Seahawks working the phones to find a 1st round trade-down partner...

Hate to break it to ya but the Redskins, Lions and Chiefs also could use upgrades at LT.

A recent mock i seen has Trent Williams and Eric Berry being the best players available at your pick. The Chiefs take Buluga and the Redskins take Okung. You could switch those two but your still missing out on a tackle that early. Honestly i see Charles Brown as someone they would have their eyes on. Tell me what you would think of this first round. Eric Berry and Charles Brown.

I haven't seen Charles Brown's name come up...I am ok with Berry though. And ya, I am pretty sure we are out of luck for a premium LT as well. There was another post talking about Washington having a surprise pick maybe....guess we'll all find out in a few hours!

I agree with you about trading down. If you could steal a top LT at #6 and then parlay #14 into a few 2nd's or 3rd's you would make out like bandits.

I just don't see us trading into the mid-1st round, maybe 25-32, but I give that about a 15% chance of happening.

It just seems like it'll take too much to get up there and we don't have much to offer. Unless there is a guy with a 1st round grade that we absolutely covet that drops to the late 1st round, you won't be hearing from us tonight. Hurney probably sees it as being too much of a risk to give up multiple picks for one guy this year unless he's a lock to produce.

carolina does have the resources...it's called a RB.

i had a dream that the panthers traded half of double trouble to move up and pick up a stud defensive lineman.

lol good thing it was just a dream, if your a fan, y would u want us to lose a star to draft a possible bust? and before anybody says we need a d-line prospect, how about letting r d-line play this year and then evaluate their play??? it's so fuging annoying the lack of faith some so called fans have in r team

a dream has nothing to do with my faith in the team.

i do have faith in hurney's almost uncanny ability to avoid first round draft busts, and in his guts to pull the trigger on anything that will overall make the team better regardless of how weak/bad the move looks now.

if it happens, it happens. if it doesn't, oh well.

my purpose for mentioning the dream is simply for fun.

    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.  
    • They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.
    • Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
