I still don't understand how, with 3 required starters and 4 guys to fill those postions, LB is not a higher need on anyone's list...

I guess if you're comfortable with Mortty Ivy, Jordan Senn, Brett Warren, and Quinton Culberson, more power to you...

Because Davis, Beason, Conner, Anderson, Whoever as a LB core is better than:

Nothing at all for a returner

Hunter Cantwell as #2 QB

Dewayne Jarrett as anything

I could argue DT as more of a need as well. One LB is coming off IR, three DTs are. Also, not one of those DTs were anything special before getting hurt, unlike the LB.

Not trying to sound like an ass, just defending my list :P

Returner, we have Sutton and Munnerlyn if we have to have them, and we can pickup someone like Brandon Banks really really late in the draft... It isn't a need...

Get Jason Campbell somehow and the QB need disappears... If we don't, I agree that by my formula, QB is technically the 2nd overall need...

Jarrett will do just fine, in my opinion... He and Moore have worked together longer than Moore and Smitty... But WR is the third biggest need, as we need another smaller/speedy guy to play the slot (unless we want to feature two speedy guys on the outside and put our possession WR (Jarrett) in the slot)... Everyone keeps forgetting Kenny Moore too, and he'll be a solid #4...

DT is nowhere near the need that LB, QB, or WR are... We have two guys we traded draft picks for (Leonard and Tyler), a guy we spent a relatively high draft pick on last year (Irvin), and someone who filled the role more adequately than James Anderson or Dan Connor filled the LB roles (Hayden)...not even mentioning Ed Johnson, who could very well surprise some of you in his rotational role... We have a logjam at DT with no standout star... Sure, we'll draft one pretty early, but I wouldn't consider it in our 3 biggest needs...

Why don't we just convert Hayden into a LB? From what I saw of him last year, he seems to like to play back about 5 yrds off the ball.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      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. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      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
