I'm happy with it.

Brown has a lot of potential and he will only get better with experience, he's already shown he can play on run downs and not be just pushed around like many smaller DE's can. The big thing for me is that he has a motor and doesn't quit until the whistle blows.

Martin was horribly unpopular to start with but I was more willing to wait and see with him, and while he has gone back to playing his college position instead of what we drafted him for, he has done very well in the short time he's been starting. The only bad thing is that this pick invalidates one from last year.

Irvin is way too early to tell, especially having been put on IR. We will have to wait and see.

Goodson will be better put to use by our next coach, I don't think Fox trusts him and that's a shame because he's a good candidate for a WR position...

Fiametta has a ways to go before he can replace Hoover, but that's not going to be easy considering Hoov is one of the best blocking fullbacks in the league.

Duke is going to replace Vincent eventually, it's just a matter of how motivated he is to take the position. I think after this year the next coaching staff will feel more comfortable with him but as of now he'll be a mystery until he sees some action.

Munnerlyn certainly turned out to be a surprise pick that I know a lot of SC fans on this board were pulling for. He has very good instincts and doesn't mind playing physical. The best part of his game is being able to go against much larger WR's and still make plays, considering he's gone up against some of the best already this year.

I think Brown has been having a pretty good rookie season. Wait until next season when he builds more muscle and more weight. I think he will be good for us for many years to come.

yeah i definitely think brown is having a solid rookie year and will be a really good DE for us for awhile.

its also nice to read that the guy puts in a lot of extra work and cares about getting better.

    • So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...
    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
