Welcome to the live blog. I’ll be posting thoughts on every pick as they come in.
Join in via the comments section but please — no tipping picks.
This is a key day for the Seahawks. There are lots of good players still available. Their picks at #59 and #64 match up well to the pass rushers and defensive linemen.
Second round
#33 Cincinnati — Tee Higgins (WR, Clemson)
Higgins is fine. He can be productive, especially with Joe Burrow. He needs a big target. But I can’t get over him pulling out of the combine because he needed a ‘rest’.
#34 Indianapolis — Michael Pittman Jr (WR, USC)
The second round kicks off with a run on receivers. This was a big need for the Colts. Pittman is a classy player. The concern is whether he’ll be able to separate.
#35 Detroit — D’Andre Swift (RB, Georgia)
And now here comes the run on running backs. Detroit will have a tandem of Kerryon Johnson and D’Andre Swift. That’s a good duo.
#36 New York Giants — Xavier McKinney (S, Alabama)
He was always overrated by the media. He’s not a rangy safety, he’s a 4.6 runner and he was blitzed a lot. You can get after him in the running game.
#37 New England — Kyle Dugger (S, Lenoir-Rhyne)
This is such a Patriots pick. Versatile safety. Physical. Alpha male. A perfect fit.
#38 Carolina — Yetur Gross-Matos (DE, Penn State)
Roger Goodell said Gross-ma-toast! He must’ve been speaking to JC this week. They needed a bigger end to compliment Brian Burns. I like it when a team commits to improve one particular unit and Derrick Brown plus Gross-Matos will do that.
#39 Miami — Robert Hunt (T, Louisiana-Lafayette)
Superb pick for Miami. Whether he plays guard or tackle, he has a chance to be a long-time exceptional offensive lineman. This is superb value.
#40 Houston — Ross Blacklock (DT, TCU)
I was never a big fan of Blacklock’s. Didn’t have a great short shuttle and his win percentage wasn’t anything special. Shorter arms.
#41 Indianapolis (v/CLE) — Jonathan Taylor (RB, Wisconsin)
The Colts moved up three spots to secure Taylor. They’re building around Philip Rivers and this is tremendous value. A stud player with outstanding upside.
#42 Jacksonville — Laviska Shenault (WR, Colorado)
He can be a playmaker but you’ve got to have a plan for him. He’s caught between a runner and a receiver and he needs a manufactured role.
#43 Chicago — Cole Kmet (TE, Notre Dame)
Everyone says he put on a show at the combine. Check his three cone. It was poor. And that’s the test that history tells us really matters.
#44 Cleveland — Grant Delpit (S, LSU)
A year ago they took Greedy Williams when he fell. History repeats here. Delpit is a top-15 talent. Goodness knows what the league found out for him to last this long.
#45 Tampa Bay — Antoine Winfield (S, Minnesota)
Wonderful player. A huge playmaker. Fast, fluid, mature. Tampa Bay’s productive off-season continues.
#46 Denver — K.J. Hamler (WR, Penn State)
I like this move. You’ve got to try and outgun Kansas City. You’ve got to give Drew Lock a fighting chance. Jerry Jeudy, Noah Fant and now Hamler can help create a dynamic offense.
#47 Atlanta — Marlon Davidson (DT, Auburn)
He’s full of personality but what is his position? Can he adjust to play three technique? It’s a big question mark.
#48 Seattle (v/NYJ) — Darrell Taylor (DE, Tennessee)
The Seahawks trade #101 to move up 11 spots to go and get… Darrell Taylor. A highly athletic, massive potential pass rusher. I love the pick. Go and get some pass rush. Go and get some upside.
The #Seahawks needed pass rush. Darrell Taylor has massive upside. 18.6% win percentage. Here’s what he’ll bring to Seattle… pic.twitter.com/F7M9EZDE6w

#49 Pittsburgh — Chase Claypool (WR, Notre Dame)
Claypool is a fantastic, physical specimen. He’ll do it all — special teams, blocking and receiving. The Steelers always hit on receivers.
#50 Chicago — Jaylon Johnson (CB, Utah)
There was a feeling he could sneak into the back end of round one. This is decent value at pick #50.
#51 Dallas — Trevon Diggs (CB, Alabama)
Dallas double down on value. Whatever anyone says about Jerry Jones — the man has drafted well for a few years now. Diggs can track the ball, he has ideal size and he has as much potential as his brother.
#52 LA Rams — Cam Akers (RB, Florida State)
The Seahawks better get on the phone to Isaiah Crowell or the Beast. The fantastic five are down to just J.K. Dobbins. It’s a great scheme fit, unfortunately for Seattle.
#53 Philadelphia — Jalen Hurts (QB, Oklahoma)
This is interesting. Not sure how Hurts or Carson Wentz will feel about this. Wentz will wonder if he’s looking over his shoulder. Hurts will wonder if he’s going to be stuck behind another QB — just like he was in Alabama.
#54 Buffalo — A.J. Epenesa (DE, Iowa)
I said I wouldn’t take him in the top-50. The NFL seemed to agree. Look — he can do some things well. But he’s lacks quickness. He won’t find easy wins in the NFL. He’ll have to make it happen. He needs to get quicker and stronger.
#55 Baltimore — J.K. Dobbins (RB, Ohio State)
There go the top five runners. Now there’s a serious drop to the next tier. The Ravens love to run and Dobbins is highly explosive and athletic. He delivers in big games.
#56 Miami — Raekwon Davis (DT, Alabama)
Really like Miami’s two picks today. Robert Hunt and now big Raekwon. That’s a lot of toughness and physicality. He has Calais Campbell level potential.
#57 LA Rams — Van Jefferson (WR, Florida)
He’s very polished and well coached. We don’t have testing numbers though. What is his upside?
#58 Minnesota — Ezra Cleveland (T, Boise State)
He was getting a lot of first round buzz but he lasted deep into round two. The Vikings needed some O-line help. He is very explosive and athletic.
#59 New York Jets (v/SEA) — Denzel Mims (WR, Baylor)
This was Seattle’s original pick. It’s unclear why Mims lasted this long. The Jets get good value and fill two big needs with Mekhi Becton and now Mims.
#60 New England (v/BAL) — Josh Uche (EDGE, Michigan)
Another great and typical defensive fit for New England. They took Chase Winovich a year ago. They love players with this kind of size and pass rush production. The Pats are taking their guys. They moved up a few spots here in a deal with the Ravens.
#61 Tennessee — Kristian Fulton (CB, LSU)
This is good value. He lacks size and length but he competes well above his size and like Trevon Diggs he can track the ball.
#62 Green Bay — A.J. Dillon (RB, Boston College)
This is a reach for me. He’s hugely athletic and powerful but he’s also a north-south type who is a bit stiff. There’s no jump cut.
#63 Kansas City — Willie Gay Jr (LB, Mississippi State)
As you can probably guess, I love this Chiefs draft. They’ve taken two of my favourite players. Gay is a fantastic athlete comparable to Bobby Wagner and he’s a playmaker.
#64 Carolina (v/SEA) — Jeremy Chinn (S, Southern Illinois)
The Seahawks have traded down to pick #69 and gain pick #148 (the second pick in round five). I mocked Chinn to the Panthers a couple of times. They needed a safety and Chinn is a dynamic, fast last line of the defense. He’s got range. I don’t know why people think he can play linebacker though. He’s 100% a safety.
Round three
#65 Cincinnati — Logan Wilson (LB, Wyoming)
Love this pick. Wilson is physical and he flies to the football. He’s a leader and was a three-year captain at Wyoming. He had a ton of interceptions. Superb value here.
#66 Washington — Antonio Gibson (RB, Memphis)
The player many talked about in the build up to the draft about his ability to switch from receiver to running back.
#67 Detroit — Julian Okwara (DE, Notre Dame)
He’s going to join his brother in Detroit. This is a great value pick. He had a 23% win rate. He has speed and length. He’s stronger than people think.
#68 New York Jets — Ashtyn Davis (S, California)
This is the pick the Jets got for Leonard Williams. I wasn’t a fan of Davis. Great athlete but his tape is all over the place sometimes.
#69 Seattle (v/CAR) — Damien Lewis (G, LSU)
I love Damien Lewis. I loved interviewing him. He’s a powerful monster of a man. He was superb at the Senior Bowl. This is great value. I thought he was a second rounder. He scored an excellent 97.1 in weighted TEF. Great day for Seattle.
#70 Miami — Brandon Jones (S, Texas)
There were no testing numbers for Jones and this is probably a round higher than most expected.
#71 Baltimore — Justin Madubuike (DT, Texas A&M)
In the last week there were some reports there were character concerns with Madubuike. Nevertheless, he’s highly athletic and has a lot of potential.
#72 Arizona — Josh Jones (T, Houston)
I was never big on Josh Jones. It’ll be interesting to see if there was a reason for him lasting this long. Or maybe the league just weren’t keen.
#73 Jacksonville — DaVon Hamilton (DT, Ohio State)
This is a quality pick for the Jaguars. He can pressure up the middle and he can anchor. He has a lot of potential.
#74 New Orleans (v/CLE) — Zack Baun (LB, Wisconsin)
I was never big on Baun. He couldn’t play rush edge at 238lbs. Yet that’s what he did best at Wisconsin. So now he has to transition to linebacker. And nobody knows how that’ll go.
#75 Detroit — Jonah Jackson (G, Ohio State)
He wasn’t great at the Senior Bowl but his tape was good. He adjusted well to the change at Ohio State. You can see why the Belichick coaching/front office tree like him.
#76 Tampa Bay — Ke’Shawn Vaughn (RB, Vanderbilt)
Many believe he suffered due to Vandy’s collapse in 2019. Going into the season he was very highly rated. I liked him. A flier on him here could turn into a steal.
#77 Denver — Micheal Ojemudia (CB, Iowa)
This is a lot earlier than expected. He has Seahawks size. The cornerbacks have really flown off the board in the early rounds.
#78 Atlanta — Matt Hennessy (C, Temple)
This could mean they save some money on Alex Mack. I thought Hennessy was really good at the Senior Bowl.
#79 New York Jets — Jabari Zuniga (DE, Florida)
There goes Zuniga. He had a 20% win percentage and he has a ton of upside. I’m not crazy about Ashtyn Davis but overall I like this Jets class.
#80 Las Vegas — Lynn Bowden Jr. (WR, Kentucky)
Bowden doesn’t look that fast (and he dodged the combine) but he just has a knack of making plays. They can use him in so many ways. He has a Raider attitude.
#81 Las Vegas — Bryan Edwards (WR, South Carolina)
I love this pick. Fantastic value. He’s incredibly talented and set records at South Carolina. He plays with fire. He’s an ideal compliment to Henry Ruggs and Lynn Bowden. A classic west-coast-offense type.
#82 Dallas — Neville Gallimore (DT, Oklahoma)
Gallimore was a weird prospect. He ran a great forty but his short shuttle and three cone was abysmal. He was superb at the Senior Bowl but underwhelming on tape.
#83 Denver — Lloyd Cushenberry III (C, LSU)
He’s a really smart, consistent player. He’s not a flashy athlete. The Broncos will get a solid interior lineman though. He’s not a violent blocker like Damien Lewis.
#84 LA Rams — Terrell Lewis (DE, Alabama)
The injuries have taken a toll. He just tried to get through last season. He didn’t even try to rush the edge and plant his leg. He looks the part but will he ever be healthy?
#85 Indianapolis — Julian Blackmon (S, Utah)
On the conference all with Utah coach Kyle Whittingham this week, he was effusive in his praise of Blackmon. He talked about him more than any other Utah draft prospect.
#86 Buffalo — Zack Moss (RB, Utah)
For all the pissing and moaning by some Seahawks fans and media, the NFL has made sure the running backs have flown off the board in the first three rounds. Moss is really tough and he runs hard but he’s not a difference making athlete. Seattle’s depth at running back is going to be a question mark next season.
#87 New England — Afernee Jennings (DE, Alabama)
I thought he looked spent at Alabama. However, he’s another classic Patriots fit in terms of playing style and frame.
#88 Cleveland — Jordan Elliott (DT, Missouri)
PFF loved Elliott and Josh Jones. I didn’t at all. Both lasted into round three. I’ve no idea what PFF saw.
#89 Minnesota — Cam Dantzler (CB, Mississippi State)
His tape is fine. He’s sparky. He played well. But he’s small and lacks length.
#90 Houston — Jonathan Greenard (DE, Florida)
He’s an alpha. Great character. Good agility testing. But he’s not fast enough to trouble the edge as a pass rusher and the wrist injury is a concern.
#91 New England (v/LV) — Devin Asiasi (TE, UCLA)
Awesome pick. The Pats are having a great draft and I love this aggressive move to trade up and get Asiasi. He’s so underrated. He’s a natural running the seam and he has soft hands. He’ll be great in New England.
#92 Baltimore — Devin Duvernay (WR, Texas)
He took a lot of screens at Texas. He’s very mature and a good character. He’s a 4.3 runner. Lot’s of potential here. It’s a nice fit for Baltimore.
#93 Tennessee — Darrynton Evans (RB, Appalachian State)
Another running back off the board. I guess they don’t matter. He looked good at the combine. Nice quick feet and he’s quick.
#94 Green Bay — Josiah Deguara (TE, Cincinnati)
He had some admirers but I’m really surprised he’s gone ahead of Hunter Bryant. For me Bryant and Asiasi were the top two TE’s in this class.
#95 Denver — McTelvin Agim (DT, Arkansas)
I thought he could be a day three option for Seattle. The defensive tackles have left the board — apart from Leki Fotu. Increasingly it looks like a veteran fix there.
#96 Kansas City — Lucas Niang (T, TCU)
He surely only lasted this long due to the injury issues. It’s worth a flier in this range for a team that is already loaded.
#97 Cleveland — Jacob Phillips (LB, LSU)
He was supposed to be the big star this year, not Patrick Queen. It worked the other way round. Yet he’s still found a home in a decent range.
#98 Baltimore — Malik Harrison (LB, Ohio State)
This is a very Ravens-style Baltimore draft. They have a clear type. It all seems so obvious after. He’s a thumping 3-4 inside linebacker.
#99 New York Giants — Matt Peart (T, Connecticut)
He’s raw and needs a lot of work. However, he has ridiculous size and length and he’s highly explosive. As a raw talent — his potential is immense.
#100 Las Vegas — Tanner Muse (S, Clemson)
Of course. Mike Mayock loves these Clemson guys. Muse is that honest, hard-working type but with major athletic traits that didn’t show on tape.
#101 New England (v/NYJ) — Dalton Keene (TE, Virginia Tech)
The Patriots move up again for another tight end. He ran a superb three cone and that really matters. He’ll be a nice compliment to Devin Asiasi.
#102 Pittsburgh — Alex Highsmith (DE, Charlotte)
He had a nice win percentage of 21.7% but I couldn’t get excited about him on tape.
#103 Philadelphia — Davion Taylor (LB, Colorado)
He’s lightning quick and will fly around. He’s an Eagles type linebacker.
#104 LA Rams — Terrell Burgess (S, Utah)
He’s played corner and safety and his best fit at the next level could be at nickel.
#105 New Orleans (v/MIN) — Adam Trautman (TE, Dayton)
The Saints move up again in a trade with the Vikings. Trautman has the great three cone. There was some talk he could go as early as round two.
#106 Baltimore — Tyre Phillips (G, Mississippi State)
I liked Phillips. He deserved more attention for the way he played at the Senior Bowl. He’s massive and will kick inside perfectly to guard. This is, again, a very Baltimore type pick.

I like the duos idea Vol brought up for the latest clues. All three movies feature a duo.
Here are some possibilities:
Zach Baun and Jonathan Taylor
Jaylon Johnson and Bradly Anae
Greenard and Zuniga
Okwara and Claypool
Zach Moss and Jaylon Johnson
Raekwon Davis and Terrelle Lewis
I thought that too…
First video — help coming when it’s needed (pass rush need)
Second video — Rush hour
Third video — duo’s (as in we’re drafting a pair)
Don’t think they have to be from the same team. Think it’s possibly just that they’re drafting a couple of rushers.
Yeah that makes more sense actually! All for it.
Nice!
Also, Hunter Bryant and Nick Harris.
Lol the clues are too much fun. Pete is the best.
All are set in California
True Romance- Southern California setting
Maltese Falcon- San Francisco
Step Brothers- Will Farrell went to USC.
The prostitute in ‘True Romance’ is named Alabama and they’re on the move/run to California.
Step Brothers has the catalina wine mixer scene. Catilina island, CA. Plus Will Ferrell and the USC connection.
And Maltese Falcon is set in S.F. as Sea Mode mentions.
An earlier draft clue was “courtesy of” by Doug Baldwin, who went to Stanford (CA)
True Romance is a very underrated movie. Check it out if you haven’t seen it.
I don’t want to think about that because of Ashtyn Davis. I can’t contemplate the thought of them over-drafting him to sit behind Quandre Diggs.
Ashtyn Davis and Cole Kmet picks incoming!
Uche and Peoples-Jones too.
Just DL in R2 please?!😩
It’s the strength of the range they’ll be picking. I think you’ll be happy today.
The simulator made it so I couldn’t screw up. Lots of choices at each pick. Watch me get shattered. Lol
Rob
Great job this season!! You keep getting better and better
I’m fully bought in and hope the get any 2 of Uche, Zuniga, Davis or Hamilton.
They just showed Jacob Eason at home with some family and there was a pretty smokin hot blonde. Anyone know if it was his mom?
LOL
Jacob Eason was known for his prolific career with women when he was at Georgia. Probably one of his dime pieces.
Make hay while the sun shines, Jacob.
you guys are great
Well, he is a handsome guy…so, as ya know, the apple never falls far from the tree.
His mom is a Brunette. Don’t ask me how I know this.
Rob,
I wanted to thank you for all the dedication and work you do for us as Seahawks fans. I know you had a moment last night where you thought you’d let us down by not bringing up Brooks in the pre-draft process, but I never thought that for a moment – and I’m sure most everyone else felt the same way. For years your tireless analysis and excellent journalism has educated me and made the draft process funner, more understandable from a team-building standpoint, and more realistic from a “who will likely get drafted where” standpoint. The fact you finished third in the Huddle Report and got 28 out of 32 first rounders correct is just further validation of your skills and experience. I can’t even count how many times you were the first to bring up a likely high pick that no one in the media was considering , or even a first pick (Kyler Murray) that the rest of the analyst community were sleeping on.
As someone who’s entire professional life revolves around research, analysis, doing write-ups of the information, and then making critical decisions based on that information that impacts millions of dollars at a time, I appreciate and understand full-well what it is you do. What makes your information superior to many in the media is the concept of relative analysis. It’s so much easier to speak in absolutes and stereotypes. It’s much harder to make a dynamic assessment based not only on the absolute data (player stats, measurements, combine testing, etc.) but how that data stacks up relative to every other player at that position. It’s exactly how you spotted Kyler Murray when so many were focused on absolute measurables. You could see Murray’s added value to winning a game relative to all the other quarterbacks in the class. Relative analysis is the hardest to achieve because it requires the most work: identifying key variables and weighting those for value, keeping an open mind, and critical thinking beyond absolute numbers. I understand that most analysts will do a degree of relative analysis, but the best are those who constantly see the world through that prism. It’s also the best way to spot “what a player can do” instead of fixating on “what they can’t do.”
My hats off to you for so much time and sacrifice for us as fans. And I respect your experience, skills and analysis more than any other Seahawks media site (I’m not trying to put them down, I simply elevate you above the rest). There’s a saying I use when the bullets are flying and hard decisions need to be made: “I know what I know.” I may not always be right, but my process is good and I always seek to put probability on my side. I see that with you all the time. You know what you know. You’re willing to continue to learn and grow, which is great, but you also put out the best Seahawks-related analysis I have ever seen…and I’ve been following them since their very first game.
Thank you.
Thanks man. I loved reading that. Thank you.
great post Dwight
👏👏
Great post
Any chance we trade up today?
Sure
Can i still dream about Taylor? lets not hope 😀
Rob – I think maybe that clip of Cody Barton haunted their dreams as much as it did yours. I appreciate this website so much! Great content. (First time poster/long time reader.)
Good… I’m glad! It was a haunting image.
It was one play. I respect that Barton was smart enough not to drive a QB into the ether and hurt his team with an inevitable 15 yard personal foul.
For the love of God can we please stop harping on this? You people are treating it like the butt fumble. Barton will be fine.
Uf…I didnt sleep for 42 hours, have asleep at 8pm and woke up few minutes ago (luckily)…I dont know.what ibwould do.if I missed this…lets goooo Seahawks…
I’m not ready for PC/JS Wild Ride. I fully expect to be totally disappointed with whoever they pick.
Let’s hope they defy THOSE expectations tonight.
Top wished for me today, in no particular order.
DaVon Hamilton
Chase Claypool
Ezra Cleveland/Robert Hunt/Josh Jones/maybe Peart with a 3rd
Any of the big name running backs, although Akers with the 3rd would be ideal.
Any of the pass rushers we’ve talked about with traits as an upside pick Taylor/Okwara/Zuniga/Utah Gross My Toast maybe/someone I’m forgetting
Davis or Madubuike
My optimal: Okwara + Hamilton
Mine too
Would love Taylor best though
Sold
Wow, looks like the Colts didn’t waste a second turning in the card.
Exactly Michaelm Irvin just mentioned why I like Tee Higgins. His ability to stack DBs is one the best in this class.
Thank you Rob.
Today feels like it will be a bit harder to watch, many of the names I’ve been made aware of through SDB, will be coming off of the board soon.
CEH, and Willie Gay Jr. were my two wants, felt like they had the ability to be difference makers.
Cautiously optimistic for today.
Too early for Indy to go Jalen as the heir to Rivers?
guess so. Think Hurts goes fairly soon. Patriots?
I think Seattle will move back off of 64 if they can
No! That is our new lucky draft number! Claypool will be #64!
ooooh good call on #64
Would rather have us focusing on pass rush
Same. Try to get a mid-late 4th hopefully
If anything, I think they will try to fill the gap in R5.
Probably.
Especially if they trade up at #59.
Another Will Ferrell clue. lol.
Daniel Jeremiah broadcasting from TJ Maxx?
I could see them trading up from 59 with their forth then trading back at 64 to get the pick back.
Swift & Kerryon? Interesting.
Taylor is in danger now
yeah likely gonna go soon
Miami
makes sense
still mad at yesterday’s pick. We could have got Taylor and brooks today
Let it go, Ashish..It is what it is and we move on.
yup TomLPDX. You’re right
Brooks wouldnt have made it to 59. Im guessing they knew that and it makes sense.
They were going to take swift before Green Bay grabbed their pick
We would have to trade up. Hope we don’t. Bigger needs.
im hopeful for Akers. i know we now have no cance for Taylor
Miami is just two spot earlier
Swift and Kerryon Johnson will be a great duo.
Pats stayin’ put or moving back?
im going out on a limb here that’ll likely break…….Hurts
Don’t think anyone really wants to move up that bad. Sounds like everyone wants to move back.
Keep the RB’s and WR’s coming please. Let the board break this way please.
Go get JoTay
Wingo is obsessed with that damn dog.
screw wingo..he’s a cowpukes fan
love J Taylor a real player
Well, Detroit has been looking for a home in threat rb since Barry Sanders retired. Good get for them. Can’t wait to blow my stack,when Seattle picks someone I never heard of lol! Go Hawks!
PS Rob, excellent job this year. There was no way to know they’d focus on LB so hard….
Thanks
Rob how surprised are you that X went before Winfield?
Man,I would have taken Winfield….
Winfield is better but there was talk of some injury concerns.
I swear to god. If NE gets Winfield, jr? I will be mad online.
Run on safeties
Starting to gain hope that we will get one of the great R2 options Rob identified. A lot of our R2 DL options still on the board. Plus Taylor and others. Hope rising slowly…
Its crazy how a certain.petson.on twitter knows these picks 3-4 minutes before they announce them.
Breer. Just muted him. He’s like 2 picks ahead of broadcast.
I already know who the Panthets are taking g
$$$$$
Please dont talk about it here until its announced
Yep no tipping picks please.
Let Albert Breer ruin the fun on twitter but not here.
I’m not, just crazy how ahead people are.
another S before Winfield ??
Winfield was a real combine darling among media types never really bought the first round talk.
I thought he was borderline 1st. 30-45 range.
Denzel Mims to CAR for Rhule?
Gross Mah-Toast!
Thank god that YGM is off the board
Amen.
For sure. Adios
finally
Back to business!! Go Hawks!! Go PCJS
Today
59 Raekwon Davis DT or Blacklock or Justin Madubuike
64 Chase Claypool WR Davon Hamilton DT, Devin Duvernay WR or RB
101 A.J. Dillion RB If you took RB at 64 then maybe Hamilton drops here or a T that has fallen
Currently I still working on Brooks pick and how that can help getting a proven DE guy. We may have to take a step back this back this year in order to take a leap next year.
Going by a need to replace Jefferson who last year played ever position on the line. If you think you going to draft a Leo type DE your crazy. If we got Chase Young. Sure but that wasn’t going to happen. Quit whining and look at why we grab Brooks.
Rob, I think the seahawks are the perfect team for you to follow. This FO challenges you so much, will always keep you guessing. Any other team you would nail. It would be boring by now.
It’s never dull. And I love this team. Always will. I just want to win another title.
We will Rob.
I so hope you’re right……..
100% with you on that. Appreciate the work you put in here.
#59 feels so farrrrrr away
Yup. Some of these next 20 off the board are really gonna hurt.
Only 20 picks to go
Yeah buy 45 is a realistic trade up range and that’s not so far!
What’s the gayest teacher to follow the picks? NFL network driving me nuts
Um…
Lmaoooo 😂😂
Sorry. I typed “fastest tracker” to follow the picks Genuine mistake. Apologies
LOL. Heck of a typo.
In that case, probably Breer on Twitter.
Or if you want a table that is about synchronized with broadcast: https://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker/picks?round=2&year=2020
Nice pick for Carolina. Rob made me really like that guy. Ill be rooting for him.
I hope this isn’t the start of a run on D-lineman.
I think were prepared to trade up if there is
Had too much success with it not to go back to the well. Especially after the trade values yesterday
It is still early but anyone else happy with how the 2nd round started? No edge (that we targeted) has been taken, no OL taken, Taylor still on board. I still think we trade up if one of “OUR GUYS” falls to like 48-50 but so far I’m digging it.
Absolutely. Wont last long though lmao
Wondering about that myself. However, they already missed treating down and getting some extra pics don’t know if they wanna waste any pics by trading up. Time will tell I suppose
Robert Hunt is MASSIVE!
DAMMIT!!!
Great pick for Miami.
earlier than expected on Hunt
Not earlier than I expected.
Mocked him in this range to Seattle in my last seven rounder.
NOOOOOOOOOO!
Now I don’t want them to draft an OL
Rob’s guy Robert Hunt is OFF THE BOARD! Damn.
‘fraid so 🙁
J Taylor will upgrade our offence and Baun our defense we need more drafts LOL….
I’m rooting for guys I like to go to afc. So great pick miami!
Mmmm… NFLN practically tipping half the picks with the house cams. 😡
I had a feeling he’d go earlier than expected. A great find by Rob.
Take the stud taylor 888
Robert Hunt showed highlights of Seattles newest running back:)
Take the stud taylor 888..he will rock.. But dont forget Epeneza
There goes this year’s Joel Bitonio. 🙁
Back to back ouches.
I cant believe Ezra Cleveland is still available
Great job this year Rob! And your pointing out Hunt early is a great example of your talent.
Looks like Colts traded up from 44 to 41?
Great pick for the Colts
Some surprising players still available. Speaks to the quality of round two this year.
It’s such a deep round.
Ross Blacklock looks like a teddy Graham lmfao
Lol Pete with another clue:
https://twitter.com/PeteCarroll/status/1253832567934967808
He was doing the feed me thing like a RB would do.
There goes Jonathan Taylor. Sigh.
damn.
Get ready! These next fifteen picks are going to be painful
shit 🙁
Boooooo 🙁
These picks are getting painful to watch.
This round is totally gonna suck
I feel bad for Taylor. He wanted SEA, he got IND.
I love Taylor but I’m glad he’s gone so the talk can stop, we have much bigger needs.
You might regret saying that when the offense is playing like it did at the end of last season again because they have no running threat (which will be the case if Carson gets injured yet again).
You might be right but I hope not lol. Lots of good backs left in the draft we can choose from. I hope we still have a shot at a solid DE could be a run coming up
He was one of a few players that made me not care about need lol. But I can agree, glad we are more likely to target needs now.
Maybe a decent back will be left at 101.
Indy stays killing it. 3 classes on a row that are excellent.
Taylor & Mack will be such a dope combo.
Yup they are one franchise QB away from being a legit contender. Jealous of their drafts.
They will be drafting 2021 where Chargers drafted 2020, I suspect. Rivers is done.
Finding Wilson was the ey for Seattle. Indy needs a real QB.
COLTS STOLE HIM
And a great steal it was
Dream crushed…..now pressure is off
Fuuuuuccccccckkkkkkkkkkk Taylor to colts…i am dissapoint. Pour one out to our man Bobbyk who felt that in his bones.
Hahaha he is a guaranteed HOF’er and don’t ever forget that.
GUARANTEE HE WILL OUT-RUSH ALL OTHER RUNNERS PICKED THIS YEAR
100%
I shall hold you to this. haha jk
maybe but he’ll split time with marlon mack so………….
not after he shows his stuff he will be go to guy…
Colts are loading up weapons for Rivers and future QB…
Tarnation! Now all I have left of rb wishlist is Dobbs or Akers….still got DT and DE studs left….
Dobbins wont last past TB imo
I hate my phone! Dobbins! Keeps changing it to Dobbs or Robbins lol!
atleast Taylor went to afc!
Dugger, Hunt, Taylor gone in 5 picks. The sting hurts. It hurts bad.
For whatever reason, I’ve really taken a shining to Grant Delpit. Hope he’s not gone in the next 10 picks (or maybe I do, it’s better if he’s gone at 40 than there at 54 and the Seahawks take someone else).
Dobbins and Akers still there tho
Is it just me, or are the picks just flying in this year?
Go get JK Dobbins
I like him. Might be my favorite back.
(Akers)
I’m not a Dobbins fan. If not Taylor, then I prefer Akers a bit later.
That guy can run the ball.
Reminds me of Paul Perkins. That’s not intended to be a compliment. I was all over Perkins coming out of USC but he’s bombed in the pros, and I fear Dobbins will too.
Not SC, UCLA. My bad
Sorry to say but if we trade back for more picks. I would be disappointed
Won’t get a lot of benefit out of trading back at this point, so I doubt much of that’s gonna happen.
I know a lot of these pics hurt because we wanted them all, but we need to stay focused on what our primary needs are. No sense in leaving the draft ignoring our primary needs like we have done so far in the off-season.
I’ve heard akers and Dobbins talk. Even some tauting dillon. What about mcfarland? Is he too small?
Not really our style RB, reported personality issues. (later denied by Pauline and his coaches at Maryland, but it’s out there)
if character concerns, I’m sure hawks look away. Like his talent tho.
Lol if the Buccaners pick up dobbins here, their offense will be unstopable.
Chicago or TB I think
OK LETS GET BAUN ANDEPENEZA TO B10 STUDS
Epeneza and Baun…Bug 10 studs,,..best outside of OSU
Epenesa was always overrated.
Said it a year ago. Seeing it now.
u prefer Baun? Ok
Neither one of these guys excites me. If they are there at 59 & 64, I’m more interested.
looks like theyve slowed it down for commercials and talking heads to chatter
That last clue. Courtesy of Steve Kerr. Bay area?
Tuna. Maybe Anae?
Asiasi? All the California clues. Tuna equates to Samoa or Hawaii
I’d be well up Asiasi if they didn’t already have 9 tight ends.
We’d have a serious deficiency in twitch at DE.
Fotu would fit if the clue has anything at all to do with Samoa.
If it’s Utah and therefore Anae and Fotu…
I like Utah. But I don’t want to be Utah.
idk. I’m totally stumped.
Did either of the first two clues mean anything? I don’t see Jordyn Brooks in either of the first two clues.
The position players are flying off the board here!
Great pick. I hope they enjoy him.
What is with all the tragic backstories this year?
I know jeez, its crazy. One guy slipped on gravel and just died… So sad.
other interesting 7th rounder quintez cephus hell of a receiver great hands…
So slow though.
He ran a lot faster at his pro day and looked fast enough on film. I’d LOVE Cephus in the 7th, but he’ll probably be gone by then.
Chaisson and Shenault for Jags. Two boom or bust guys.
Has the draft always been this depressing? Seems like everyone has a parent or sibling who tragically died.
Yeah, I don’t remember there being this much of this and other drafts. Lots of tragic stories.
Sad to say but wait until next year.
no cuz its not the event like before, they now have to do all human interest stuff on everyone. Cuz they can’t hop around all the players live and talk about the same 10 guys in first round.
And Kmet is off the board.
Please no tipping.
It was already on broadcast.
I think streaming is slightly delayed.
Pretty sure it depends on internet connection
First TE off the board.
Lot of players coming off the board I/we had no interest in.
Which is good news I suppose.
+1
absolutley good 2nd rd so far. Missing Taylor and hunt sucks, but our biggest need still looks good
I want all my favorite players gone so my heart isn’t crushed when the ‘Hawks skip them 🙁
Yep.
Except for Taylor and Hunt. But yeah there are still some fine prospects available.
15 more painful picks before us unless we move up (looking doubtful now).
Not unless a run starts.
Who do you want of anyone now?
Feeling good right now. I like how this playing out thus far.
Agreed. So far . . .
This is pretty good so far, only 2-3 people went from our board
Trying to show off some of your predraft bios on players from this fall to my fantasy football buddies – what gives having to choose the month articles were published to search? I don’t know what month you talked in depth about Kyle Dugger.
Because he does this for free and has a family to take care of. Be grateful we have this site.
Fair enough- I donate monthly to keep things going- just a change I hadn’t realized til now- seems like there used to be a total search function as of just a few weeks ago
Tuna + Mayonaise, another “pairing”.
Is there a pair of players from California that could interest us?
Raekwon and Terrell Lewis as a pair?
Florida maybe?
oooh…🤔
I’d take that all day!
JK Dobbins and DaVon Hamilton – OSU… wishing it into existence
heck yeah please!
Joshua Kelly and Devin Asiasi?
Anaee + Fotu
Rob, good call on Hunt
Went much earlier than most expected.
Know you’re not super high on Epenesa, Rob, but at what point would you be excited for him? 64?
Claypool at 64. No other choice!
Mid round RB to keep an eye on is James Robinson from Illinois St
Agreed.
Could see PC seeing some Carson in him.
Or Antonio Gibson
ESPN needs to fuck off with showing the player-cam before the pick is announced – it’s happened half a dozen times this round already.
Yup.
“bY THe wAy, ANtoiNe wINfieLd iS StiLL oN tHe bOaRd…”
literally next pick…
Ha, same deal with Robert Hunt. Real clever, guys
Had to mute Bob Condotta. He’s tipping picks a couple ahead. Frustrating.
Nice pick for Tampa.
Damn man. Winfield to a Bruce Arians coached team? 🤮
Tampa is going all in for a 2 year window to win a SB…… at least they are going for it.
Figured out PC HINT: Trevon Diggs ticks all three boxes : Alabama/ Sam Spade as in shovel “digs” , and Stepbrothers refers to his brother Stephan.
I do think they will love Diggs.
Interesting.
Raekwon Davis and Diggs?
I’m down for it. Diggs is really good.
Doubt it though.
Add Schneider’s comments at the end of the season expressing his distaste with the secondary play, maybe?
Dolphins already won the draft… solid draft so far, everything else is frosting
Tampa Bay winning the offseason
As long as Tua is a hit.
LOOKING back we should have moved down taket JT and perhaps a shot a delpy…i dont know what is best choice now
any suggestions?
Denver loading up on WR, not bads
Lock needs all the weapons he can get.
Hamler gone…shit shit shit
We’re not taking a Smurf receiver this early. We need dline and there are so many dline options left.
Do we have an update for best living room in the NFL draft contest?
Winfield’s looked nice, girl in green dress real nice!
But did she try to grab his phone?
Sutton, Jeudy, Hamler
And Fant
TRADE!
There we go.
We’re up to #48!
Seattle to 49. For who?
48 I mean.
Trade chart shows pick 101 to move up which sucks.
We moved up to 48!!!
RB to get in front of Pitt?
Yikes afraid to look!
Love what Denver has done this off-season.
Holy crap! Trade!!!
To the people trying to guess the clues
How on earth did any of them relate with Jordyn Brooks yesterday?
The 1917 clip: A guy running side to side behind the trenches, weaving through traffic.
The Toy Story clip: impressive wingspan.
I saw someone mention “Dumb as a stump” as a clue, is that accurate? Because I believe that Brooks scored 10 on the wonderlic
Exactly
I asked that earlier
I lost interest because no one knows how it’s related. No explanation so anyone’s guess
Oh SNAP! Davis or Dobbins? Diggs?
what we give up?
59 & 101
https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1253840245180846080
Seattle coming up for a D-lineman?
Mims? OL? DB?
Brace yourself for Roderigo Blankenship, K Georgia…
What it gonna be?
Seahawks traded up to 48!
Sweet! There is a move. Please be a defensive linemen
Actually I’m very surprised they traded up
#54…Terrell Lewis DE Alabama or Darrell Taylor DE Tennessee.
Their injury history scares me, but if they didn’t have concerns/flags, they wouldn’t be available deep in R2.
Love the Brooks pick. Pass rush wasn’t our only need. We looked slow and were gashed on runs.
Pick is in!
Iwas wrong. They did move up. Make me happy.
We’re on the clock. How are they going to surprise us this time. I am cursing now as a warm-up.
Amazing. Here we go
Pick is in!!!
Terms: Pick No. 48 for No. 59 and 101
Did they give up a steeper price than those moving up in the first???
ugh, seems like a lot
Couldn’t agree MORE!! Like the pick and fit, but he would have been there at 59!
Wooooo!!
F*ck yes!
My guess is Okwara
Very happy with the pick!
Nice pick coming…
I like the pick but why not wait until 59?
It’s pretty simple actually.
They had intel you don’t. They thought someone was going to draft him.
Yes sir!!!!
Not thrilled with this. He has the potential, and might be worth it at 59, but I wouldn’t have moved up for him.
Like the player. But thought he might drop to 59
Going for the potential. I don;t know if I can argue.
We drafted a DE! Praise jesus!
Hell yeah!!!!
Upside pass rusher. Nobody is a sure thing at this point. I love this pick. He’s something to work with at a position of need.
Compares to Junior Galette… interesting
Don’t love it…oh well.
Especially not at the expense of losing our 3rd rounder.
Any dline in this draft besides young is a roll of the dice.
If Darrell Taylor is the roll pcjs like, I’m all for it.
And I didn’t really want Marlon, didn’t fit our defense.
ok not bad Y
Its a start now we need a
Tackle RB receiver
There it is!
We nailed the clues, too.
Finally, filling a need!
We did? Or is this written in the sarcastic font?
YESSSSSS!!!
He’s got Juice!
I am fired the f**k up!
Let’s goooo!!!
Wonder if they trade back 64 now? Paid up on the move up.
I wish I was. I don’t mind the player, but not moving up for him.
I was prepared to hate it when they traded up, but I like it. It makes SENSE, and is one of the few potential pass rush boosts they were going to get. Wonder what they paid to move up, one of the fourths?
It cost pick 101
Woof, that hurts. Trade back incoming from the other 2nd Rd pick.
Well, Taylor seems like a fine pick. Madubuike, Robbins, Davis still there but likely to go soon…at least we FINALLY got an Edge with speed and a high ceiling!
can’t lose their DE guy at this point. If that was their guy, I’m thrilled
YES!!!!!!!!! Love the pick….
Just what the doctor ordered
I like the player and position fit, but we could have very likely gotten him at 59 and what did we give up?
We swapped a second-round pick and gave up our 3rd.
No way of knowing that. I mean sure, maybe they got fleeced by the Jets of all people, but it’s entirely possible that someone else was going to take him.
Sure, DE, but the wrong DE. The guy with no burst and an extensive injury history. We are the reach masters.
Your wrong mark. Go watch some more tape.
No burst?
Go take some time and go watch some more tape.
Disagree. Taylor has juice. Needs to develop more pass rusher moves. We can coach him up.
Three down player. Violent hands. Sets the edge. So much potential.
His hands are always moving as well. He doesn’t get stuck and he looks like he changes height/angles well. If this kid refines his swim or learns a spin move… man oh man
One of the ESPN guys said we were looking to trade back out of the 1st for him. Not sure where that is coming from. So looks like we didnt want to wait any longer. I like it and the way this is playing out there could be a few guys that have been highlighted here at 64 as well. Give me beef…..6’7″ beef at 64
I have a hard time believing it was tackling that caused Delpitt to drop. The vast majority of defensive backs, hell even all defensive players, in the NFL are disgustingly bad at it. It’s a technical skill that teams seemingly never bother training and it comes back to bite them over and over again. Even with the lockdown there’s no reason why you couldn’t get Delpitt working on all kinds of drills with a brother or friend while a coach watches the tape or livestream.
Ok, so how do the dominoes fall now. Taylor fills the DE, but we lose #103.
Not a huge fan of the RBs and WRs available in the fourth round and beyond…
#64- WR (Claypool)
#133- OL (Adeniji)
#144- DT (Agim)
#213- NCB (Reid)
???
DL! I like PCJSs record on tradeups
Is Frank Clark coming out of Michigan a reasonable comparison for Taylor?
A little bit, yeah. I like that comp now that you mention it.
Honestly this is a great pick. I get Frank Clark vibes minus the domestic violence allegations. Just awesome
damn pick 101 gone
They’ll move off 64 like we talked about earlier
Up or down?
Down. Or they’ll move up into the 3rd w/ one of their 4ths.
Ouch. That cost us 101 as well
Trade pick value actually has us coming out 14 points ahead but still feels like we gave up too much.
2.59 + 3.101 = 406 points
2.48 = 420 points
11 spots is a pretty big jump. If we had 110 we probably couldve done that.
Kinda wish they did 133 and a 2021 6th or something
Think of it this way … name a player the Hawks have moved up to get the last few years who didn’t turn out to be good/great.
Exactly. Too many people on here want us to trade back for the hell of it.. It’s clearly a buyer’s market right now. Let’s not get too cute with some of these picks.
No more 3rd round pick. 101 gone in trade
Who cares? He was our “can’t leave the draft without him” guy, I think.
Agree. I’m effing giddy
Seeing JS reaction to making the pick on the broadcast, I’ve got to agree with you. He looked genuinely stoked, like they got their guy all along.
This trade up is totally unnecessary. The next DL team is Buffalo, possibly
For a talented, yet underdeveloped and limited pass rusher with injury concerns, other teams wouldn’t touch before end of 3rd.
Now, watch the Rams pick their LT.
Why is it unnecessary?
Go and get your guys.
Rest of the draft is gravy.
A little bummed we gave up our 3rd, but can’t complain about the pick itself
If we had taken Taylor last night and Brooks today, I think we all would have felt much better lol. Still wish we could have kept that 3rd rounder though
We were talking about potentially taking him in the first just yesterday weren’t we? Can’t be too unhappy about that.
Now if we can somehow get Raekwon at 64…
Hamilton
Yeah, sign me up. I think they’re trading back, though. Not enough picks left.
Yes, keep Hamilton in mind….. or maybe they trade a future 2nd for a current early 3rd round pick…
Wouldn’t be unhappy about that. Or even if they went after Zuniga. As long as they keep attacking the front seven I’ll be pretty content. At least it shows they know what they need. Still got plenty of time to go get Wilson a couple of shiny toys.
I have been chomping at the bit for Raekwon Davis… I have always thought a Calais Campbell type would be what we need. That is what Malik McDowell was suppose to be.
Damn You Pittsburg
DAYUM YOUUUUUU
Something tells me DT is the next pick
I’m guessing DT or WR. Dobbins still available
Yuuuup…I smell what u steppin in!
The Hawks were obviously horny for him and wanted to take no chances that he wasn’t there further down the board. That makes me feel good.
Exactly
I’m horny for him too. Already on hard over here. Full mast
I’m feeling better tonight already. Two aggressive defenders to our squad. How about a DT next? But might trade down now like you suggested before.
I would love a DT.
The Steelers always get stud receivers. God damn factory.
I wo der if they look to go back from 64 to the third?
What would be the advantage?
We gave up 59 and 101 so we’re currently down to 4 picks….love the pick, but overpaid in draft capital…..64 is HUGE now and unless we have Raekwon Davis or Madibuike there, I sure hope we trade back for 80’s, + two more picks.
Or Hamilton
Trade with Denver for 83, 118, and 178?
That could work. Could go 89 and 105 with Minnesota.
What other wide receivers are we rooting for with claypool out? Pretty excited about Taylor!
Mims, Bryan Edwards are two that come to mind right away.
Mims would be fantastic.
Either one. I like Edward’s personally
Bryan Edwards
Absolutely love the Taylor pick. Now the Hawks need to get a defensive tackle.
Would love to see Avril tutor Taylor a little since he is around. They are similar players.
+1
Man, in the clips of Taylor that Rob posted above he looks a LOT like Avril!
PC/JS are gonna be 🔥’d up about him at the presser!
Love the pick! Aggressive to come get one of your guys, just one pick after Davidson comes off. Bendy. Huge upside. Let’s go.
Another guy they could take at 64 is Amik Robertson. Would be a serious Seahawk pick.
Diggs?
Absolutely love that guy. But really think DT is a better choice
Yes please!
Brooks similar to Bobby, Taylor to Clark, and while totally different playstyle and position Amik has a bit Earl Thomas in him with his fire, attitude
I so hope so
Classic John to overpay in a trade. Throwing in a third when
Other teams are moving up with 5th rounders. It wasn’t like they jumped 20 picks. I’m so down right now. They are putting their eggs in a high-risk basket. I’m not pleased but what can I do?
read above: trade value chart says we actually had a 14 point advantage
You have no advantage if you pick player who was bound to last into 3rd.
There is no DL team until #59, apart from Buffalo. And their type of guy is Epenesa.
And ding, ding, here is Buffalo picking Epenesa.
They jumped 11 spots. That a huge jump. Not a 3-4 spot move
I saw 125-121 for points.
Get Clowney in and get Griffin in at DE….. let’s get it done!
if they screwed the stealers by jumping ahead of them, it makes me even happier
we’ll trade down from 64 to get a earlier 3rd and like a 7th
Why so eager to trade back in a buyers market?
Didn’t know Dak’s brothers name was Jace.. such tragic news.
Damn PIT… Claypool has the chance to be a WR similar as Kittle does at TE. Soft hands and crazy pancake blocks. Now if the Hawks pick WR please pick Duvernay or Joe Reed later. I don’t want anyone else
Daaaannggg. I wanted Claypool. He’s going to a great WR team though
Could be Cleveland or Josh Jones as well.
I like Taylor but I hate giving up a 3rd rounder to move up 11 spots in R2.
Please stop commenting “we could have got this guy later” because who knows.
It was pick #101. A fourth rounder in all but name.
Great pick for the Cowboys
I got here just after you posted after the Taylor pick.
The “…” really scared me. Seeing you hesitate… and then be happy with the pick, made me hold my breath. I’ve come to rely on you too much. After list night’s shock, I’ve been experiencing a bit of trepidation. I’m willing to let the experts do their jobs, but waiting 20 hours while second guessing from my armchair (Actually my bed, but an armchair lets me climb onto my high-horse of amateur opinions.) made me more nervous than I realized.
I’m more than mature enough to let the pros do their jobs, and wait for the results. It’s just last night I was hoping that the Seahawks would draft Taylor, but Jonathon Taylor last night. I was bummed.
Thanks for everything, Rob.
Does Seattle go offense next or keep giving Pete his guys?
Dayummmmmm
I’m torn.
I think I grab a DT
I’m thinking another defender but I think they will trade down if they can first
Have to go back to the line again I think, it was a complete disgrace last year. Once more and then go find Wilson something shiny to distract him with.
Where is our native third rd pick? Who did we get for that?
Clowney
Facepalm! Totally drawing a blank thx
Traded for Clowney
I hate the Rams even more now
DArrell TAylor ran a 4.6 40 in high school. I think we can assume he has improved that number in 4 years of strength training at TEnnesse.
So we are lookin guy a 6-4, 270 guy that runs a 4.55 or something like that… Yes please, sign me up!
It’s not even about his speed. I can’t believe how a guy his size can bend the edge so well.
Akers over Dobbins
Great pick for Rams
Need to Help Russell
PLEASE
The defense needs more help than the offense
More possessions set. Starting WR through round 5.
One of Rob’s diamonds gone, and a *bit* earlier than expected.
Ah, shoot. Trade up for Dobbins using a 4th. Now!
Or wait and take Raekwon or Hamilton.
Exactly, I prefer Hamilton
This. Complete the circle of toughness.
Someone called this based on the “Draft Clues” I think. Who was it?
Sea Mode.
I think it was the ‘Derelict’ sign in the Zoolander clip.
We should have traded back, what are they doing? What they heck, who is that guy? Why won’t they be agressive and trade up? They gave up too much for that trade!
– Summary of Seattle draft so far. 2020
Its OK, they want there guys and they do what they have to do to get them. They obviously wanted Taylor bad and didnt want to risk it. I agree they probably could have waited to 59 but they wanted to be sure.
whoa, Hurts to Philly
Whaaat. Hurts to Eagles???
It’s like mini-Jordan-Love
HOLY COW HURTS TO PHILI!!!! DRAMA ALERT
Please don’t tip picks. Thank you.
announced on ESPN so doesnt seem like a tip to me
How much of a delay are you watching?
None of us are posting before it shows up on stream.
I am also on an ESPN stream. But getting my information apparently later than some others.
Just avoiding posting the name of the pic just for the sake of it the very second it gets released could be delayed a little bit just out of courtesy.
DT makes sense, too much sense
CB could be a call for Hall here at 64
True. Hall’s injuries are scary.
On a side note, Jacob Eason is beginning to fall now.
I don’t mind the pick, but there would have been decent pass rush options at 59. I don’t like the trade-up at all. Think we’re going to have to pass on a receiver now as need DT, HB, OT much more.
Buffalo should grab JK Dobbins.
really good call man
Would be great for the mafia.
I’m starting to think the clues were heavily weighted towards a duo.
Book end pass rushers?
Or a defensive tackle?
Go and get big Raekwon or Zuniga.
im thinking DT
😍
DT with pass rush ability…. Hamilton?
I think so too.
I would love either, but man I would dig a Big boy DT. There is still some very good ones available.
Yes! Or Madubuike or Okwara….
100% agree on Raquan or Zuniga
That plan sounds awesome!
Get younger, get physical upside!
Is Okwara still a possibility after taking Taylor?
Yup. Taylor can play SAM too.
Perhaps he CAN, but I highly doubt he will with the need to get Brooks on the field, not to mention the stated intention to return Irvin to that role.
Bruce can tutor Taylor as well. Damn 64 will be interesting if we stay.
Lot’s of complaining we gave up too much to trade up 11 spots. They got great value and got a needed EDGE with tremendous upside! Look at the trade value chart:
NYJ 48
SEA 59 + 101
Trade Totals
NYJ Gives Value: 420
SEA Gives Value: 406
SEA is +14 points
Gain/Loss %
NYJ: -3.33%
SEA: +3.45%
Clearly a buyers market, the value this year is to trade up!
thank you for this Rob, spot on
The other thing is, when have the Jets ever outsmarted anyone? Sometimes you just have to pay a price.
It’s fair value. Just not sure it was necessary.
However, this can be looked at from a different perspective than just pure points and percentages
It’s getting into the top 50. Gonna cost you.
But who cares: we got our guy. We got some pass rush with huge upside.
100%
This with Clowney and Griffin and I would be thrilled beyond belief
Akers over Dobbins….Gross he went to Rams! Sighs a nice get for Dallas, he looks pretty badass…I hate Dallas!
Philly takes Hurts…making up for not getting Russ lol?!
Shaping up like the 2012 draft! Getting panned about our first pick, pass rush DE and MLB first two picks, now time to get the next Russell Wilson with our third round pick!
Good
Keep taking fools the Seahawks don’t want off the board!
Lol. Epenesa is such a prototypical Bills D-lineman.
Right? Lol I like it for them at 54. He can help them out.
I like it too. I like Epenesa.
Hunch: Josh Jones.
I’d love it! Jones has been one of my favorite OTs since the beginning. Didn’t tall about him much cause his stock was all over the place and hes not necessarily ‘sexy’ but he would be a solid pick. I thought so at 35.
Could be. Cleveland still there to but I like Jones better.
Ezra Cleveland still there too
Tunafish are killing the draft imo
of course, you better with 5 picks in 2 rounds
If we stay where we are, with only a decent amount of luck we’re going to get somebody good.
We will but we wont select again until 133 basically two full rounds.
Which is most unlike this team.
Funny how they ended up turning a lot of cap space into not a lot of added quality on the roster and now they’re down to six picks.
Abhorrence for Lawrence?
They can use one of those 4ths to move up into the 3rd.
With the way these picks are falling, a lot of potential targets are still on the board. With only 9 more picks before they are up again, Seattle may be able to trade down a few spots and STILL get their guy, if their guy is one that we have been discussing.
I made some videos anticipating a handful of picks.
Darrell Taylor was one.
Check it out: https://twitter.com/robstaton/status/1253843553991757829
Excited about the pick, Rob? I am. Am I wrong?
Man he can stick his foot in the ground and turn the corner with power!
High upside for sure, just inconsistent. Why he is available at 48.
like seeing that 18.6% win pct
Looks great. He has a quick get off. I am excited about this so far.
you make beats too, Rob?
Love his bend.
What’s going on with the fall for Denzel Mims? I loved his tape and would have been top 5 WR for me.
Well at least I got one player right on my 12 player entry.
You are kicking my ass. Once again I prove I don’t have a clue! Lol
Miami added bookend OTs and another OT who will also be a stud OG. Added bookend CBs. And got possibly the top QB in the draft. They still have like a bajillion picks
That Black Panther clue yesterday about the Jabari Tribe: Zuniga!
Would be nice
Cleveland, Madubuike, Josh Jones, Okwara, Zuniga, Mims, Edwards, Robertson?
Seems like Mims, Jones, Cleveland falling for some reason
Damn. One of my mouth-waterers gone.
Well this is Ingram’s 10th season
Ah, man….no more backs left! I’m not a fan of Moss….
Preferences for the next bit? Mine either 1-Hamilton, 2-Zuniga
Trade Zuniga for Okwara and I’m with you.
Baltimore killing it with Queens and Dobbins.
If I wasnt a Seahawks fan i would be a Ravens fan. Love the way they do things.
Roger Goodell is quite the hype man.
Haven’t seen, but is he wearing a big clock around his neck?
Becoming a sneaky good draft by the Seahawks.
Shame we don’t have a few more picks here.
reply fail or reply flavor flav
Zuniga is a sparq’ed up fool
Charlie was right. The ‘Phins are killing it.
damned dolphins
Went downhill fast with Dobbins and Davis gone. Ouch.
These last two picks have been brutal
Dammit! Raekwon.
Dadgum! Dolphins doing work!
What’s up with Zack baun? Did that diluted test
Make him a day 3 pick.
Miami screws us again 1st in trade with Packers and now Davis
Daaaamn Daniel…
Another target gone
DAMMIT man… I hate Miami for 2 picks tonight. Greedy bastards
NOOOOOOO! the chef
Screw it…blow your whole load on Defense. Just get the meanest MFers you can find. Zuniga would be great at 64.
To be fair, they need all help they can get at all levels
I’m just saying – fix the defense. No more soft and slow people. Get big, mean, and fast. Don’t care where it’s at anymore. I want to intimidate people again.
Didn’t someone say a clue was Zoolander?
Blue Steele: Cleveland (Smurf turf) or Okwara (Big Blue)?
Ooohhh. Those are good guesses.
I’d be so stoked for Cleveland.
It’s blue steel or ‘Steal’ as in trade back with the panthers.
Man, Dolphin fans must be having a hell of a time right now. The fun might not carryover into the regular season, but what a fun draft for them
Even if Tua doesnt start right away, they were playing quite well towards the end of the year. I think they’re already at 8-8 if they play like that and with these additions in FA and draft. Still a lot more to come too.
Dolphins gonna be most improved team for sure
Hunt might be their best pick. Questions with the rest.
Miami…NOOOOOOO!!!!
Sweet. Davis is off the board.
You were waiting for this moment. LOL
Did Raekwon run over this dude’s dog?
LOL He’s been a hater. All in fun…
Wonder what the story is on Ezra Cleveland, Josh Jones and Denzel Mims lasting this long.
Plus Willie Gay and Josh Uche were being touted to go quite early today.
Mims’ testing didn’t match the tape IMO, and he’s coming from an offense that badically runs HS level routes and concepts.
Would be an easy transition to our passing O then!
Having said that, he has freakish upside and is such a physical specimen. Would make a very good 3rd or 4th wideout as he learns a route tree.
There was some talk of Cleveland and Jones in round 1, even Mims late rd 1. And Uche was supposed to be long gone by now…
Especially suprised with Mims I was sure he climbed up those draftboards over the last weeks.
He ticks every box physically from his testing and showed game readiness in the pro bowl.
I just get the feeling that the combine was really irrelevant this year. We just took 2 guys that didn’t test, the OLine ranking seemed to not be impacted by it much and now Mims is falling behind guys like Van Jefferson.
Wow, totally forgot Uche was still on the board.
Denzel Mims is one on my mind . Goodbye David Moore was my thought you think they get him as the last talent of this WR class ?
Mims, still on the board… intriquing
This draft is going to change the fortunes of the Miami Dolphins! They will be a playoff team within a year if they get decent QB play…Tua needs to be healthy and this team is set up for success for a long time! And I ink Flores is going to be a really good coach in the NFL…
I’m impressed. They are a team to follow – and Tampa Bay. A resurgence of power in Florida.
OT to Rams likely
cleveland?
Jones or Cleveland for everyone?
Zuniga or Okwara?
Yeah one of those 4, but we know it’ll be a trade down or someone off the radar
Or Justin Madubuike
Love Van Jefferson. Great hands
Me too.
Davis was the first pick that really “stung” for me
kingsbury and mcvay live together?
Shhhhh! Don’t judge them
division rivals
…..and division lovers
Grow up.
If I had drafted for Miami I would be kicking ass
I’d go Hamilton or trade back if possible
There goes my WR pick for the Hawks. Man I hate the Rams.
Ezra Cleveland is to me what Raekwon Davis is to Kingdome
Hook Darrell Taylor with Cliff Avril. Cliff will get Taylor’s technique right
BINGO.
Taylor is a perfect pick.
Great pick for Minnesota man. They’ve had a great draft.
They have killed it along with the Dolphins.
Love the pick of Taylor. If he can stay healthy he will be one of the steals of the draft. Bummed out about Claypool but happy for him going to the Steelers where they know how to develop revivers.
Still some amazing options at the end of Rd#2 would love to see Mimms, Hamilton, Uche or Zuniga
I know the clue! Part of it at least.
Last year Seattle drafted a WR with the last pick of the 2nd round. This year they’ll do the same (“duos”).
Hmmmmm….🤔
Maybe Edwards?
I’m thinking it’ll be another highly athletic receiver from a southern school: Denzel Mims.
Welp…
I guessed Zuniga.
Duos could be two defensive ends as well.
Are the Jets moving back again?
Just realized Uche is still available… Hope he is the “bookend” to the due of Darrell Taylor… Then again, I doubt it, because how would John and Pete know he’d be available still at 64?!?!
Let Russ Cook!
I’m thinking it’ll be another highly athletic receiver from a southern school: Denzel Mims.
It is so relieving to see a player you really don’t want come off the board.
How did KC get 63? Didn’t we have their 2nd or did they have multiple 2’s?
I think it was for Dee Ford to the 9ers
mustve traded with frisco
They have SF’s pick from Dee Ford trade.
Dee Ford
As weird as it looks to type this out, I don’t think SEA is going to volume draft this year. They’re going to draft a few guys they really want that they think can contribute right away. Then, they’ll sign a ton of UDFA and let those who prove themselves make it. It’s going to be a weird offseason anyway and likely be more beneficial to have veterans and quick learners. Training camp (if it ever starts) is going to be a shark tank.
Okay, as Rob notes above the top 5 RB’s are off the board. So which RB that is left do you want to see them draft? You know they are going to take one late…
My pick is:
Rico Dowdle, RB, South Carolina
I think they will trade back into the 7th like last year to take him!
Yeah. He’s got the measurables for sure.
My guess is James Robinson
Antonio Gibson for me, use him on 3rd down to keep the others fresh, can play him at WR too.
Uche is strong enough to play LEO…hmmm. I think I would kind of love a Taylor-Uche duo as the edge.
Uche is absurdly strong for his size – wouldn’t shock me.
Look at all those receivers!
Mims, Duvernay, Gibson (more of a gadget guy), Edwards, Lynn Bowden. Damn.
There goes Mims. Jets needed a wideout.
I’d have to take a ‘bathroom break’ if we draft Edwards
Really? Why?
I love him haha
Ohhh. Usually a bathroom or piss break is for something you don’t care for. At least in wrestling lingo.
I’ll be joining you
The telecast keep tipping picks.
I’m thinking we go DE again. Uche, Okwara, Zuniga, Weaver. Anyone else?
Good thing the Rams just spoiled their draft by not taking Ezra C.
As a rule… if you have an elder LT and one of the worst OLs, and there is a very good player to pick up for nuts, you just have to draft.
McVay is obsessed with pointy attackers…
64: Bryan Edwards?
im still going with DT
Yep
I wonder what the story with Mims was, but I didn’t really care for him.
I don’t know, he reminds me of DK Metcalfe
NE moving up to get Edwards?
Packers gotta get a WR too. Or at least I thought.
Down to maybe Okwara, Jones, Zuniga, Edward’s, Robertson maybe?
Madabuike as well.
Hamilton?
Fotu, Hamilton, Rashad Laarence, maybe a receiver.
I know they don’t go corner early, but Kristian Fulton is there too.
Holy crap Fulton would be a STEAL
No thanks of Lawrence. Yes to Hamilton.
Hamilton a big omission.
Patriots……. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wow! NE just keeps playing chess.
I think that will end up being the steal of draft for Jets getting Mimms.
Depends who’s throwing to him…
They already have made good on the trade and still have our 101. Sigh
Uche joining Winovich as Michigan boys to NE.
If Schneider does not trade trade pick 64 then either DT or RB.
Hunter Bryant a dark horse.
It wouldn’t kill me if they traded back. And I’d be okay if they went D again.
Agreed on both counts.
I think they take Zuniga.
I want them to trade back. 🙏
Agree, but prefer they trade back.
DAMN. Wanted Uche…
Couldn’t do that after Taylor.
Ferkin Patriots – hard not to admire their drafting.
Miami shows it’s good to have 5 picks in the first two rounds.
Ack. Hate when players I like end up on teams I don’t. Ayiuk to SF, Claypool to Pitt and Duggar/Uche to NE.
So many good players still available. Wish we had an extra third.
Right? This years 2nd & 3rd were loaded. A little unusual.
Yup. That’s all I got.
Extra draft picks are hard to find now
Is it bad of me that I seem to understand every other teams drafts better than the one team I follow?
Wish we had any third at this point.
Would two 4s get it done?
Hope Zuniga or Hamilton
1000%
Zuniga would be awesome.
Do we see Taylor as a LEO? Would that make Zuniga a more likely as a pure Edge? If Taylor’s a LEO, does that take Okwara off the board for us?
Taylor to me is just like Avril, so yes LEO for me.
New England killing round 2. But who is the qb of the future there.
i can see eason
Who knows. I kind of think NE is going to roll with what they got and see what options fall to them either in draft or after. Cam Newton is still there to be had.
Tennessee is on the clock. Will they take a DE/Edge Rusher?
I think Van Jefferson’s upside is just what the pundits say: son of a former pro and is polished in football play and character….just knows how to play. Speaking of polished and relatively untouted, I like Tyler Johnson of Minnesota..best quote I liked was, knows how to work back to the QB….a RW requirement!
Love this. We got some swagger back on D fellas.
Jordyn Brooks watch first 10 seconds https://youtu.be/7_vcSX6fxx4
Darrell Taylor http://twitter.com/VolBlood/status/1253841943257329671
I’m going to rage if they pick a RB at 64
no one left. likely DT or DE
They met with Moss
You would think Moss might be more 133
Josh Jones still on the board…
Did the Chiefs move in front of us at 63 or am I bleary eyed as its 2am?
Think they have SF pick (from Dee Ford) and Seahawks have Chiefs pick from Clark.
naw traded with frisco (dee ford someone said)
They got the Whiners 2nd rounder didn’t they? Dont mind me.
No, that’s the pick they got from SF
Do they go DL again? I’d be fine with that.
But what if they get weird and add Chinn? Sign Griffen and a vet DT to fill out the DL for this season. Offense is fine.
What player might get a team to trade into 64?
Could be anyone. Maybe Eason?
Thank you for the astute reply! Certainly possible.
Random thought but, Jacob Eason? Jake Fromm?
Appreciate your thoughts. Fromm also a possibility.
Love this. We got some swagger back on D fellas.
Jordyn Brooks watch first 10 seconds https://youtu.be/7_vcSX6fxx4
Darrell Taylor http://twitter.com/VolBlood/status/1253841943257329671
Another tragic backstory. 🤦♂️
That one was pretty fresh.
I am just hoping for more d line.
Looking at who is left they are going to trade down or double down on the defensive line. So many good options still available: Zuniga/okwara/weaver at end and Hamilton/madubuike/fotu at dt
Forgot about Weaver. Was he the ‘blue steel’ clue?
Could be! Also Gators (Zuniga) and Irish (okwara) both wear blue
Jeremy Chinn is still there too.
I was hoping Tennessee would take pass rush. They would be less likely go after Clowney.
I’m thinking O-Line, like Cushenberry.
What about Jones?
Love AJ Dillon. In round 2 though? Ehhhh.
Agreed that is rich
Not sure Why you take Dillon when you have Aaron Jones.
Green Bay are going to be 60/40 run pass aren’t they?
I would have been happy with him at 64.
Bummed, outrageous explosiveness at 250 lbs.
Love seeing DaVon Hamilton still there. He was a Senior Bowl stud.
Bingo
argh, AJ
early for dillon?
Yeah
Greenbay is having a pretty underwhelming draft.
Good! Let A-Rod wither away
GB soooo needed a WR, they trade up to 26 and grabe Erin’s replacement. Wasn’t Riders drafteed at 26 just after a coaching change to back-up Farve? Must just be killing Rodgers.
I’m calling Lucas Niang here
For sure they are going to trade down. JS is itching not trading down for more picks.
KC gonna take another stud? Chinn?
Josh Jones, Okwara or Zuniga pls
I’m guessing a DT though
Nice trade down.
Come on man. Don’t tip.
Sorry man, I am following along the nfl website. I didn’t know that was out of sync with the broadcast. I thought the tips were on twitter. Genuine mistake on my part and I feel bad.
All good, bro
They haven’t even announced KC’s pick on my stream yet, man.
Sorry man, didn’t know it was out of synch. Won’t do it again.
No worries. It happens. Wasn’t malicious.
Hawks trade pick for picks 69 and 148.
thanks. no surprise
Nice
Thanks for the spoil, Bobby.
Pete’s gonna want to fix the D. Any team with 2 3rd rounders that would trade up?
Raiders have 3:16, 3:17 and 3:27
BAUN
Willie Gay Jr. Wouldve been nice here if we didnt pick Brooks
Agreed
Is Gay better than Brooks? Honest question, Gay looked good on the highlights
I was never impressed by his tape. Didn’t see the hype.
looks like we are sticking with the pick. It will be the last pick for us tonight unless we trade into the back end of the third round.
never mind…
trade to Carolina
Gay for KC
Great pick! I like KC man
KC’s pick is in… What we doing? Picking or trading?
Traded the pick to Carolina
Decent draft for KC considering they’re SB champs.
concur 100%
The luxury you have as the champ. You can take a shot that others are not willing to risk.
If you tip picks I will find you, and I will kill you.
Joe Burrow to Cincinatti.
I will help dispose of body
KC used to problem children. could well be a helluva value for them
Looking for a 5th round pick love trade!
Might get 69 and 152 from Carolina?
69 and 148 from what I can see.
I was hoping 113
Looks like 148 as Carolina has 148 and 152.
Knew it what did we get?
Early R5- 148
69, 148
so we’ve now got one in every round except 7, right?
Man. The Chiefs are killing it. First CEH. Then Willie Gay Jr.
I do not think people were trying to. NFL.com showed the trade like 5 minutes before it showed up on my TV.
So we could have taken Isaiah Wilson at 27 and still gotten Gay or Logan Wilson at 64. Wow.
Gay a huge character question mark though. When culture is such a huge part of your program, I could easily see Gay not being on their draft board at all.
True, and he’s pretty raw as well, which is the opposite of what they said they’re after this year.
But the athleticism is on Isaiah Simmons’ level.
To your point, could be a trap many fall into this year. Fall in love with athleticism, have relatively no time to develop them prior to the season.
Just for future reference, it appears the picks on nfl.com are synced with the broadcast. I didn’t find out about who KC drafted until people on the blog did, at least Big Mike. But the trades are “tipped” (I am not certain what this even means). Just for people who are just looking at the website and not the broadcast. If I am incorrect about this, someone please let me know.
im just watching ESPN my friend
People on twitter following “experts” and “reporting picks as if they are breaking news. People here just want to experience the draft.
Cool, not on twitter but now I know how to deal with the website.
ESPN is on point!
The Chiefs have been just killing it the last couple of off seasons. Another great draft for them.
Them and the Ravens. The rich getting richer.
Only dropped a few spots and got a free 5th rounder, 2nd pick I think
5.2 for moving back 6 spots. I like that!
So with Davon Hamilton, Zuniga and Okwara still on the board the Hawks trade back.
OK…
only 5 picks down and there’s also Josh Jones, Niang, Cushenberry, Prince Tega,
#69. Nice.
love it
Nice
I think Lockett went 69 right?
Indeed.
The duo clue wasn’t a team was it?
Jajuan Jennings, WR, Tennessee . Probably too slow but gritty AF.
Nah.
Got to be a pair of DL.
I’m leaning that way too. Although something in the back of my mind says offense. Hopr it’s wrong.
Carolina gonna be trouble.
D Brown, Gross-Matos and Chinn. Young, hungry D.
And Brian Burns
With that trade down, I’m really late for cooking dinner.
i brought chicken home from the store so i didn’t have to cook. wife cooked last night cuz she knew how much watching this meant to me
Smarter than I tonight. LOL
I did Ramen noodles if it makes you feel any better…
You da man, Sea Mode. A real hippie. 🙂
Who’d Carolina take?
Chinn
Damn. Matt Rhule building himself quite the defensive unit.
really surprised at a lot of the dline guys left on the board
Now watch all of JC’s favorites disappear in the next 4 picks
I’d trade back again if I could. Wouldn’t be surprised.
Drafting in Carroll/Schneider era hasn’t been the same since Scot McCloughan left. Need to Hire Rob.
I wonder if we look to trade back again into the mid 80’s and pick up another later pick. Not sure what the value would equate too?
How about sliding back from 69 with Raiders
69 (245) in exchange from 80 (190) + 121 (52) + 2021 6th
Jets for 79 and 120
Okay, don’t really care about him. Maybe they do trade back again. No surprise if they do.
From 69 to 80 would be something in the late 120’s or early 130’s.
Detroit should pick up Josh Jones. Leave Seattle the DL/DE picks they can choose from.
dont wanna trade back any further myself. want another d line guy,
agree. we filled the gap in R5 and still have 2 R4. let’s take our guy. Zuniga, Hamilton, Okwara: take your pick.
Prince Tega still out there too though…
Zuniga, Madubuike, Hamilton still available…
Again good value with the trade, let’s see who they take!
Sea 64 for
CAR 69 + 148
Trade Totals
SEA Gives Value: 270
CAR Gives Value: 277.2
Gain/Loss %
SEA: +2.67%
CAR: -2.6%
Some quality DT prospects available. Right time to grab one.
JK Dobbins still available I believe as well, which is shocking.
Dobbins gone.
Dobbins went at 55
Could Devon Hamilton be the pick?
be a feather in rob’s hat if it is. he sold me
If Seattle can trade down another 10-15 spots and pick up a late 4th/early 5th, I’d be happy with Hamilton.
Okay…how about we get a DT or that WR from SC that Rob drew my attention to.
Wait, JK is still on the board? Did Rob miss that in his “big five”
He went to Baltimore
got it
my mistake, Ravens took him #23 2nd round
Was outside having a smoke. Who did Cincy take?
Logan Wilson
Davon Hamilton, Zuniga Or maybe Jones?
Moss 😉
Props to Vol12, he called that we would trade back way before it happened.
On 64 specifically that is
Gibson gonna help Haskins ID defenses
So far this third round has been a tad painful.
Kj Wright repping on Family Feud!
Josh Jones, Zach Moss, Davon Hamilton, and Justin Madubuike still on the board.
Is EDGE/DE-Jonathan Greenard a possibility?
I like that one after Taylor
What about Prince Tega?
Could have been the Black Panther clue too… 😬
Dope.
I like Josh Jones too. Versatile.
Personally speaking, I was never that big on Okwara.
That’s awesome he gets to join his brother though. Don’t see it too often.
Okwaras bro plays/played for Lions too…
Unfortunately Jets need edge rusher too
Wow, imagine getting drafted to play with your brother in the NFL.
Ha nice
Who’s that?
Okwara
Romeo and Julian
Paul Cook. Brock Huard was not a big fan of Okwara either.
He wreaked average to me.
We are on the clock! So many options.
OKAY! There are DT’s available here..,
Solid trade for the Hawks! Only they only moved back a few spots to acquire a 4th!,
Zack Baun
I am ready to be surprised.
I liked Ashtyn Davis.
I guess Bryan Edwards
DT
Pick is in!
ok good OL
Wow. Seems early but we know how PCJS work.
Damn good pick. Something told me offense. Mauler
Rob should be happy w/ that one
Pick IN!
Head slap
didnt rob tip us as this guy being possible?
Hell yeah!!!
This is the first pick that I hate.
Totally! All I see is everyone praising it and Rob. Sure, great OL, but during Covid-19 and all the NFL experienced lineman in free agency, I see a need for more front seven. I will say, like the pick if we had more picks available. Volume between 50-140 is key.
Another interior lineman. I love the player but very surprising
Lewis! I think you called that Rob, thanks for highlighting him!
yeah i asked the same above. i think he did
Not a sexy pick, but very efficient.
Off to cook dinner now.
Name checks out. 😜
LOL
Lolololol
Do we keep 9 guards this year?
Underrated
ROB’S INTERVIEW!!!!
Damien Lewis… not bad
Love Lewis but really when they signed like 30 OL and still haven’t drafted a defensive tackle… Just dont understand this team
Mone gonna pop in 2020 bro!
I like the player, but again, I don’t like where they took him and honestly, with a roster already LOADED with interior OL, is this the best use of draft capital? Between the OL and DL, which position group needs more players? I rest my case.
It’s not just about volume. It’s about talent, too. Lewis will be better than any guard on our team, I’ll bet.
I agree he’s probably going to be better than the journeymen OLers they signed this offseason. But how does adding another OG make the team better when the DL remains a leaky sieve?
Once again draft is not over. Free agency is not over.
Had we not signed 47 OG projects and backups, and waited for after the draft to sign em like any other team, we could have been a lot more excited about this pick. Heck, that cap space might’ve helped sign a certain player we’ve talked about all freaking offseason..
Good player, but now it seems like we are lighting money on fire for “competition”, just not at the place we need more competition.
Mike, totally agree! Draft heavy in the front seven and compete! Whatever shakes out is fine with me!
Place that bet!
now how do we get some speed receiver …..Cephus 5th?
The bottom line is that they just didn’t value WR in this draft despite the plethora of talent i that department.
This Dorsett guy is pretty fast. Don’t think we absolutely need to aim for speed but there are still some fast WR left for us to take in the 4th!
Sigh…19 Olinemen…maybe we field an average (top 20) line this year?!
that is a classic Hawks G body type right there . . .
He’s smart, tough, reliable. Gritty. Pushes dudes around in the run game. What’s not to like?
Has that backstory too.
I’m not anti . . .
He pushed college dudes around…time will tell but out need is not OL
You had better come to compete if you want to be on Seattle’s O-line this year.
Well, we’ve cornered the market on guards. We have about 40 on the roster now.
So can we cut some of those 50 journeyman OL we signed in FA?
Exactly what i was fricken thinking.
No, he’s gonna jump in a compete and try to make the team….stupid pick!
Heck I was wondering if we could trade and get something in return.
You rock Rob!!!
Best OL at senior bowl
I love the pick. I was the guy who looked up Damien Lewis after I misunderstood what Rob has said about Robert Hunt from Louisiana. Rob even interviewed the guy. Super excited!
Snacks Harrison and Brandon Mebane looking for work. Maybe a veteran signing instead?
Reply fail. Apologies.
Looking more like that for sure!
Keep raiding LSU: Rashard Lawrence
I’m holding out hope that we end up trading up for one of the good remaining DTs…
Would love that but what do we have to use as trade capital?
2 4ths, a 5th and a 6th lol
Freaking hate the Lewis pick….like this one random OL draft pick will somehow improve our running game and protect RW. OL usually takes time to develop and we need ‘D’ front seven or more importantly, front four to keep the linebackers clean and speed on the edge. Just another OL to compete with the other 12 lineman…Good grief! Madibuike, Davon Hamilton???? Push the center of the pocket to allow the edge to get home….F#%%$##
Guards need way less time to step in and contribute than an offensive tackle.
I will grant you that for sure, but we need front 4 to 7 much more! Offense was 8th in the league with shit OL….we shall see….and as I type, there goes Madibuike! F…..
We have many more picks. And free agency is not over. Calm down. Let it play out.
Love your perspective Rashi, but we don’t have many more picks; we have 4. I do believe however, that there will be a plethora of UDFA and we are the best in farming that market. But seriously, my take is we are compiling all these OL due to the current Covid circumstances and unknown training camp scenarios and NFL experience trumps rookie OL. Defense is not only a need, but you can plug and play there more than any other position on both sides of the ball….and there is talent everywhere 40-150 so compile many picks as tightly together as possible. Too late, but never panic for me, I actually think LJ is going to step up big this year and Rasheem in year 3 is really going to show out. I certainly would have chosen Queen over Brooks for his 1.51 split and zone drop ability but cool with that still.
Was bound to go 5th round, we snap him at #69.
Are the Seahawks really that detached from league reality, that they actually really think, this massive reach is a good pick?
I’m sure you, rando in a comments section, have a better feel for the league than PCJS. Why won’t they turn to the real experts, people in comments sections?!?!
Good night my fellow hawk fans. Another day…
A bit surprising since Seattle had some nice DT prospects available
Mone gonna pop in 2020 bro!
Damien Lewis!!! Hell Yeah!!!
I’d rather have too many OL than too little. Great pick! Great day for us. Wish we still had another pick though 😭
Thought he was excellent in Homeland
With Haynes, Jones and Lewis we should be set with 3 good young Guards going forward.
Is he better than Rees Odiambo?
He’s a good player, but he is the 12th guard on our current roster. 12!
But nowhere near their 12th best guard. #2 or 3?
Most of those guys are just bodies.
But if you want bodies bring in UDFAs. What is the point of spending the cap on all those guards when you’re going to draft one early round three?
Competition. Hedge for the draft.
We don’t need competition at OL, we NEED competition on DL
Then why waste cap space on them, cap space we needed for pass rush.
YAAASSSSS!!!! A road grader!! Carson and Penny will have some nice running lanes.
You mean the hobbling injury lanes that will lead them to their final doom (Isaiah Simmons, Terrell Lewis, or Javon Kinlaw). Can’t believe we didn’t grab a RB yet when Moss was available.
Worst Seahawks draft ever
Just guessing but I assume you’ve never heard of Owen Gill?
LOL for me too
Owen Gill was a GOD compared to Dan McGuire (actually they were both brutal). We need a Rufus Porter and Joe Nash!
Lol
This one is gonna give 2013 draft a run for its money. Watch week 7 when both Penny and Carson are back on the IR and we’re regretting why we passed on all these great backs. Russell should have never asked for anything, Superstars?…yeah ok
LT Jones and versatile Cushenberry there. So many Guards
I don’t want any OL at all, but definitely would have taken Cushenberry ahead of him!
I like pick. I am surprised we didnt take one of the DL guys that are good value at that pick. I wonder if they believe in Christmas more than some might think or they like the value later on now that some are still there past what people thought. Anyways, personally, Im happy with the 3 guys thus far looking into the next decade.
Seriously doubt they have a lot of hopes pinned on Christmas. They better have a different plan
I feel a lot better after the Taylor and Lewis picks. No way Hamilton makes it out of this round, but I have a small glimmer of hope that teams will continue to forget Bryan Edwards exists.
62 picks until ours, better just start looking at 5th rounders
We could still trade up for Hamilton.
Ok, but trade up with what? We are thin and volume for me is KEY in the middle rounds!
Jones and Cush are falling for a reason
kinda like Orlando Brown jr
Short stumpy but powerful. Chance Warmack, Nick Harris vibes. Will move people in the run game, which is good. Not a pass blocker especially against quicker dts, but can hold up against a Bull Rush. Solari obviously loved him.
What really stumps me is why they even bothered bringing in so many guards, when they’ll have to cut most of them.
Anyone who doesn’t like the Damien Lewis pick — what’s wrong with you?
Great person. Great player.
I can get stuffed then. I like Damien Lewis, but I don’t see how our offseason moves set us up for drafting a guard this early.
Competes to replace Fluker next year?
Now
This. Clowney $
I liked his interview with you. Seems like a really good kid and solid player
Ever seen Finney or Warmack play?
Absolute great player, just didnt think they would go straight guard early after signing a million of them.
Agreed. Like his run blocking. Will he hold up against Donald? In that case probably not, but also can’t be worse than Fluker.
There is not a single OL in the draft that can hold up against Donald.
Nobody can hold up against Donald.
Lol I just commented below. I’m relieved beast of a man and character!
Awesome, a road grader with character to take our 8th rated offense to 5th while he holds his helmet watching the D get torched!
A LT with Josh Jones’ potential in the 3rd seems rare
Too damn early.
Pauline had him borderline draftable at #256, saw him ranked no better than #116.
He’s a top-50 talent in this draft.
I don’t care what anyone else says.
would you have picked him over Josh Jones, Zuniga, Hamilton, Hennessy or Cushenberry?
not sure why the spaces between words happened lol
We just like avoiding are biggest needs to draft a position that’s the most loaded on the team. Why did we waste so much money on gaurds in the off-season.
Nothing, what’s wrong with you? Great person, great player who will compete for a spot in the rotation. We stockpiled OL good/bad/average but all with NFL experience and with this limited preseason and training camp, that was a good decision. Compiling as many picks as possible in the middle rounds and meeting the “compete” mantra in the front 4/7 for me would have been much more important. I’m sure Lewis is a great OL with great character, but not anywhere near the need as collapsing the pocket with Mudabuike and Hamilton still on the board…Greenard, Zuniga, Malik Harrison. Love your blog and opinion, but OL is not the need at this time unless trading back (which seems more difficult with this version of the virtual draft) can acquire 9-11 picks and then I was on board with McKivitz and others but NOT with 6 picks.
They got a top-50 player twenty picks later. It’s fine. He’s far better than some of those other players.
Top 50 player 20 picks later is like many of the players in the draft Rob; speculation. We need defense and Madibuike was in the same “top 50 20 later” category. Bottom line, if Lewis works out well and 2 or 3 others pan out on either side of the ball and the Seahawks find, as they always do, a few UDFA, we hit on 4-6 total, we’re good.
I cant believe how much the Ravens are killing it.
Ok I can take a breath. I concur, Rob Lewis is a stud! Great dude, loved your interview with him.
Josh Jones doesn’t do much for me. I’d rather take Adeniji or Alex Taylor later
Lewis gonna man up Kinlaw. Yes!!!
Love Lewis. Probably my second favorite OG in this draft.
Huge dude and love how he finishes blocks. And not only he’s strong but he also moves well. Check out the senior bowl when he blocked beside his teammate Cushenberry. He climbs to the second level too!
He might redshirt 2020 behind Fluker, but he’ll be 2021 starter for sure.
Day2 was much better. Tbh I’d trade 2021 R1 for a 3rd and 4th right now.
Madubuike, Hamilton, Hall, Robertson, Duvernay, Moss, Zuniga, and a ton more guys still in we could use.
If we have a chance our day3 picks will be Joe Reed, Moss, Fotu
How can the Hawks get back into the 3rd round and get Hamilton at DT.
With a time machine that will take them back to yesterday
EXACTLY!!
Dreaming
Was just contemplating this.
I’d like to see them come up and get Hamilton or Duvernay. I think they may not take a tackle. Someone mentioned a big Tackle for a small school last week. New ish to football. Essentially the next George Fant. Can’t remember the name. I bet he is an early UDFA call.
The draft is a crap shoot with some knowledge to support decisions so volume is always key IMO. So why not trade up twice and draft 4 picks every year? Please!
Did we really use our third to get Taylor? Dang..
Taylor the only upside, explosive, LEO out there. Okwara is just not a three down player. A worthwhile risk.
I think they’re done tonight. Can’t package two late 4’s for a 3rd unfortunately.
Love the picks tonight. Wish they had one more with the depth left.
Theme? Mature, development, high ceiling guys. Like the speed on D.
Haynes, Finney, Lewis going forward? Cut Britt and Fluker: Cap savings to re-sign Clowney?
Listening to Darrell Taylor conference call:
https://www.facebook.com/Seahawks/videos/3393091210723598/
I don’t get the apprehension either. Played in the most physical conference in CFB. He fits perfectly in the NFCW and for a team that wants the ball. He’s an a** kicker. Smashmouth.
* run the ball
+1
If they can’t get Hamilton maybe we can get Fotu. Either would be nice fits. Obviously i prefer Hamilton though
Benito Jones may do the trick.
Could probably get him round 5
he’s gone
Yep Hamilton is. Thats why i was hoping him with our las pick. Hopefully Fotu lasts
I’m just glad we got Taylor. Now let’s go get Clowney
Wish they had a couple of picks left today.
The DT’s and DE’s are still around.
Yup… I don’t wanna watch knowing we don’t have picks, but also have nothing else to watch. lol
Watching some tape on Taylor and WOW, is his get off and bend impressive! That’s the juice off the edge we sorely needed last year. Man, Clowney on one side and him on another, just need Reed to get back to 2018 vibes to push the pocket and the pass rush starting to look a lot better, then sprinkle in some Bruce and Mayowa as rotational guys. It’ll be good to have those 2 guys so Taylor doesn’t have to play 3 days right away.
And didn’t think Zuniga would last this long, would be a great pair to go w/ Taylor.
And he’s 267 lbs? With that kind of twitch/bend?!
He has inconsistent tape, but when he’s good, he looks like a pro DE. His get-off is weirdly inconsistent–sometimes right on it, sometimes the slowest on the line. I do love the way he can bend and flatten, though. That is elite stuff, when he’s on it.
Fluker getting cut for room to sign clowney or Griffen?
Cutting fluke would be a good move honestly
DAYUMMMMM
There you go. Darrell Taylor’s dad was incarcerated when Darrell was young. Adversity: check.
Darrell has a 1 year old son. Turns 2 in July. Is already a dad: check.
They eat that s**t up.
I always say it, but football is all about how you respond to adversity. If you’be already overcome or dealt with it in life, a game is small time.
* you’ve
His dad was incarcerated when he was in 8th grade.
His mom passed away when he was a sophomore in HS (2013).
Dang.
Rib, the Damien Lewis pick makes me appreciate you and this site so much. I’m watching tv and every time Seattle picks they just go quiet and move on. It demonstrates a lack of preparedness on their part. They have packages on certain players but can’t provide at least basic commentary or footage on some really good prospects. Without your interviews and write ups I’d be losing it (ala the rest of the Seahawks social media fan base), instead I’m re listening to the Lewis interview and watching the Taylor highlights you posted. This place is the best!
Rob not Rib but everyone knew that
Now I’m hungry. Anyone deliver ribs around here?
Hamilton gone. Ouch.
Couple LSU guys Seattle may look at Charles and Lawrence. Pete loves Coach O and his input means lots to PC
I’d be happy with either of those guys tomorrow
Got some trade juice going on all of a sudden
:O
Who
If you take a guard this early, you don’t expect to keep the veterans you have. Is fluker a goner? They brought Iupati back. They signed a bunch of journeymen. I would have preferred a tackle instead, but he’s a solid player. There must be a plan, right?
I have no issues with this pick.
I think they got a top-50 player.
Rob, what’s the plan? Who is making this roster? There had to be a reason to sign so many OL bodies? They passed on a dozen tackles so they believe they’re okay there, (they aren’t). Shell and an agin brown. I know he’s one of your favorites but he’s a guard on a team that didn’t truly need one, (but they like Phil Haynes). I watched him get demolished against brown, (I know it’s brown), but he’s not a top 50 player in this draft.
Listen I’ve questioned the plan as much as anyone.
I can’t criticise getting a top-50 talent in round three.
I think it opens up real competition. We have 2 veteran options returning and a bunch of young guys who could win starting jobs. I think the Warmack types are gone, they were hedges. Think iupati and fluker stick around unless they’re legitimately at the bottom of the depth chart
Bunch of us wanted Raekwon Davis in the 2nd round. Damien Lewis HANDLED Raekwon last year.
I wonder if they trade back into the third late.
The major failure of this draft was leaving day three with zero interior dline reinforcements. lets hope there is someone in round 4
Reed and Poona are legit though. We don’t NEED a 3rd stud, would be nice but we can do with the usual veteran
You think we need our 19th OL more? We have ZERO depth at DT, and Poona isn’t an every down dude.
I like Lewis, quite a bit, but I don’t understand the prioritization of positional need at all.
After last season i am not sold on poona being a starter.
Rashard Lawrence
Goid call. He might work…
I didn’t really love his tape but sure bring him in.
Agree completely. I really like Damien Lewis, but that seems like the perfect place to take Hamilton.
Totally with you there. That would be been a banger of a pick.
Remember that Pete and John love signing vet DT. McDaniel, Woods, Stephen, etc. They still have Reed, Poona, Mone. They can find some vets to fill that out.
Oh I am sure they’ll bring in a mediocre older vet. But I am tired of that entire cycle. We need a young guy we can develop over time like Reed, not another one and done who is kind of meh.
Yep and that’s just more money that we can’t spend on Clowney/Griffen/whomever
So like Poona then? I would’ve been fine with a DT, but having a mauling young guard that you can develop over time is pretty alright too.
Overall a solid 3 first picks
I think we need to cast a wider net and disregard positional need next year. No disrespect to the blog or rob. Great draft for rob and and the blog IMO. I think we can improve in that a lot of valid ideas were dismissed.
Would have loved for some of my favorites to get drafted but all these picks make lots of make sense and tick a lot of boxes. No big surprises though IMO outside of maybe brooks in R1.
No. You never cast out positional need.
LB wasn’t widely considered a need, but Seattle felt differently.
DE was a need and they addressed it within the first 3 picks in the draft.
The logic behind some of the guys or picks was good, we just don’t have as much information this year as in years past. To even have some of the guys in the conversation is a minor miracle.
Thought Rob did better than most of the talking heads, even from jolly old England 😉
Wow, Darrell Taylor actually visited the VMAC before everything closed down. They were in on this guy early.
Wow. He had tp be one of the 1st visits.
So that’s 3 picks in a row that Seattle has met with. I thought that was gonna be important this year.
Only 3 down LEO in the draft.
Also a multi-sport guy. Played basketball too his whole life. Mom was 6-1, played power forward. Check.
RB DT WR all seem like targets still…. perhaps a slight lean on C as well.

Was checking out Damien Lewis’ Instagram, and came across this. Note that he’s practicing snaps in the 4th and 5th clips..
That’s something I was just gonna post.
Is he a C?
We’ll find out soon.
Definitely something to keep an eye on. An interior oline of Iupati-Lewis-Fluker would be monstrous.
Theres still a bunch of OTs available. Adeniji, Bartch, Peart, Wanogho, A. Taylor, just to name a few
Really? 8th ranked offense and needs all over the front seven and you are thinking of OL?
All we have is 33 or 34 year old Duane Brown, Shell, Ogbuehi and Chad wheeler. We should pick one of these ones, it’s a nice class.
We just picked 2 front 7 players lol
Ravens with Dobbins, Queen, Madubuike and still have three picks left in the third. Watch out KC.
KC is holding their own and might actually be slightly better this year with the offseason draft and other moves. Very elite offense…. and the defense is starting to reload.
Both of those teams are killing it.
I sure hope we have a nice plan (as usual) for UDFA, as this trading up for picks is something that doesn’t make sense to this fan who understands the crap shoot that is the NFL draft. Volume rules and we are giving volume away particularly when we could be stacking picks together in the middle rounds where there is talent at many positions!
Tend to agree. They must have really liked Taylor though, and that’s a good thing. Whenever we trade up, we tend to hit.
I like trading up if we have the capital left to fall back on and I also like their history with that action as well.
The Baylor tape on Jordyn Brooks is super impressive. I’m trying to fund the OK St. game and TCU from ’18 where he makes some jaw dropping plays. Anyone know where to find those 2 games?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POJD1zLH98I
Bummed we missed out on Hamilton and Madubuike AND Okwara: I liked all those guys and they seemed to fit Seattle’s needs and preferences. Oh well, a 19th lineman must be pretty important. Hope Lewis turns out…
That’s not completely fair, but I think you know that.
How is anything I said not fair? They could have had any of those guys, or Zuniga, but waited to take a lineman, and its simply the truth that he’s now the 19th Olineman under contract. They can do what they like, but to me the Slime has been neglected.
Lol, D-Line, not slime!
Never neglect the SLIME! 🙂
We didn’t miss out, we GAVE it away trading up and giving away picks to apparently pick an OL that everyone loves because he’s a road grader with character. OL will be a tough place to break into this year with limited preseason/training camp and speed on the DL is crucial in this window!
I am curious to what peoples issues have been with Field Gulls, or certain people on Seahawks twitter, this may have been explained before, and I was just curious as I have seen comments made about FG and certain Seahawks Twitter personas, and I know there has been some contention there. I would appreciate anyone chiming in.
What is your interest in this?
Hawktalker#1…..a true conspiracy theorist?
Just curious, don’t want to pry to deep though.
From my perspective, Field gulls has crap writing and lazy analysis. Click bait “articles”. I pay no attention to Twitter…
Can’t speak for everyone, but to my mind FG went downhill in a big way when Danny Kelly left. It’s become a chippy, smug, one-track community. Although I’m sure they’d say the same about here.
Similarly, Seahawks Twitter in general has become dominated by self-styled analytics nerds who are more interested in playing fantasy cap manager than enjoying football.
2nd round more expensive than the first.
Alex Mack could be available…
The question is do we need another interior lineman?
Please no.
Falcons Center? For our 20th OL?
I don’t see it. They said the three they got were their 1,2,3 fits that they identified.
Mack is 34 and Finney is 28. Is Mack that much better than Finney? We could also just keep Britt if they wanted.
Mack has been consistently a top 10 center. If he could keep it up for another 2-3 years, yes, that would be way better than Finney.
I’m all for giving him Britt’s money.
Oh geez, I didn’t realize he was already 34. Maybe somewhat less than Britt money…
He won’t be cheap salary-wise. He likely costs more than Britt. And he’s not the player he once was. I can’t see Seattle getting him, but boy have I been wrong about their roster-building plans, so I obviously know nothing about what they might do…
Pick 133 and 148 might get us in the very end of round three if they wanted?
Pete wants to play tough and fast on defense. He wants to run the ball. They drafted 2 explosive guys on defense and a mauling guard. This is on brand.
Lewis just told the Seattle press that he can play LG, RG and C in the conference call.
I would imagine center would be last resort but the more positions the better. I wonder how this might affect Fluker?
Analysis – guards: who cares? Defense: we got a mongoose and a cobra snake. Two fastest guys after the QB in this draft. The tape doesn’t lie, and neither does Rob Staton. Forget the rankings, these two will eviscerate opponents backfields. Pitch a tent, Brooks and Taylor are setting up camp. There will be bloody bits of wool, 69r’ meat and redbird feathers all over the field 6 times a year. LLoyds of London insurance options for NFC west opponent QB’s just tripled, too late to protect them. The rest of the draft: let’s get some ace special-teamers. Really crazy guys like Joe Exotic, but 100 pounds heavier and without a limp who can who can deliver a ferocious hit. Time to make the other team’s offense cry again.
Bye, bye, Zuniga. Jets.
Guess they didn’t get enough of risky Florida pass rushers…
It’s funny because they took Jachai a year ago and he was a massive bust. Strange they’d take another Florida pass rusher Idk
There’s waaaay too many picks in between Seattle’s next pick. They have to be trying to get back in here. Your gonna miss out on too much talent.
Hope so.
Couldnt agree more. Might have to use a 2021 pick?
Not sure
Still some good players on the board for the Hawks.
Lawrence (DT / LSU)
Moss ( RB / Utah)
Davis (WR/ S Car)
Fotu (DT/ Utah)
Amid Robertson (CB/ LTech)
Could Moss and Robertson fall to 133 and 144? Most likely no chance.
If Lewis sees the field next season and plays well… slam dunk pick. I’m not kidding.
But that’s contingent on cutting some dead weight. Time for fluker to hit the road I’m afraid.
There will be fierce competition on the OLine. Coronavirus situation might save Fluker.
Raiders just hoarding receivers
Raiders are loaded at WR! Ruggs, Tyrell Williams, Bryan Edwards, Lynn Bowden. Jesus!
That’s how you ****in do it, Chucky!
Oh man. Bowden and Edward’s to Vegas…
Load up the WRs .. them Raiders going all out.
Just love to see it
It makes sense. Draft for your division. Gotta try and keep up with the Chiefs by putting points on the board.
They shouldn’t have a problem with that now lol. Especially with Josh Jacobs slowing the game down. They’re gonna be really good this year
Check the QB however…..
Lmao right?
Maybe they take Eason….. take advantage of the WR speed down the field with his cannon arm
