HAH! They coulda had Coples or Ingram or Jones but took Irvin. Some guy just won a lot of $50 bets... shocker of the draft. Two years in a row now, Seahawks are making a habit of extreme reaches in the 1st.

yeah i was suprised a little by this pick, but then again, maybe they saw something we didnt in him

This isnt a reach. Dude is a FREAK of a OLB prospect. One of the best pass rushers in the draft with some crazy speed.

If this dudes learns how to play OLB he is gonna be a straight BEAST!

If we had ended up trading down around there and took Bruce freaking Irvin, with Coples, Ingram, Jones still on the board I would have had to get a new chair because I would have literally shat myself. Despite my disappointment with our pick at #9 at the time, I've been able to talk myself into it, at least Luke's a good football player not just a good athlete. Irvin at #15 would have made Al Davis go "damn, that was a reach."

Irvin was my favorite player for the second round so Irvin 15 th is a surprise, a DE/OLB running as fast as a CB is something rare.

He could be one of the most powerfull and fast player for his size.

Btw a player like Irvin can certainly play SSS Super strong safety.

.

at 2.40 Irvin sack both the Tackle and the QB. :o

I will keep an eye on the Seahawks because they have drafted 2 of my favorite players of the 2012 draft, Irvin and Howard.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
