strangely enough, some of our draft picks have been great starters, some have been busts.

...sounds almost like the draft isn't a guarantee.

Haven't all of our first rounders at least turned out pretty well? I'm probably missing someone obvious but it seems like in Fox's tenure, anyway, they've all been starters.

I was trying to remember who we picked up when we traded down. Good call.

While I think that you have a definite point, you also have to consider that we've gotten some really, really good players with some of the moves.

Not lately. We could take this all the way back to 1995 if you wanted. I think Brown, Edwards, and Otah was worth where we got them but not what we gave up.

Back to '95 wouldn't really be fair, considering Hurney hasn't been here that long.

How do you figure Otah was not worth what we gave up?

I can see a point for Brown and Edwards, but Otah??

if Otah can stay healthy......he could easily make a run at being the best RT in the NFC or NFL. It is unforunate he has been injury prone......but he worth his 1st round price when on the field.

Agreed...the guy is a monster and is the best run blocker on the team and maybe in the league. You just can't get to our RBs when he is the lead blocker and I think its pretty apparent who the most valuable player on the OL is.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
