Darnell, and he's moving up draft boards.  The kid over at Notre Dame is the concensus best TE on their boards, with grades in the teens (where Greg was drafted).

They say he is hall of fame material, been called baby Gronk since high school.  I run the draft mock machine at fanspeak about 30 times a day while working, and when I can get the ND kid (Mike Mayer) I've been taking him with the first pick of the second, turning down good offers for trade backs.

Darnell is always available on those big boards, and it would not be unheard of if both TEs went in the first before our 2nd pick.  Teams in the late 20s in the draft would see valuable versatile pass catcher still there at that point will take him.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
