I almost wouldn’t be surprised if the Hawks looked to him as a veteran draft hedge.
Apparently he’s retiring
Since when has that ever stopped PC…?
(I kid; thanks for the info)
Something is wrong with Britt: he played every snap the first game, then was put on the Non-Football Injury/Illness list. Which likely means he wasn’t paid. He missed the rest of the season.
If Seattle’s wants to reunite with undersized former Centers, Pocic is a FA and magically became a better player as soon as he left Seattle…
Remember 2017 when the Seahawks spent a 2nd round pick on Ethan Pocic at center, then signed Britt to a big extension later that summer?
Good times.
And so it begins…
Bet he had the best piss of his life after that weigh-in
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like Austin Powers after awaking from cryonic suspension
Yep.
Makes me wonder if they’ll do muscle mass measurements soon.
They’re trialling body scanners
Young measuring at that size is not only surprising, but best thing that could have happened for us. Likely makes him draftable ahead of us to push down Levis or Richardson. Richardson hand size is crazy haha
Meanwhile, as everyone is worrying about Bryce Young’s size… 👀
Wow, Richardson is a big guy! If we draft him, maybe he can play linebacker for a year while he learns to play QB in the NFL.
Awesome size!
But shows you how freaky the former qb was at 10.25″
Richardson is on his way to being the number 1 draft pick in my opinion. If Seattle is able to stay put and grab him at #5 I will be ecstatic!
Young at 204 is funny. I bet after he pooped and pissed post weigh in he was back down to 184.
There is one tiny hiccup with Richardson being number one.
Rob. And now many other talking heads note that there’s good reason to believe it could be rocky to bad if he starts day one.
If you were Reid or Dabbol I could see them rolling with it as he grows into the game. Other coaches? I’m not sure their acumen.
However Seattle? That I do see.
I agree with you Peter. Most of the QB needy teams need someone who can hit the ground running, and start on day one, as they don’t have other good options.
Now if the Hawks can get a reasonable bridge deal done with Geno, then drafting Richarson would be the perfect move.
I’m just not convinced he’s ready to start right away. Perhaps it would be more damaging for his development to get thrown right into the fire, rather than learn the NFL game at a slower pace. You can still design some plays for him and get him into games on a controlled basis.
This is my hope anyway, that Houston and Indy lean more towards Young and Stroud, even Levis, all of whom are likely more ready for the NFL game right now than Richardson.
He’s not ready. He will honestly be better with a year of coaching and learning. His experience is so limited. I think our saving grace is that the other qb needy teams can’t wait it out like us.
Let him sit for the year and never leave Olson’s side. Then reap the benefits.
I do agree with you Peter. And I actually hope this proves true. But if a franchise believes in his upside they could get their own bridge QB. There is nothing stopping anyone from doing a bridge deal at QB even with our own 2 FA QB’s. Neither Lock nor Geno are ours…and there are others.
Valid point for sure. My only counter would be that if Indy, or another team, trades up to #1 it’s harder to justify all the stock it takes to move up while sitting your QB. Case in point, the Niners gave up so much to trade up for Trey Lance, they just couldn’t wait any longer to get him on the field, even with Jimmy G still in the fold.
If the Hawks were to move up from #5 they might be facing the same situation and be looking for one of the guys more ready to play right away.
Richardson at 5 would be start of another potentially epic draft.
I am looking forward to Josh Downs today. I know there are lots of good receivers and my brain tells me I can never have as much info as the Seahawks have so picking “their guy” out of a bunch is very difficult but also my brain “He’s the one.”
Hey guys,
Saw that Seahawks interviewed Michael Wilson of Stanford. Intermittent productivity in college looks more a product of how he was used over his potential. I suspect that they have some intel via Colby Parkinson. Maybe there’s something there no one is seeing.

Forgot Bryce Young for a minute, how many people had Jordan Addison being smaller? Barely 5’11, 173 lbs, and 8″ hands? Oof
These TEs man lol. Oh my goodness.
Darnell Washington: 6’7, 265, 11″ hands, 84″ wingspan
Luke Musgrave: 6’6, 257, 10 3/8″ hands
Michael Mayer: 6’4, 249
Dalton Kincaid: 6’4, 246
IDK Kraft’s or La Porta’s yet
Who’s your “must-have, can’t leave draft without” player this year?
I want Richardson
And one of Ade/McDonald/Benton
Everything else is gravy.
Richardson or Levis but I don’t think that’s realistic. Second place, Downs (but let’s see how he shows up at Combine).
I’m with Mick 100%. Either or. Stroud in third place for me.
Stroud/Levis/Richardson
Me too….
