Seahawks picks
Round four (#133) — Colby Parkinson (TE, Stanford)
He’s a tall, lean, move-TE. The Cardinal used him as a receiver and he didn’t do much blocking. He’s 6-7 and 252lbs with 33 1/4 inch arms. He ran a 7.15 three cone — which is in the ballpark. Again — it’s the three cone that’s the big thing here. He only ran a 4.77. But a good three cone puts you on the radar at this position. According to PFF, he didn’t drop a single pass in 2019. Going into the 2019 season he was being talked up as a player who could rise into the first round range. It never happened — but that’s the potential he has.
Round four (#144) — Deejay Dallas (RB, Miami)
Yet again, we’ve been able to identify a Seahawks running back. He was on our physical profile list from the combine. He fits their size and explosive trait ideals. He’s 5-10, 217lbs and jumped a 33.5 inch vertical and a 9-11 broad. He finishes his runs. He’s tough — just as they like. This isn’t a surprise at all — and they badly needed to add some depth at the position.
Round five (#148) — Alton Robinson (DE, Syracuse)
He ran a superb 4.32 short shuttle (second best time at the combine) and that’s a test we’ve identified that really matters for defensive lineman and Seattle. His 4.69 forty shows off his athleticism and he had an explosive 35.5 inch vertical. They probably had him this low due to a lack of length (32 3/8 inch arms) but in this range you can take a shot. His pass rush win percentage was only OK — it’s 15.9%.
Round six (#214) — Freddie Swain (WR, Florida)
Once again, the Seahawks target a 4.4 (4.46) runner at receiver. I had him on the horizontal board as a seventh round possibility. Seattle uses their last pick to tap into the deep receiver class. He’s considered a contender to return punts in the NFL and a dynamic slot receiver. However, he’s also been knocked for his attention to detail when running routes.
Round seven (#251) — Stephen Sullivan (TE, LSU)
The Seahawks traded their 2021 sixth rounder to Miami to jump back into the seventh round. Stephen Sullivan had an incredible journey to LSU and he has incredible length (35.5 inch arms) on a 6-5, 248lbs frame. He ran a 4.66 at the combine and jumped a 36.5 inch vertical. His agility testing, however, was dreadful. That’s one of the main reasons he’s lasted this long. He’s a high character team player who could develop into a big target (much like Colby Parkinson).
2020 draft class
R1 — Jordyn Brooks (LB)
R2 — Darrell Taylor (EDGE)
R3 — Damien Lewis (G)
R4 — Colby Parkinson (TE)
R4 — Deejay Dallas (RB)
R5 — Alton Robinson (DE)
R6 — Freddie Swain (WR)
R7 — Stephen Sullivan (TE)
Here’s a short podcast Brandan and I recorded reflecting on day two…
I’m hoping for:
Fotu/Lawrence
Hall
Prince T
Joe Reed
Joe Reed and K.J. Hill are my preferred WRs at this point.
Really warming up to Brooks. Wasn’t the biggest need, but I can appreciate the talent. Should be a nice starter soon. Think we actually found our next MLB.
Really am digging the quality of players we’ve added so far. Makes up for the small amount of picks this year.
I think he makes a lot more impact on the outside, where he played the two seasons before last. That was my gross scouting omission this year: only looking at 2019 tape and pinning him as a Mike, which I assumed we wouldn’t invest in because we have Bobby.
Let’s let Brooks take over for KJ and see if we can’t groom Barton to be our next MLB.
Also, re-posting these from the end of last thread, cause people will like to see them!
That’s the kind of BAMF attitude I like to hear:
I think we discussed this before here but I am really curious in what they see in Barton. His biggest strength seems to be pass coverage. He is just so different from Bobby Wagner, phyisically, the way he plays, everything.
Brooks looks way more like a Bobby Wagner type than Barton.
However, Barton looked best in preseason when he was playing the MLB spot. Will be an interesting pre season at linebacker.
As much as I disliked the Hawks plan on Day #1 I liked it on day #2. Taylor and Lewis are both incredible additions who I think have the potential to be young building blocks going forward. Even though I was not happy with the Hawks Day #1 I really liked the player. I think they have 3 Day #1 starters in their first 3 picks and that is a success IMO so far. This is still a flawed roster but this draft is helping so far and that is a positive.
I had my own bog board done up for the Hawks ad this is what I have left.

I like. Do you think the should try to move up to get a guy?
Some good name still left. 27 picks u till our first then three in a short time. Im hoping for one of Amik or Bryce Hall. Amik would be great in the slot and Bryce could come in and learn and possibly be in the mix in 2021.
Would love to see the Hawks use some 2021 draft capital to get up into the top of Rd #4 to grab Wangoho who would have a couple of years to develop and be a legit replacement at LT for Duane Brown.
This is not a bad idea, could prove a good use of resources if it pans out. Getting a starting caliber LT this late. Amik would be my get, really want to improve the slot. Leki is really appealing as well, they tend to go the veteran rout at run stopping DT, but he seems like a BAMF.
More than anything for this upcoming season and draft (2021) hope the Seahawks can focus on getting at least a couple 4th to 7th round picks in trades for existing veterans. They always do that and sometimes turn around and wisely flip them for players like Dunbar. Let’s just kick it up a notch.
Who knows how the Oline is going to end up with so many bodies. Copy the NE model of letting go of players before their prime. Probably could have done something with Sherm before losing him, his situation was complicated. Will be interesting to see who they extend and who they part with at the CB position.
I am on board with that totally. Don’t want to use this years but a next year fifth?
WR’s i like to see the Seahawks draft in the 4th only to cut after training camp
KJ Hill OSU
Donovan Peoples-Jones Michigan
Gabe Davis UCF
Tyler Johnson Minnesota
Quintez Cephus Wisconsin
Antonio Gandy-Golden Liberty
Ooh forgot Davis was still there
“…..draft in the 4th only to cut after training camp.”
VERY funny! 🙂
Our history with fourth round recievers hasnt been good.
+1
PFF had Brooks as the best run defender and best tackler out of all LBs (including Isaiah Simmon).
Had a run defense grade of 91.5.
He missed only 7% of his tackle attempts the last 2 seasons, best of all off-ball linebackers with at least 150 attempts in those 2 years. He had 186. So he missed 13 tackles in 2 years while being in on a lot of them.
FWIW (not much), they had him as an honorable mention for ‘most fun to watch’
Quez Watkins!
Would be stoked to get him.
I’d love to see them grab Quez @ 214
I was really hoping for a shot at Aiyuk or Reagor with our second pick (wherever that could have been) but obviously those two were a lot higher on draft boards than thought and rightfully so: both guys could tilt the field in a single play. Quez could be the poor man’s version of these two. I just want someone explosive on offense.
Love the perspective and certainly coming around on picking Lewis. Stuck on the need for competition up front on DL still. Was looking at the FA available and certainly agree, we’ll likely see a Mebane et al come in at some point. My Day 3 “wish list”: Alton Robinson and Trevis Gipson are both a bit of a project, Tyler Johnson at WR, Benito Jones and Broderick Washington. What do you think of K’Von Wallace? Perine is a punisher? BoPete Keyes? Enjoy the day.
Posted this at the end of the last thread:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw6JaHNhXXo&t=606s
Film breakdown of Darrell Taylor to kill the time before day 3 begins.
Based on Zierleib and Bruglers reports Rashard Lawrence is all John and Pete wants in player from character standpoint.
Ran my last PFN Mock simulator for the year. Never traded up but traded a 6th rd pick next year for a 7th round pick this year to grab a developmental QB in Montez. I would be quite happy with a draft like this actually.
27. Jordyn Brooks
OLB Texas Tech
48. Darrell Taylor
OLB Tennessee
69. Damien Lewis
G LSU
133. Amik Robertson
CB Louisiana Tech
144. Leki Fotu
DT Utah
148. Hunter Bryant
TE Washington
214. Alex Taylor
OT SC State
227. Steven Montez
QB Colorado
That would be a good finish.
I love the Darrell Taylor pick. We have talked about him alot this year as a big time upside guy who was really under rated. One of the things that cannot be underestimated when talking about Taylor and his productivity is the fact that he basically was the entire Vols pass rush the last two years. There was very little inside pass rush or a guy on the other side. Therefore teams could really scheme for him and slide the RB to his side to help the OT. Much like Brian Burns last year he was his teams pass rush. Another plus is that his coach Pruitt does a great job coaching up the DL so he should be fundamentally sound.
My one and only concern is if he can stay healthy. If he can then I think this is an A+++ pick as he is a 1st round talent who I have been hoping the Hawks would target for 2 years now.
I think we will get a WR, DL, CB nickel, and one BPA today.
Gimme your 5 most Seahawky names for day 3
Khalid Kareem
K’Von Wallace
Rashard Lawrence
Bryce Hall
Kenny Robinson
I have juste read about Kvona Wallace. He is no1 on my list for today.
PFF guide before every position reports names players who are best tacklers, most fun, etc…for LBbest tackler was Brooks…guess who.is best tackler for Safeties…Wallace…and his best role is nickel…great 6.76s 3 cone…leader…
He’s a discount Minkah Fitzpatrick and an alpha.
Amik Robertson
Bryce Hall
James Lynch
Josh Kelley
Hakim Andenji
Really happy with the picks thus far, my mock is trashed though.
Curious if anyone had Curtis Weaver falling to day 3? Hadn’t seen that projection before. Injuries? Conference? seems like a good value for the day.
Others: Gabriel Davis, Prince Tega Wanogho
I would be in on trading up and getting Weaver or Wanogho great value. They won’t be there at 133.
BoiseSeahawk asking about Curtis Weaver. Safe to assume you live in Boise? I live in the Seattle area, but am from Boise and graduated from Boise State. Its a nice place.
Rob, making your Cowboy fan friend wear a 49ers t-shirt for losing your mock draft challenge is diabolical. Well played!
yeah wonderfully evil Rob
HAHAHA!
Donovan Peoples-Jones is super athletic, tall, and strong. He came up big in every game, even though Michigan had crappy quarterback play.
I don’t think he’ll last to the Hawk’s picks, but I bet Russ would love throwing to him.
Was a top recruit out of high school. SO much hype
But did he really come up big in every game? Nobody doubts he’s an absolute athletic freak.
At this point in the draft, we aren’t going to find many athletic freaks who came up big in every game. Those guys are already gone. A 4th or 5th rounder for someone with his potential sounds right. I watched a lot of Michigan games and he is a good player. I would be thrilled to get him.
I actually really like Peoples-Jones but I also liked Darbo.
Would this be doable?
It seems obvious that we are still planning getting some FA’s after the draft since we didn’t invest at key positions high in the draft. Do we have enough money to get:
DE Clowney
RB Fournette (trade next year’s 5th?)
DT Snacks Harrison
I can see these 3 really playing key roles and taking us to the next level. Can we afford them? I think we need to cut Britt – that will help. I’m sure Russ would restructure to get the Clowney deal done if that’s what it takes!
Also, do you think we could get Marquis Lee WR for the league minimum? He’d be better than any WR we could get today and doesn’t he have a connection with Pete?
Go Hawks!!
I believe Lee signed w/ the Patriots Coach.
Even crazier of a trade, what if we draft Hunter Bryant today, which would then allow us to trade Hollister and Fluker plus next year’s first for YN and Fournette. We then cut Britt to make room. All of sudden we now have picked up some super stars that Russ asked for.
Does drafting Taylor shut the door on YN, since they are somewhat similar styles? Would we instead prefer Clowney or Griffen?
Then maybe trading a 4th next year and Fluker for Fournette could be an option.
I realize all of this won’t happen, just spitballing.
We got our LEO. No need to pay YN $20m.
Hunter Bryant is only 6’2”. Does that matter a great deal?
I agree with Rik that DPJ would be a good pick. Also think Q Cephus has been underrated playing in an offense that focuses on the run. Bigger guy with great hands that always seemed to make a play when called upon.
I’m liking the speed and toughness we’re adding, but I think it is shaping up that the hawks will be one of the busier teams in the post draft market. Is it at all realistic to get clowney and griffen both for $20ish million combined? I just can’t see how they carry Britt at that cost.
Think the needs now are DT, T, CB, WR, and RB.
probably the easiest to fill via free agency would be a run stuffing DT and running back depth.
I think if there’s someone there with our first pick who you could develop into a viable starting tackle in one or two years time – Prince T, Adeniji, Terence Steele – that should maybe be the pick.
Having said that I kind of want Benito Jones with one of our picks.
The best value may be at guard, but we’re completely stocked there at this stage.
Question about Eno Benjamin Rob. You mentioned in the podcast that he wasn’t explosive enough for the Hawks type. His combine results were a 39” vert jump & a 122” broad jump. Those are pretty respectable. Just curious if you’re basing your assessment on tape or something else? He is a little light for their size profile but maybe in the window.
If I mentioned explosion I misspoke. It’s the size.
Hey I love Eno. Talked about him throughout the season.
Count me in on Peoples-Jones after reading this:
Donovan Peoples-Jones didn’t quite have the production at Michigan given his status as a five-star recruit and No. 1 wide receiver in his class coming out of high school. That said, his quarterback play has been dreadful and it limited his ability to be more productive. Peoples-Jones has many qualities that make him an appealing NFL prospect and likely a better pro than college player. His hands, ball skills, size and athletic ability all shine on tape. There’s no questioning his ability to adjust to the football and pluck it with consistency. His body control and concentration along the sidelines and in contested situations are outstanding. The biggest concern with Peoples-Jones at the next level is how consistently he can beat press coverage and if he has enough quick-twitch qualities to be a consistent separator. Peoples-Jones is best utilized as a big slot that can also help his team as a returner.
5 star recruit and #1 WR overall in his class coming out of HS – I can see Pete drooling already! Pete seems to love the big time recruits that fall to become value picks because of their situation. Plus he can return kicks for us. Sign me up! Do you think he will get to us at 133 or 144?
Go Hawks!!
DPJ as a big slot and KR/PR is extremely appealing. He has some freakish athleticism that could really help in the Red Zone as well.
Off topic here but I gotta give a shout out to Belichick the Evil Hoodie for having the best looking dog that’s been on camera throughout the draft. I have a serious soft spot for Huskies (and no I didn’t go to UW, went to Seattle U.).
Patriots are having a ruff draft.
I’ll show myself out.
I’d like to see Darnell Mooney at WR.
OK back to actual football……….Rob: would Joshua Kelley be on Seattle’s radar? His measuarbles look to be right in the hawks’ wheelhouse at 5’11” and 219 lbs. What did his tape tell you?
Looked really good at the Sr Bowl. 4.49 at the Combine is also nice. But he is a little lighter than they prefer (212 at the Combine) and not as explosive as they prefer (31 vert, 10’1″ broad).
Could be an option though for 3rd down back since it’s day 3.
Was just about to ask the same question. Watched him play in a post-season all star game (East West Shrine, maybe?) and he looked really good. Not sure how he projects as a pro.
I didn’t watch any all-star games but do watch quite a bit of Pac-12 football and have always liked him. Thanks for the numbers Sea Mode. Doesn’t sound like he’ll be on their radar but he’s definitely a downhill type so maybe not a bad choice as a #3 guy.
I don’t think we’ll draft Fotu with his motor concerns.
Would you trade next year draft capital to do something like this? I had to use a third.

Harrison Hand
100% yes. We have no idea what 2020 will look like, and you will almost certainly have a much better grasp on this year’s class than you will next year.
I think I would give up a 3rd next year if they could add Wanogho and Lawrence. We really need a legit LT prospect to develop behind Brown.
Rob has him in second (Prince Wango) so assuming next year is a late third, I would think getting a developmental Tackle would be a good idea. Assuming his injuries are not to much of a red flag. Probably why he would even be here.
You dumb @zz producehawk! Glad they didn’t follow your advice … dipstick!
Just wanted to say thank you again Rob. This site has helped me get through this crazy time.
Today, I would like to see Adeniji and Hall.
Looking at Minnesota with 13 picks remaining!
Still looking for a WR and a KR. DPJ fits. Anyone else?
Hunter Bryant fits the Seahawks TE physical profile and would be great value.
Amik Robertson for slot corner? Yes, please.
Please get me Michael Jacquet with a late pick. Converted WR with crazy length who talked to Seattle.
Still believing for Clowney or Griffin.
Maybe we get Fournette after the draft for RB depth.
Can get a FA DT for near the veteran minimum.
UMass CB/KR Isaiah Rodgers
I want us to land at least one of the following:
Leki Fotu
Amik Robertson
Hunter Bryant
Nick Harris
Joe Reed
Bryce Hall
Saahdiq Charles
I agree completely. Rob would you give up a 3rd next year if it meant they could get at least 2 of these guys?
Do you prefer Charles over Wanogho as a developmental LT / swing tackle?
No Rashard Lawrence? I think he’d fit into their ethos for this draft nicely.
I love Lawrence.
But I want size inside. Big size.
Exactly, that would be awesome. At least 1. That list is awesome. Those players cover many bases. Still a flawed team, but one of those can cover one of those deficiencies.
It will be like Round 2 a lot of those will go early today. No need to panic, but if needed and you have one in mind. go and get him. Just as Rob mentioned prior to round 2.
John Schneider repeatedly stated his envy of the Vikings day 3 haul (volume of picks) so we are not in an ideal scenario. It is what it is, live and learn.
How I wish we would sign Jadaveon to a 1 year deal. Best of both worlds, give a much needed boost to 2020-21 Seahawks and give us a chance to either re-sign him long term or worse case scenario recoup a third round comp for him after he signs a long term deal elsewhere after a healthier season. Much better than him signing a one year deal with some other team in this truncated off-season.
Well OT Charles of LSU is gone. Heck with just 1, 2-4 would be great. Fotu and Robertson on D, Harris and Reed at C and WR. But I’d be just as happy with Ismael or Biadasz at center, Benito Jones at DT, a couple other WRs who ran 4.3-4.4 at the combine in Watkins or Hightower and other nickel CBs to compete with Amadi.
On another note, unfortunately 49ers keep improving with trade for Trent Williams at OT from Washington.
Predictions? Let’s hear’em!
Here’s what I’m hoping for!
133 Peoples-Jones WR Mich – sounds like exactly what they look for in their players!
144 Lawerence/Fotu DT – strong as an ox and LEADERSHIP!
148 Kelley/Perine/McFarland RB – Playmaking ability!
214 They get their annual developmental CB
Go Hawks!!
Someone compared Eno Benjamin to Reggie Bush
Anybody else get a bit of a BAMF feeling from each of our picks so far?
Absolutely.
If we could add Fotu as a 1 tech then are able to resign Clowney I would feel a lot better about our DL and defense next year.
The trend this draft is to get “their guy” BPA. I wonder who the Hawks are tracking and will they have to go up again in this round to get him? If your target is Prince T, Weaver, Amik, or Anae they will have to come way up. If they have H Bryant, J Kelley, Lawrence, or Nick Harris etc. they may be able the draft to come to them at #133,#144, and #148. Should be interesting.
List of people I’d be happy to see.
Fotu, great upside if we can get the motor going. R Lawrence another great D line option.
Either of the H Bryant TEs would be great.
Amik Robertson is a dog, love that guy.
Eno Benjamin as a scat back. Josh Kelly I thought would be gone by now.
Q Cephus or Antonio G G would be fine.
The Prince just because of the awesome name.
Javelin Guidry, 4.2 speed and 21 bench reps for a late round guy? Yes please.
I’m torn on Amik Robertson. I want to like him, love his competitive fire, instincts, and production (5 INT, 15 PBU in 2019), but he played in a small conference and lacks so much length, even for a pure slot corner. (30 1/4 arms, 73 7/8 wingspan). Tyrann Mathieu has 31 1/4 arms and played at LSU. IDK. I think they might be thinking of playing Dunbar in the slot anyways.
These are fair points.
But if they take him I’ll like it. He hits. He makes plays.
Seems like they really are trying to get hitters and bamfs, get back to being the bully.
I just encountered something very weird:
https://sports.mynorthwest.com/839471/seahawks-tops-in-nfl-draft-in-athleticism/
This is what they say:
“According to NFL Next Gen Stats, the Seahawks’ selections in the first three rounds have the highest average athleticism score.
“In a follow-up tweet, Next Gen Stats described the athleticism score as “representing the most important drills at the combine in a single metric that best predicts NFL success for each position.” Athleticism scores range from 50 to 99, and the average score of Seattle’s picks after two days is 97.”
“excluding QB & OL”
The Seahawks drafted 3 players. One was just cleared for running and only ran the 40 yards. One was recovering from leg surgery and did not test at the combine. The 3rd is a Guard – OL.
All they had on all players combined in the combine is Brooks running 4.54 40.
How the hell did they come up with that number???
lol
I’ll give a prediction:
We don’t trade up, keep 3 picks from 133-148.
133. Amik Robertson
144. Rashard Lawrence
148. Terence Steele
214. Joe Reed
Keep it real guys.
We all know the best moment of the draft was CeeDee’s Lamb GF.
This format, IMO, has been so much better.
I’d do it this way every year.
+1
I like it much better too. Only thing I miss is seeing all the former players announce their teams picks in the 2nd round. Always thought that was a cool little touch.
That was certainly the best visual I have seen in a while.
My god. The things I would let that woman do to me.
Jim Nagy on ESPN radio draft converge today which should be interesting.
People will have their different views.
I love Mel Kiper Jr.
I love the way he loves the draft.
He is a reassuring, consistent figure. A symbol of the draft. A unique, perfectly suited individual who encapsulates the nerdy, geeky, excitable side of being a draft fan.
He’s also a great brodcaster.
I still cant believe he’s a real person
He created a job for himself. Icon. Don’t agree with him much but respect the life he made for himself.
Absolutely.
Im at work but I have an opportunity to watch the draft. Ill be hopping on here from time to time. GO HAWKS!
Wow.
Trent Williams to the Niners.
Dang.
I can’t believe how aggressive other teams have been this off-season… and how inactive the Seahawks have been.
I’m starting to like our draft…but there’s zero doubt that SF and AZ are lapping us when it comes to making their clubs better. Yikkes.
Niners going for it
Got to respect that
Dont worry will sign a couple o-linemen after the draft and be aggressive that way
They get him for $12.5m this year. They save $11m if they move on from Joe Staley.
BTW, if the JAGS aren’t careful, that’s about all they’re gonna get for Yannick as well.
“Get me Bill O’Brien on line 1!”
This hurts but won’t they have to clear cap space for him?
Staley prob retiring so that helps
F^&!
And then the Skins take Saadhiq Charles
Trent hasn’t played in a long time. And he wants to get paid. Huge risk.
9ers are nailing this draft. 3 impact starters added to an already talented roster.
sh*t
My view of the first two days is that the Seahawks have set up for cutting Britt and KJ Wright.
Absolutely. I think they didn’t cut them already because they didn’t want to tip their target positions to the other teams.
I think the option is there. I dont think they would be released until they get beat out in camp so may early September if at all.
Or when they need the $$,$$$,$$$ to sign free agents.
And Fluker.
SF just got Trent Wiliams from WASH. DAMNNNNNNNNNNN
Bhahahaha! The 9ers get Trent Williams.
It’s funny that a lot of people have been complaining that Seattle has too many O linemen with 19 on the roster. Then I read that after drafting Cole Kmet that the Bears have 10 tight ends! That is crazy.
one of your targets off the board already Rob 🙁
Charles LSU
Dammit…really wanted Charles – thought he was physically a safe bet to eventually become a starting LT down the line. A very ideal 4th round pick.
Wonder if the Seahawks can do the same w/ Yannick.
Rob, will you post a Day 3 Seahawks board today?
He did on his Twitter I believe @RobStaton
I’ve now added it to the top of this article.
His targets for the Seahawks today as posted above are:
Leki Fotu
Amik Robertson
Hunter Bryant
Nick Harris
Joe Reed
Bryce Hall
Saahdiq Charles
Charles already gone.
Mock Draft Competition results through round 3.
Jordyn Brooks was chosen 0 times
Darrell Taylor was chosen 28 times
Damien Lewis was chosen 14 times
TDD is currently the stand alone leader having picked both D. Taylor & D. Lewis.
Results are subject to operator error. My abacus is a little rusty.
If we were a Miami site I would be kicking buttons. As it is, I don’t think I am competitive with TDD, nice job!
Zero times…first round pick…😂
Most didnt expect us to even make a first round pick let alone one of the surprises of the draft.
Says a lot about where we are as fans
Funniest line of the day.
I swear, sometimes I think JS and PC go to the draft thinking how can we mess with all the mock drafts, fans and the pundits. Let’s give’m a ride.
Another Clemson guy to the Raiders.
It’s becoming like the Ravens with Bama when Ozzie was in charge. Can’t blame them, quality programme.
Richard Sherman and Trent Williams on the same team, that should be entertaining.
You mad bro?
*grabs popcorn
‘Beat the traffic’
I wonder if Seattle gets 2 guys here and punts on the draft. Meaning, the next 2 round they’ll use as UDFA
Makes sense.
Aside from the R6-7 options looking crap, they also have less info this year than in previous years.
Or make some veteran deals.
I think they’re gonna come out saying that they 3 guys they get in R4-R5 all had day 2 grades. Teams boards are gonna be really different this year.
RB’s continue to fly off the board. That’s 11 now I think.
My hope:
133 Leki Fotu DT Utah
144 K’Von Wallace, Nickel CB Clemson
148 James Robinson, RB Illinois State
214 Collin Johnson WR Texas
Love Joe Reed too. We need to get a returner.
I like day three 20 picks to go!
Yes sir and then we get 2 more in the next 15 picks after that.
Would you trade next years first for Ngakoues and Fournette? Would solve two problems with one pick.
No
We got our LEO. No need to spend picks and $ on Yannick anymore.
I give them a 3rd for YN if he agreed to a reasonable contract.
I’d give them one our picks today for either.
And blow of their money 💰 round?
I’m always excited for the 5th
Panthers have lowkey had one of my favorite drafts.
I didn’t know they got WR Robbie Anderson in FA until yesterday.
Hope we get to attend games this year. Thule giving off the Pete 2010 vibe. People’s are excited.
Fotu gone and in division (Cards). 🙁
Arizona crap
Fotu to the Cards. Come on.
Gosh
Crap Futu to AZ
Leki Fotu the the Cards. Life’s getting tougher in the NFC West.
is Kliff gonna be able to get the best out of him though? I’m not convinced. He’ll get a splash play here and there but without the right coaching he’s gonna also disappear a lot
Holy Crap. Fotu to AZ
Cardinals quietly take Fotu
Well Marcell Dareus is now an option to play 1 tech. Lets see if we get Rashard Lawrence for the 3 tech.
The NFC west is just maddeningly competent right now, going to be an absolute bloodbath for the next few years.
Dammit AZ!
The Cardinals knocked this draft out of the park on paper. I’m sick to my stomach smh
49ers trade for Trent Williams?
Suprised they have any cap space.
They get him for $12.5m this year. They save $11m if they move on from Joe Staley.
Sucks for us.
Of COURSE Fotu goes to AZ….
I know it sucks seeing a lot of guys we’ve talked about and identified gking to division rivals, but I also think that says a lot about Rob & the community as a whole that we see fits in the NFCW. Grown man division. Big boy football.
Vikings gonna take Bryce Hall?
It’s going to be tough sledding in the NFC West.
Late to the party.
Starting to understand off-season: Continue to build culture; don’t overpay for players who aren’t ‘all in.’
IMO, Brooks, Taylor, Lewis continue the Collier, Metcalf, Blair vibe. Grown-ass men with a love of the game.
Excited for the late rounds and UDFA.
In Collier’s case…literally a grown man (old). LOL
Truth.
I mean… Yeah..
Funny how they show a video of Fotu saying he doesn’t have any pass rush only a good run-stopper, but it shows him hitting the QB 6-7 times in 30 seconds of highlights. 5.1 40 at the combine for 6’5″ 335 is pretty awesome, and really agile for that size, used to play soccer.
ESPN: Ben Bartch woke up every morning in HS and drsnk a smoothie consisting of 7 eggs, cottage cheese, grits, peanut butter, banana’s, and Gatorade.
Me: *trying to figure out how much almost a dozen eggs a day would cost*
Me: *raw or sccrambled?*
Crambold. He made one at the combine
I stuttered.
But in bulk about 99 cents per doz
He has a BIG chicken coop
I just think of the deuce you would drop after drinking that.
😂😂😂 this website is free 🙏 💀
🤭 🤣
Speaking of. I drank beet juice yesterday. When that exits you’re wondering how bad the internal bleeding is until you remember…
Did you drink it on purpose? Sounds nasty.
It was part of a blend with ginger, carrot & orange. Fresh pressed, good stuff.
Corona Defeated (jk)
TMI
Haha. I want you to benefit from my experience.
That would actually make a ton of sense.
A lot of TE’s going ahead of Hunter Bryant.
That’ll happen when you’re 6’2 with an injury history.
Kenny Robinson to Seattle? “You got me kicked off the team”
That was my guess for Pete on Twitter.
Josh Kelley of RB was a good RB option until the Chargers took him, same with TE Har. Bryant of FAU. Both looked great at Senior Bowl, and Bryant was best blocking TE in college according to PFF.
Meant to say Josh Kelley of ND – not RB.
Rashaad Lawrence, DT
Prince Tega Wangoho, OT
Amik Robertson, CB
Leki Fotu, DT
Curtis Weaver, Edge
Hunter Bryant, TE
Khalid Kareem, Edge
Hakeem Adeniji, OL
Jason Strowbridge, Edge
Nick Harris, C
Anthony Mcfarland, RB
Reggie Robinson, CB
Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR
Kevin Dotson, OL
Scratch Leki but some good names left
Lots of good names. I throw Bryce Hall in there to.
Do we think they will double down on DE?
Anae
Stowbridge
Robinson
There goes perine
Where’d Perine go?
Jets
Robinson please no.
I think it will be TE.
Like to see us grab Weaver at DE and either Lawrence or Benito Jones at DT. Another good RB option in Perine off the board, plus one of Rob’s favorites in “Mr. Nasty” Logan Stenberg. No sacks allowed all year.
These picks are cruising. Stenberg to Colts is a good pick.
yeah good value there
I believe he went to the Lions at #121. Colts have pick #122.
He did ESPN had him to the Colts but changed it.
Once again: they get Trent Williams for $12.5m, Staley retires and they save $11m. All for just a 5th this year and a 3rd next. John Lynch has already earned my utmost respect these couple years. Incredible stuff.
ditto on the Lynch comment
Lynch has proven to be outstanding. This offseason has been a master class of making the most out of tough situations. Cap Space limitations, LT retiring…and he navigated those brilliantly.
He’s done amazing so far.
Even though he is a Niner you have to respect what he has done.
Respect
Seahawks need to make Clowney happen
Maybe now that they can cut/trade KJ and Britt they can sweeten their offer to get it done.
Eason to colts nice pick
That is the perfect landing spot for Eason.
agree
Yup. Thought it would’ve happened earlier but that’s the Colts for you. Been killing the draft for years
He has a chance, if the Colts hit on Eason they will be set. Worth the risk in the 4th. Can learn behind a true pro in Rivers, I imagine Rivers will be a the stage of his career were he will want to be a mentor.
Taylor, Pittman, Blackmon good draft for Ballard.
Curtis Weaver is 26th player on PFF big board. Amd Jabari Zuniga is 6th round grade. I really dont get what they are doing.
PFF downplays athleticism. Weaver, from a data standpoint, is marvelous. They think it translates. The NFL doesn’t.
The Seahawks drafting Weaver/Epenesa/YGM early was my nightmare.
I’m fine with Weaver now. But yea…no gracias on Day 1 or 2.
Agree, but I prefer they go for ‘freak’ traits, late rounds.
Yeah Weaver is more like a Tim Ruskell pick
So ESPN dropped the bottom of the screen crawl for several commercials and NFLN did the same. Betcha they pull that shit when we’re on the clock. That’s the one thing I don’t like about the simulcast. I can’t switch from one to the other when one drops the info off the bottom of the screen.
Indy is a great spot for Eason.
Bet the Steelers would have taken him.
would’ve made a lot of sense. i thought they might take him lat 3rd yesterday
Great names left for the Hawks. I wonder how they will fool me this time???
Rob has lost 2 off his wish list ( Fotu and S Charles ) so 5 on his list left with 10 picks until #133. I’m rooting for Amik Robertson – so that will be the kiss of death probably comes off the board next!
They will probably take someone we haven’t thought of anyway lol
Steelers get RB McFarland.
See ya skinny
I really think Eason is overrated. He’s got a cannon but nothing else. No touch, no anticipation, little awareness/mobility. Don’t think he has the mentality to put in all the extra work he needs too.
Worth a flyer. Maybe he will mature.
if you’re wrong about his work ethic, the other stuff can be taught by Reich and Rivers. that’s a big “if” of course
Eason has no work ethic. Despite standing 6’6 and having a cannon arm he could barely beat out a 5’10 three star qb who had never started a college game…
To me touch and anticipation are more of a natural gift. Basketball players either have good touch/timing on their passes or they don’t. Never really seen someone become a great passer if they’re 20+ years old. They can be passable but not great. And I think QBs need to be great at that skill to be serviceable.
Yet another RB off the board. McFarland to Steelers. Slim pickings.
Bring back Beast mode, LOL
Rob, di you want us to wait to discuss Seattles pick till you post it above with your comments, or have at it?
I’d be happy with Dowdle in the 6th
Fotu gone to the Cards which is a bummer. Any other team man…. Russ is gonna get eaten alive.
I’m hoping for Larrell Murchison Jason Strowbridge or Tevis Gipson here… because of that I’m prepared for them to take Nick Harris
Please no more interior OLineman…lol
Still lots of good names when our cluster of picks come.
Wouldn’t it be something if the got Price Tega, Bryce Hall, Hunter Bryant and a slot guy
Amik!. Would he good 4 picks.
Yeah that’s the guy
K’Von Wallace just taken by the Eagles
Bryant already picked by Browns…
That was Harrison Bryant
Deep! Got me there! My apologies!
Wrong Bryant that was Harrison
Fact Tega is still on the board means something is wrong with him (medicals, character).’
Probably medicals.
Could it be Visa? President is kicking all the foreigner out.
Indy:
QB- Jacob Eason
HB- Jonathan Taylor & Marlon Mack
WR- Michael Pittman & Parris Campbell
OL- Quenton Nelson, Braden Smith, Ryan Kelly (and it’s the best pass ocking group in the league)
What a unit they’re building.
* blocking
Indy is building a good one.
Not excited for Phillip Rivers?
Oh no, I am. Love Rivers. Was just more in reference to what they have for the future going forward. Rivers probably has 2 years left, but there is no one better for Eason to learn from.
And, their HC wasn’t a bad QB either.
8 picks away…
I would like to see Amik Robertson with our pick. How about you guys?
Lawrence, then Robinson…
That would be great. Must be something really wrong with weaver and prince And Anae
He has been my draft crush for a while so yes.
Colton McKivitz as the swing OT? Prince-TW, wonder what’s up there?
Jerry and Mike trying to use phones.
Do we take Hall CB if he is there? Wasn’t he one of the tops at the position?
Go Hawks!!
There goes Sea Mode’s guy.
He good. Thought Seattle might like him.
We got his boy Taylor thou. I’m 0 for 3
Would they double up at DE with Anae?
So limited as an athlete
Rather have Weaver if we take another edge.
5 more picks, guys, and we get it started!
Bryce Hall still there. Great value for the future.
Kenny Robinson reminds me so much of Bradley McDougald. Might fit as well with the “more pro ready” theme they’ve gone with this year.
Hall would be a great value pick
With the way it’s going hall will end up in AZ
They are going to pick some no name guy arent they?
Highly likely.
There are about 8 guys here I would be good with. Which means they won’t take any of them.
Also wouldn’t mind a small trade back, but I doubt anyone wants to trade up.
I mean if Hunter Bryant makes it through, do you pass on that?
Yes. Size and injuries.
Possibly. They drafted a guy with a titanium rod in his leg.
His size would be more of a matchup receiving type like Hollister.
You know they will throw us a curve ball
Oh I’m fully expecting to have no idea who it is.
The 2 least likely options outside QB in my opinion would be a G or ILB. Which means they will take one of them.
Why are these QB’s going ahead of Jake Fromm? Because Fromm is a**.
Jets, Vikes, Cards already have taken a LT and are the only picks ahead of Hawks. Prince Tega pls
Proche as the next Doug Baldwin? It is our designated WR round.
4.48 SS and 7.27 3C ain’t gonna cut it. Respect for his hands though. Some of the best in the draft.
I saw 4.48 & thought 40 time. Well that ain’t bad!
There are ‘typos’ & there are ‘reados’
He also has a kidney disease which might worry some teams
Lots of good players still on the board
There really are. This is setting up nicely for their pick cluster.
Board falling very nice. Gonna be able to get 3 good players here soon.
Fingers crossed what is wrong with prince tango?
Not sure but there must be something. No way he’s still here without something flagged.
I think I want Bryce Hall. With the ? about Prince, I think Bryce is BPA to me
A few days ago I would have jumped on Prince Tega in the 4th round, now I’m stuck wondering what I’m missing with him lol
Like to see Hall here. Amazing potential. Getting healthy. Tega very tempting. What’s up with Hunter Bryant? Almost wanna take him out of pity
Hope MIN doesn’t steal Bryce Hall from us.
They still could.
Cards keep taking our guys, hopefully not this time.
Next 3 picks, I’m rooting for
CB Hall
WR Peoples-Jones
DT Lawerence
Which pick do we need to use for each in order to get them (who will last the longest?)
Go Hawks!!
I think Hall would need to be first.
Pro football network likes these 3 also!
https://www.profootballnetwork.com/best-available-prospects-day-3-2020-nfl-draft/
Go Hawks!!
Would not mind seeing them get a slot CB, Amik Robertson is still available.
Might ARI take another shot at “Honey Badger 2.0”?
Nope, its Rashard Lawrence.
Traded ahead of us and take one of our needs.
Really wondering what has led to the Prince falling so far. Medicals?
Damn Cards!
2 straight DTs. Think they want to stop the run?
They just trying to block the Hawks?
looks like they’ll be back from commercial by our pick. good news
The Cards are killing me this year
Damn the Cards!
3 picks in quick session here good luck 👍 SDB
Of course Cards get our other DT option in Lawrence!!
Seems like the Cardinals are tired of getting gashed in the run game
hawks take Fromm…wtf?
just kidding
No u were right
Dont tip picks yo
Seriously fuck the cards! Lawrence stolen 2 pics before us, criminal
Ehhhhhh he isn’t that good.
Cardinoooos
Cards are drafting for their division here.
F the Cards.
Anyone think Seahawks pull a surprise and take Nick Harris?
If we drafted Nick Harris I’d spew vomit all over my keyboard.
Please no…he won’t work in the NFC West.
Lawrence. Tough.
Amik or Hall are there if they want one.
Is Curtis Weaver still out there?
Yessir
And we don’t even see our pick on TV LOL
they’re back
So here we go and 5 of Rob’s wish list still available! Amik, H Bryant, N Harris, J Reed, and B Hall. Can we get 2 of these guys?
Weaver at DE, Benito Jones at DT, CB Robertson or Hall, someone else?
The Cardinals have had an A++++ off season.
Cards are HAWK-BLOCKING right now… Haters
Eh… are either Fotu or Lawrence really that good
YES
Especially over a TE
Come on. A song? Really
TE?
Hawks drafted Fromm
fuck
They didn’t? Unless you are talking about 144 or later.
Parkinson…awful, awful, awful pick.
Oh great. They’re going to play a country song over our pick.
Another head scrather
Not the TE a lot of folks expected.
Pick is in!
What a joke.
Colby Parkinson
Not a bad pick at all.
well thats interesting…
Wtf
Again, didn’t see that coming… the position or the pick
144, 148:
Hall or Robertson
Ganda-Golden or T. Johnson
Wanogho or Adeniji
Always not who we think
Typical
CBSsports.com has the pick. Not what any of us expected.
Lmao worse
Kidding me. No one from anyone’s list. Several other better TEs, even Hunter Bryant. Much rather had DL or DB
Mute
The need for TE makes sense, Olsen and Wilson up there in age, and Dissly has injury concerns
And we have Willson and the other guy…guess were gonna bring in 10 YEs and 20 Oline, but no DTs….
Also, Olsen, Wilson, and Hollister are all in contract years.
A TE that can’t run or block. Brilliant pick…
He must be a real run stuffer, as he has no pass rush…wait…Wut?! A TE….hahaha! Hilarious!
Don’t worry After several hours of being pissed we will justify the pick some how.
Quick scouting report. Who is this guy?
He’s just a big WR. Not really a TE at all to my eye.
Got it, a matchup guy and RZ threat. Thanks.
ahhh yes nfl draft, nothing but football…
Live country music cuts in.
God dammit nfl.
They have Dissy and Olsen who are automatic. Have Hollister and Wilson. How many will make the team? Bad news for Wilson.
Olsen is a hedge. Dissly has major medical question marks. This is a fantastic pick.
That’s an expensive hedge…
A late 4th round pick is expensive?
Hollister could end up being a cap casualty at over $3MM on his qualifier but not guaranteed. Seems like a BPA pick to me.
If this is what I wanted I would tuned into CMT a few channels up.
He’s a red zone threat. Might be a big WR.
He can’t block ya’ll. He’s a flex TE. A bigger version of Chase Claypool.
He’s a worse blocker than Chase Claypool and almost .35 seconds slower. I don’t get it.
Straight line speed has nothing to do with making a receiver good or not.
He will be a HOFer.
He’s way bigger than Claypool and this is round 4
He’s way taller…and I didn’t make the comparison to CLaypool and Jimmy Graham…other people did. It’s an absurd comp.
he can be a dynamic pass catcher if we develop him right.
He runs a 4.77…there’s nothing dynamic about him. Maybe they can make him a functional pass catcher. We need to stop throwing out terms like “dynamic” when there is no trait of his that points to dynamism in the passing gam.e
Maybe we’re turning back into the Nordstrom’s Seahawks, looking more at the payroll than talent and picking guys who’ll get cut and we won’t have to pay.
Develop? We are in a tight window and TE the way we use them grow on trees!
LOL my client just told me to “change it”. He did NOT like that song hahaha
Parkinson is a hugely intriguing pick. Sort of Chase Claypool type. He’s better than Hollister, but also might be a big slot. Will be fun to see how they use him.
Parkinson doesn’t get stonewalled at the one yard line.
That’s exactly what he is.
WOOOOHOOOOOO
I am F*CKING PUMPED
Love this kid’s potential really REALLY wanted him early in the year. Complete stud who just had bad luck being stuck on a terrible stanford team last season.
Great pick, underrated guy. Russ will like him. A+ pick from me. And to Kenny you literally scared the Sh*t out of me by saying fromm…
Seahawks Draft Blog Shitposting
Says the guy who shouted “Fromm!”
(thats the joke big man)
Don’t scare people like that 😂
I don’t know how to feel about this since you hated most of their other picks haha.
Let’s not mischaracterize. I liked the Brooks pick, LOVED the Taylor pick, didn’t like Lewis in the third.
Is that “hating” most of their other picks? Let us be real.
My bad, maybe I had you confused with someone else.
What strange evals
At least Luke Bryan distracted that terrible pick, lol
Unfortunately, the song was also terrible! Good lord, is there no creativity left in music?
Russ is gonna love another huge target. This dude from Stanford is basically a TE/WR hybrid.
Whenever I try to get excited about a Hawks draft they do crap like draft Colby Parkinson. Are we going to have a team of Guards and TE’s
He’s not really a TE Trev.
I live right outside ATL and people are pissed about our pick of Parkinson. Radio said they really like his length
Really really like the Parkinson pick! Well done Schneider.
I like it too. Gives Seattle another weapon, adds size to the offense, and let’s them do some different things.
5thwe string TE, but he didnt drop a pass last yeat
Jimmy Graham lite
He ran nearly a 4.8 40, hardly Graham-like…poor comp, dude.
The height brother the height!!!
The no blocky-block!
Tough crowd
I’m with you STTBM…Jimmy G started our spiral to mediocre by losing the Captain of the OL. I don’t need a fast, slow, crawling TE. My TE needs to block, block and oh yea, block and then leak up the seam 25 times a year for 25 yds and a splash play.
More a blem Funchess?
There’s our WR pick
Heard
That would be our 5th TE I think now to go with our 19 OL!
Parkinson sounds like a basketball player. Bring back our Sonics!
The punishment for hi jacking the Sonics is now complete with the folding of the entire NBA. Bwahahahahaha!!!!
But let’s not mess with the football season
Interesting, we tend to go with the best blockers now we got one that didn’t block in college. Hope they have learned a lesson from the Graham experience and don’t try to make him something he can’t be.
Everyone keeps saying he can’t block, and I haven’t watched him so I don’t know, but ESPN called him a competitive blocker. Is that code for “he tries hard, but he sucks at it?” I like the 6’7” frame though and Stanford apparently threw a lot of 50/50 balls his way and let him go get it.
Get him in the weight room. However a very good receiving threat. Especially in the red zone.
He gives them the big red zone target they had with Jimmy G.
Don’t get the negative reactions here. Sounds like a great redzone threat and another weapon in the passing game. Were in JS zone here so i trust his judgement.
Poona and Reed weren’t enough last year, and we’ve added no DTs, that’s why…
And none of the remaining DTs are going to be difference makers. Any who could have been were picked before Seattle had the chance to draft again.
Calm down. There are plenty of veteran FAs out there. The draft can’t solve every problem.
Apologies. Out of line for me to use the phrase “calm down.” You’re entitled to your reaction.
Dotson to the Steelers. Not that we needed him any more cause we got Lewis.
Never bought the 7th round value talk
a 6’7″ te with good hands in 4th. OK ill bite.
6’7” move TE, apparently catches well too and good short area quickness agility. Sounds like a good red zone threat.
Looks like a project as a blocker, but an immediate contributor as a pass catcher. Essentially a [very] big wide receiver in 2020.
Yes he comps to Jimmy Graham. Jimmy Graham was pretty good for us as a receiver. If we had gotten Graham for a fourth we would have loved him. Just don’t ask Colby to block too much.
Welp. They’re the same height and…
Guy I don’t get the Claypool comp for Parkinson. They are nothing alike physically. One guy is a freak and other other guy is not a great athlete. Parkinson is good in the red zone and using his body to create space but I don’t see him as an upgrade to anything we have on the roster.
Maybe they can save some $ and let Hollister and Wilson walk not sure the logic with this pick.
Nah he’s not Chase, he’s Jimmy Graham
Jimmy Graham is nothing like Parkinson physically except for the height.
40 Yard Dash: 4.53 seconds
Vertical Leap: 38.5 inches
Three Cone: 6.90 seconds
Colby Parkinson
40 Yard Dash: 4.77 seconds
Vertical Leap: 32.5 inches
Three Cone: 7.15 seconds
Sure – but what were Jimmy’s measurables when the Seahawks acquired him. I bet they were a lot worse at that point.
Not even close.
A) Jimmy Graham made us a worse offense despite being a good player.
B) He’s nothing like Jimmy Graham. Not even in the same solar system.
What do you think Rob? Feel like I waited all this time for this? Like that old line “I shaved my b#$ls for this?” Feels comparable to the 1st round letdown, but at least it’s the late 4th.
Chill back watch some some highlights and admire his height physique and beautiful hair
Steelers get another awesome OL option if Kevin Dotson of Louisiana, all-star of Shrine game week, just after us.
CaptainJack, we needed DL or DB, not a 5th TE.
A flex TE/WR like Hunter Bryant, blog favorite, but bigger 6’7″ 252, longer arms, and a big red zone threat. Also ran a good 3-cone at 4.46 (same as Bryant)
I like it as a futures pick at TE who could replace Willson or Hollister as TE3 or TE4 this year and be a 1-2 punch with a (hopefully) healthy Dissly next year.
Such a big RZ threat that he has all of 1 TD last year. Also, I think with Jimmy Graham, the Seahawks showed they don’t necessarily know how to use height (1 year couldn’t get TDs, next year couldn’t get yards).
You all think Dissly might redshirt?
My buddy’s little bro plays for Stanford and says Parkinson’s a leader, one of the alphas on the team.
I just didn’t want another te
Has the respect of the wholeteam
Olsen is a one year thing. Dissly’s knees are a major question-mark. Parkinson brings a different element than Hollister with his size. Willson is over the hill.
Thank you. Everything they have at TE is a question mark
Another alpha type with leadership credentials. That’s the theme this year.
You know who else fits that… Amik!
An Alpha that can’t block as a TE…c’mon guys.
I’m interested in this 3 te redzone package with olsen, dissly, Parkinson.
Guys Parkinson is not Jimmy Graham or Claypool. He is a below average athlete. He has Will Dissly speed and none of the blocking ability. I want to like the pick but I had him as an UDFA at best. Hope I am wrong and he is a star but I don’t see it.
Overview
He’ll be listed as a tight end, but he’s a big receiver who can be released into routes as a wingback, slot or wideout. He was much more productive in the red zone in 2018, but he didn’t always have functional throws to work with. He runs well for a pass-catching tight end and has the athletic traits to attack on all three levels. He’s almost automatic on the easy catches and has ball skills to rescue some of the harder ones. Teams looking for him to check the run-blocking box will need to keep it moving. Parkinson may be a little polarizing, but appears to be a field-stretching flex tight end with above-average playmaking ability down the field and near the goal line.
He’s slower than Drew Sample…he does not “run well for a pass catching TE.”
Guys…can we be realistic?
THANK YOU. My God some of these comments are amazing. There is nothing dynamic about him other than being tall.
I am with you. I just hope that he can work arround those obvious weaknesses. In the redzone you don’t need 4.4 speed to create seperation. This is a 4th round guy that has to play special teams to secure a roster spot imo.
He’ll be used in exactly the same way Claypool would’ve been. What’s Russ’ strengths? Throwing the 50/50 red line balls and his fastball doen the seam.
Would you comp him to David Funchess? A bit slower, less explosive, same role.
And significantly cheaper in terms of draft capital.
Yeah I imagine Atlanta were seeing flashbacks of Tony Gonzalez. Tough titty Falcons. Nice Red zone Target for Russ.
Rams just took a TE. Maybe we scooped them on Parkinson?
Don’t let what a team does in FA fool ya. Most of yhose signings are hedges anyways.
Did you notice this guy’s 3-cone time? Welcome to our newest DE project! 6-7 with quick feet, he’ll swallow o-linemen in one gulp! Our version of Calais Campbell.
So with Brooks. Lewis and Parkinson, do they cut Britt, Fluker, KJ, Hollister? That opens up about 20M.
I doubt we cut all of those guys but probably 1 or 2. In a season w shortened prep I think teams are going to try and have some vets around.
Did we just draft a young Jimmy Graham?
Basically , just not as fast.
Dude, this guys 40 is nearly a half-second slower than Grahams. He’s a comp to Graham now, after injuries…
Apologies, I was wrong. I misremembered Graham as a 4.4 40, he was 4.5 something…still, Parkinson is nowhere near the deep threat Graham was….
oh no. Houston took Charlie Heck. Andy Heck’s son. I remember when the Hawks drafted Andy. Good grief I’m getting old.
Didn’t know he was Andy’s kid. I remember Andy being drafted too….now, get those kids off my lawn lol!
People always talk about Rick Mirer being a bust. They fail to forget they traded Mirer for a 1st round pick and that pick turned out to be Andy Heck (who had a solid career). So, in reality, Mirer wasn’t a bust because he provided a 1st round pick who turned out okay.
Wut? Heck drafted in 1989…
Kid is a RZ threat. 6’7″/250lbs and moves well. Won’t ever be a blocker though… Looks like he has made plays out of the backfield as well. Does he bump Hollister or Willson off the roster or does he end up a “WR” a la Tanner McEvoy was?
That’s the question. Wilson most likely has very low salary as Hollisters is much higher. I could see them moving on from Hollister.
Joe Jurevicius?
Loved Joe. If we get Jurevicius player in Parkinson… wow.
Me too! He’s tall with hands and looks like JJ in the end zone.
No. He was a vicious blocker for the Seahawks in ’05. I know he was drafted as a TE but he was a WR for the Hawks.
But doesn’t that sound like a possibility for CP too?
Other than the blocking
Anyone have Snack Harrison’s phone number?
I’m comfortable with the Parkinson pick.
Was really highly regarded going into 2019.
And still SO MANY good players on the board.
Bingo.
It’s an intriguing pick.
Vol I think he is the first guy in all my years on the blog with you that we completely disagree on 🙂 I hope you are right and I am wrong.
All good man. I don’t think he’ll light the world on fire or anything, but in the 4ry round you can do a lot worse from a size and upside standpoint.
He did burn the Huskies on 3rd down too much. There’s that.
Stoked we got Parkinson
I mocked him to us nearly every time.
I think he’ll be the first NFL player to ask for his salary in Bitcoin, every team needs a NERD.
Lol
Guys enough with the Jimmy Graham comps. They are is nothing alike physically except for the height. Both are 6-7
Graham
40 Yard Dash: 4.53 seconds
Vertical Leap: 38.5 inches
Three Cone: 6.90 seconds
Colby Parkinson
40 Yard Dash: 4.77 seconds
Vertical Leap: 32.5 inches
Three Cone: 7.15 seconds
He is not a blocking TE and how many receiving threats in the NFL run a 4.77 40yd.
I think the comps are more based on how we’re gonna use him as a red zone/50-50 guy. It’s not always about matching testing numbers.
Both Ertz and Hooper (Stanford TEs) ran in the 4.7’s.
Brett, you gotta stop letting facts get in the way of a good narrative!!
Not many TEs are going to be in a 40 yard race in a NFL game, and if they are they’re a 1st round pick. For TEs you need to look at the 3 cone and short shuttle. Graham scored 10 TDs his last season here on post up jump balls. Russell loved those. That’s what we’re going for here, in the 4th round.
Per PFF, Parkinson didn’t drop a single pass last year. Russ is gonna like this guy. I think Willson for sure and probably Hollister are on notice. Maybe we end up flipping Hollist for a pick over the summer.
Theme of FA this year was ‘Hedging’
And they got their guys or they wouldn’t have added to those same positions.
Yup, and they didn’t cut players so as not to tip their hand.
Agree, also think they will hold onto some of those hedges until they get some late rounders back, at least a couple.
I love this pick, big WR/TE redzone threat with good hands,
Seems like were loading up on positions were loaded at probably getting a qb, rb and olinemen with are other picks lol
What is funny to me is so many people wanted bryant and are now calling parkinson a bad pick because he’s a slow pass catching tight end. Hunter Bryant is also no blocker, and has major drops. Hunter Bryant is 6’2 and runs 4.74. Parkinson is a tad slower at 4.77 but is 6 freakin 7, and has better hands. Dissly ran in the 4.8s but no one here was complaining about how slow he was when he was tearing up the rams and cardinals early in this season.
This is just another solid tight end from stanford. Nothing to complain about in round four.
If I’m ever mad at a pick it’s because I didnt see it coming.
Kenny, I also would have loved your guy Breeland.
I would’ve felt a little better because I actually mentioned him and he’s a duck but thats about it.
Can’t go wrong with a gigantic TE. Think of how the Vikings beat the Saints in the play-offs last year. They simply threw to a TE who was 5 feet taller than the defender covering him. Can’t coach a guy to be taller than everyone else and the advantage that goes with it.
Whenever I see a TE that can’t block though – I get these flashbacks of all the times they tried making Graham block (and he couldn’t). Could be a steal in round four if they don’t ask him to do things he can’t do.
Colby doesn’t just have serious height, he’s got serious hands. Straight line speed doesn’t matter as much when you’re seven inches taller than the average DB and can catch anything
Problem is like Jimmy Graham – he contributes ZERO to the run game. He’s just half the athlete of Graham.
Listen, I’m all for thinking he can contribute, but this idea that this pick is simply brilliant and he’s a Jimmy Graham clone are Jim Jones level of fanaticism.
if he does not block and just catches 50-50 balls for td’s, he is a Jimmy Graham clone. When did Jimmy’s 4.5 speed ever manifest itself in Seattle?
Oh…Dissly was drafted as a no blocking, pass catching TE. Good to know.
There is no comparison to make between Dissly and Parkinson – completely different players.
It’s ironic you say this because I was never that impressed with Dissly’s blocking on the hawks. Adequate but nothing amazing. It’s different going up against pros. Was a much better pass catcher in the pros than he was in college, mainly because he went from catching Browning passes to Wilson passes.
When coming out of college – he was considered a great blocker.
I actually do agree that his blocking hasn’t been great in Seattle. Then again, not surprising for a young player.
I know he was considered a blocking guy out of college. That is why I found your comment ironic.
Chiefs get faster
The whiners will be scary, so will the Ravens.
These are the RDs. (4-5) Hawks have found gold! In JS/JC we trust!
Hopefully Parkinson bumps Hollister and his 3 mil salary. All I have etched in my head is his undersized frame getting stonewalled at the 1 ft line, dropping a couple 3rd down passes, and fumbling the first ball thrown to him against Green Bay. He was our 2019 Rudy.
It would be great if the TV could catch up with the actual draft.
According to PFF Parkinson did not drop a SINGLE pass in 2019. I am an avid Huskies fan and Hunter Bryant dropped countless easy passes from Eason. People need to stop complaining when the hawks draft a good player they overlooked in the draft process.
+1 on the drops
Hey STTBM
What u think of Cards getting Lawrence, then we go move-TE?
Bye, bye, Amik
dammit… just a few more spots
🙁
Thank you DJ.
Down the seam and 50/50 jump balls that can make plsys in the red zone. Sounds a lot like how a certain QB operates.
And he fits that profile they like from a 3 cone standpoint.
The two teams you could argue have had the best off seasons (Arizona and SF) are in the NFC West. That really sucks.
The Rams have gone from the Super Bowl to the least talented roster in the division in less than 2 yrs.
There goes Willson
Ghost roster
Who?
Oh never mind, just got it. Thought you were referring to a prospect just drafted.
Wilson is ranked like 110th out of the top 100 TEs in the league. I’m sure he would gladly come off the couch in a pinch for the 2020 season. I’m hoping it also means Hollister won’t be catching or dropping passes as Russell’s Kearse like security blanket this coming season
AV Club.
Bummer. Really wanted Amik on the hawks. Loved his interview with Rob.
I’m sad that Amik is gone, glad he’s in the AFC. Mayock knows what he’s doing.
Had a feeling Mayock might like the kid.
He fits the traits they’ve heavily emphasised. I love how they’re building, will be rooting for them.
I like the pick. You definitely can’t teach that size. Great hands
Well Amik is gone to the Raiders. Parkinson finally got his highlights shown 10 min. after we picked him, looks ok, just tall, mentions he needs to get stronger to block. Reminds me of tall Jesse James a couple years ago with the Steelers.
Amik off the board to the raiders-shit! Really wanted that dude. Now 4 of Rob’s wish list left and with the Parkinson pick kind of eliminates H Bryant from consideration so that leaves N Harris, J Reed, and B Hall from Rob’s list left.
Damn Parkinson can even throw the ball decent for trick plays
That leaves Bryce Hall for us. Maybe they will wait until the 5th which is ther CB round.
every year seems like they commercial break Seattle maybe we come back in time for a didi by Madonna
“Exceptional hair” and does not fly planes.
Lol.
That flow is impressive and he does own a boat.
Can’t believe Cards snatched Rashard Lawrence and we drafted a move TE….whatcha think?
Hopefully DL and WR in next 2 picks
At this point in the draft, you need to go BPA. Players generally picked here aren’t impact guys right away. These are developmental guys for 2021. If DT and WR are the next two picks (I’d be fine with that), I hope it’s DT with the next pick because then that would mean they won’t be taking a WR in the 4th round. It’s like they are great at 5th round DBs and the opposite is 4th round WRs. lol
Good points Bobby!
It pisses me off that when the Hawks pick they cut out to a long winded country star, WTF!
I think we might be cutting a few players to take advantage of the remaining FA. KJ, Britt and now Hollister.
Small run on corners here.
Amik and Reid, this is tough to watch.
Tanner McEvoy
Height: 6060
Weight: 223
40-yard dash: N/A
Vertical jump: 33.5″
Broad jump: 9’9″
Pro agility: 4.25
3-cone drill: 6.84
Bench press: 16
That’s what I was saying above regarding Parkinson… I think he’ll be a matchup problem. LBs might not have speed straight line and CBs might not have size against him
OMG I’d forgot about Tanner, what a man.
Bigger and much better hands than Tanner
I have a really good feeling about this pick
DT and another DE
Yes please!
Another possible nickel CB gone in John Reid to the Texans.
Good choice of Centers here
Tyler B maybe
Is it just me or do we draft an extremely high number of religious players?
They draft plenty of guys opposite of that, too.
Most football players are religious
Probably HAVE to be religious to get through the backgrounds these guys grew up with.
So this guy is more of a receiver than a tight end. So another receiver picked by the Hawks in the 4th round? History is not on his side guys.
Technically, he’s a TE so it’s all good. Dissly was a stud (when healthy) 4th round TE so I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt here.
Whew
Gimme Bryce Hall. R2 grade.
He may not play for years
I wonder if Seattle is going with 5 WRs and 4 TEs on the official roster this year?
I think that is almost a certainty.
I’m guessing Benito Jones
I thought there were other prospects at other positions who would make more sense, mostly because TE isn’t an immediate need relative to other positions. The TE room is full, even if not long term, and next year’s TE class looks to be much deeper. But I’m not opposed to Parkinson. He’s an intriguing TE prospect from TE U.
Upon deeper reflection of the first 2 days, I’m pretty happy with the players we got. If you’d have told me before that we would come out of the first 3 rounds with Brooks, Tayor and Lewis I’d have been happy. So I am happy. I think Lewis is one of the best OGs in one of the best IOL classes in years. I think he’ll be a pro bowl RG for SEA for many seasons. Great value in R3. My instant objection yesterday was more about the position than the player. We have too many holes on the DL that remain unfilled.
I agree with others who think that the Brooks and Taylor picks will look very similar to the Wagner and Clark picks in a season or two. No doubt those two will dramatically improve the aggressiveness and effectiveness of SEA’s defense next season.
The results of the first two days is a reminder not to fall in love with any particular prospect because you’re likely to get your heart broken. I love Jonathan Taylor, but I’m not that upset SEA didn’t take him. It would’ve been a luxury pick in a year when we can’t afford luxuries. But I really had my heart set on Robert Hunt and to a lesser extent Davon Hamilton, so it was a bitter pill watching them go elsewhere when SEA could’ve taken them. But like I said, I’m cool with Brooks and Taylor.
Who’s next?
Hall and Prince Tega pls
There’s their RB.
Who?
Who…lol
Believe Rob said Dallas was a possibility later
I’ll cut to the chase:
“Deejay Dallas is a brilliant pick and is a lot like Adrian Peterson.”
Incredible that we landed Jimmy Graham AND Adrian Peterson today.
LOL.
Lol
Ok we get it Matt. You are smarter than PC/JS and their draft sucks. Now shut up.
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying.
In no way am I making fun of people on this board who are acting like Jim Jones acolytes telling me Colby Parkinson is a Jimmy Graham clone.
And now Khalil Mack. Incredible day for this club.
I’ll cut to the chase:
“Worst pick in history! This team will only win 1 game next year! They aren’t picking the guys I like! Fire Pete and John! Trade Russ for picks!”
Nailed it!!!! I’ve always thought this was a 1 win team – not a 7 win roster with a 12 win QB. Nailed it bud.
They fkn skipped us again
Uncle!
Hadn’t looked at him in some time….he fits what they look for in toughness and has some versatility to get on the field and find his back up moments. But still, Damn we have greater needs. Getting excited for UDFA season!
We identified him, but I didn’t really like him much.
Awesome name. Don’t know anything about him.
I guess the Hawks love Miami RBs.
At least he’s big fast and talented RB, but wanted DL/DB, maybe in 3 picks with our rd. 5 pick #2.
He runs a 4.58…
When did 4.77 and 4.58 become fast on this board? I’m sorry but what?
“He has size, speed and a surprising amount of pop as a finisher.” Didn’t say he had Jon Taylor or Cam Akers speed or he might’ve gone day 1 or 2, would rather we waited until rd. 6 to get a RB. I wanted a DL or DB.
“At least hes big fast and talented…”
That’s what I was commenting on.
Deejay Dallas had 3 rushes that went. Over 50 yards each in. 2019 most in ACC
Well, Dallas was on Rob’s big board. There is our insurance RB I guess. Would have loved to have taken Hall there however.
Could still at 148
First thing I see when loomi g for him…5’10” 220
I have no recollection of this guy whatsoever. At least the Stanford guy I remember from the Pac 12 and burning the Huskies.
Converted receiver who can really catch outta the backfield.
Doesn’t sound like a guy who runs through people. But I’ll watch some tape.
Thanks
He’s a bowling ball, the defenders are the pins. He’s got great contact balance.
He doesn’t shy from contact. Lowers his shoulder, shifty
They like those Miami backs.
I look at him this way; he’s the back who couldn’t beat out Travis Homer at Miami last year.
He fits the prototype, not what I was hoping for though.
MarinoCrabbs
PROS: Runs angry with square pads, forward lean and a willingness to explode into contact. Feet keep moving through contact and he packs a punch. Has adequate acceleration to and through the hole. Illustrates good contact balance and the ability to fall forward. Power in the lower half is notable and it takes an honest tackling effort to get him down. Background as a wide receiver shows up when he was given chances to catch the football and he could be more productive catching the football and the next level. Willing pass protector. Has the makeup of a quality special teams contributor.
CONS: Can tell he’s still calculated pressing the line of scrimmage and is still new to the position. Has to develop more patience and the ability to anticipate creases. Needs to do more with his feet and angles to manipulate defenders and help him create more advantageous opportunities to make people miss. Clearly still learning the economy of motion. Needs to develop his processing skills in pass protection. Won’t be confused as sudden or twitchy.
BEST TRAIT – Competitive Toughness
WORST TRAIT – Technique
Christ alive, we spent a 4th rounder on the guy who will be spinning the tunes at training camp.
Well played, sir. That made me laugh.
LOL
Dallas seems like a pretty solid under the radar guy.
A running back. Don’t know who he is. AwsiDooger fill us in mate!
I really want to get a center
Lewis and Finney can play there
Biadaz?…
We have Fi net, Britt, Hunt, Pocic. No more interior please.
Pocic is also an option
All he has to do is be better then Homer if the other two get injured, but….not exactly exciting. Not a lot of speed, doesn’t seem to excel at anything. This kind of screams ‘we take a guy now or miss out completely’.
Physically tough and mentally tough. Had fumbling issues, saw a shrink to see if that would help. Was a very highly regarded recruit.
Has the size and willingness. Solid pick.
Will be a good special teamer. Good returner which is def a need.
My take on our 4th round picks is that we could have gotten both as UDFA and neither will be in the roster in 2 yrs time. Seems like a great use if draft capital.
Well at least we got 3 studs early in the draft. I am going to focus on that.
Very much hate this 4th round…Seattle also doesn’t have a history of butchering it either…
I am always confused by this criticism (I am not coming at you, I am sincerely confused by the thought process). I get disagreeing with a pick for x reason. PCJS are not infallible and deserve to be questioned but I have to question when people say “we could have had Jordyn Brooks in the 3rd” or Colby Parkinson and Deejay Dallas would be UDFAs. How do you know? Do you honestly think that Seattle believed they’d be there at pick 214 but just thought ok well we will waste a pick for fun?
Which team do you work for again?
Both these guys were mocked by the media to the 4th or 5th so I wondering why young you know more than NFL teams or the media
Now they can tap into WR since it’s not the 4th round anymore!
Hopefully this guy will do what Prosise couldn’t… be the receiving threat at RB (since he was a WR) that can create some mismatches.
Honestly we should probably expect less in terms of team needs and more in terms of BPA at this point. 4th round+ I think teams are just going BPA on their board cause almost none of these guys here are day 1 impact guys especially in a prep shortened season. Mostly just want guys you think can develop the best to contribute over time.
Right in their Size wheelhouse. Special Teams contributor, returned punts I think, quite well IIRC
Reminds me of Thomas Rawls.
Just not Harris…Biadasz?
agree Biadasz and Cephus good players stood up well against OSU
So we draft another fumbler at RB? Great lmaoooooo
NO he had 0 fumbles last year
He went to see a psychologist about his fumbling issues & was ‘cured’. Paging Chris Carson!
People are just clicking on the first link they see when they google him, then try and make a comment about the fumble issue to make it sound like they know what they’re talking about. Maybe take a minute or two to look past the headline, lol.
1. Humor is still okay right?
2. It was zero on 115 carries
3. Please tell me you had him on your 4th round short list so I can an laugh. You’re not an expert because you read just a little more than most. Nice try tho
Never heard of him
Rob had him on the board in the 6th. New to the position could be a stud or dud.
He was a Danny Kelly sleeper, so that part I like
Biadasz is who i wanted
Could still be there in a bit.
I’m ok with that even tho it means 20 online lol!
Cow pies got him
Pooop!
Are Parkinson or Dallas really good special teamers?
Not really special athletes.
For most ppl saying they don’t know anything about him… He was a QB and then WR… he’s not a bellcow, but a mismatch change of pace. Like what Prosise was supposed to be those couple games in his NFL career he wasn’t hurt for. Remember Prosise against the Patriots a few years ago? That’s the type of receiving threat they’re getting here. They’re not getting a guy who’s going to carry the ball 15 times per game. I’m fine with this pick.
He’s much more physical than Prosise too.
He was a top 15 athlete in the entire nation coming out of high school
From the nfl.com player bio:
Miami signed Dallas out of Georgia’s Glynn Academy as one of the top 15 athlete prospects in the country.
He has a career 5.8 ypc. Good size
No one really heard of Carson either.
Carson was a great find, and to a lesser extent, Homer feels like a great find.
Homer cracks me up witj his running style. Reminds me of how Clyde Drexler was on a breakaway.
That visual made me laugh. How great was Clyde the glide?
Carson was a 7th round pick. If Dallas was a 7th, I wouldn’t be upset. Remember that to have this guy on the roster, we passed up Bryce Hall.
How is he a mismatch?
He played WR and RB at Miami. Had some fumbling issues in 2018, but “The mental work that Dallas put in before his junior year paid off; he led the Hurricanes in rushing in 2019 (115-693-6.0, eight TDs) and did not fumble once. He also contributed in the passing game (14-140-10.0, two TDs)”
Not as zippy as Prosise, but maybe he’ll be available day in and day out
That was his only great game
Eagles game where he got broken was going well lol!
Procise i mean
Boy I am glad we didn’t use a third next year to trade up for Prince wangotango. Hardyhar
Common guys stay positive, draft day lottery tickets results will know after 2 or 3 years.
Next DT or DB
Can’t believe we drafted a slow as shit CB in the 5th in Sherman, and a total unknown RB in the 7th in Chris Carson! Schneider must be insane not to use my totally professional personal big board. /s
And the hobbit QB and the safety who is too slow and stiff
Post 60 times and never say anything interesting
Seahawks 💵💵💵 round on deck!
How does DeeJay comp to Mike Davis?
Petey is gonna grab his corner next huh?
Bryce Hall?
KJ Hill or Proche plz Or Hall
My 2 minutes of being a horrible human being:
NFL/ESPN needs to either host a draft party or a benefit, not both, simultaneously.
Agreed. Rings hollow Goodell…
+1. This is unwatchable. I’ve had it on mute just following the bottom of the screen.
It’s like free therapy for the leagues notable employees at the expense of the sports fans who want something other than the 24/7 reminder.
Right. I don’t want to hear that Sean Peyton’s symptoms have subsided and then have him asked 2 follow up questions on it while the Seahawks make their pick.
Dallas gets their replacement center, biadiszhsfdhd
I love we keep getting guys at RB that finishes his runs. Who doesn’t love a hard hitting back that punishes people.
I want a trade down
Interesting note about Deejay, he ran the exact same 40 time as Chris Carson with a 4.58.
Matt thinks that’s a perfect comp.
🙂
Not nearly as explosive.
I know. Was making a joke about bad comps.
No but more versatile. And possibly a better overall athlete.
He’s going to be a top 5 RB in the NFL this year.
Just trying to fit in with the comment section today – I won’t dare disagree with any more picks.
Just realized the Tender Hollister signed is not guaranteed and Willson has not guaranteed $ so the Parkinson pick makes more sense in that regard. They have two good blockers in Dissly and Olsen. As a pass catcher and red zone threat Parkinson should have at least as good and likely more upside than Willson or Hollister.
yeah he was brought in to challenge hollster as a move TE
Right. They were hedges against the draft.
Thank you Lord!!!!
Biadasz to the Cowboys…
alton Robinson DE
Finally another pass rusher
Fuck Dallas!
This is a little hostile for a player who just got drafted in the fourth…
/sarcasm
I can work with Alton Robinson
On his taxes?
Interesting. Robinson is a high ceiling-low floor boom-or-bust DE prospect.
Positives: Athletic pass rusher with big upside. Smooth, fluid and very agile. Plays with terrific pad level, gets a lot of momentum going up the field and easily bends off the edge. Good athlete who works his hands throughout the action and easily changes direction and redirects to the play. Fluidly moves in every direction, can pursue from the back side and covers a good amount of area.
Negatives: Struggles to get off blocks and gets easily taken from the play. Has tackles broken and struggles to bring opponents down at the point of attack. Must improve his strength.
Analysis: After tremendous junior campaign, Robinson watched his production fall off last season and was the second-best pass rusher on the Syracuse roster. He’s a terrific athlete with great upside, but he must physically mature and continue to develop his game to have a career at the next level.Producehawk
Though I would’ve thought they were higher on Trevis Gipson than Robinson. But hey, I’m not complaining.
YES… Love this pick
Another edge – Alton Robinson
Alton Robinson is a fine pick. I can at least understand this one.
Both Alton and Taylor have some growth to be sure, but quick off the line and ability to turn and flatten to the QB…..Now, DT please! Benito or Broderick and always, let’s call Mebane!
Seems like we addressed the kick returner and RB depth with on pick there, starting to feel a little better about addressing needs this year instead of 2-3 years down the road.
Huge project. Best first step in the class though.
In other words…taxi squad for at least a year.
Disagree. Not a stud immediately, but productive and ascending thru the season.
Missed the pick because I was being reminded of the horrors of the pandemic.
I hope not in a personal way mishima
Ha. No, Sean Payton interview.
Glad you’re feeling better. Hope all is well.
Better but still not back to normal. I have daily “relapses” where I’ll get feverish and feel like total crap (bad headache, sweats, brain fog) all of a sudden for anywhere from an hour to several hours. It’s the weirdest thing.
Morbid draft is morbid
Another player identified by Rob and on the big board.
Yeah, just looked. Rob had a pretty decent grade on him.
Watch Robinsons 2018 tape, dude was a monster that season.
I absolutely love this pick. It’s the fifth round so there are no sure things. But I love this pick!
This has been my favorite pick this draft. I’m not at all saying he’s better than any of our picks on the first two days – but based on where he was picked here… great pick. Will probably see nothing from him in 2020, but this is a nice pick for 2021. I really like it.
Great value.
Yes, great value based on location and he was one of my targets! That said, there are NO sure picks outside of the to 5 every year….it’s an educated crap shoot!
Seattle got Alton Robinson?!?
Talk about overcoming adversity.
Why do they TV producers hate the people that actually enjoy watching the draft?
Save this 10 minute Sean Payton interview for SportsCenter and lets give the best moment of these kids lives some attention!
Twitched-up edge rusher with exciting potential to become a disruptive factor in NFL backfields with a more skilled and willful approach. Robinson has the burst and bend to become a pass rushing problem for tackles early in his career, but his approach is too “one-trick” and needs workable counters to become less predictable. As a run defender, he has enough strength, but lacks consistent technique and instincts. He’s worthy of consideration as a designated rusher while he smooths out the kinks and could take a big leap forward with better skill and control.
very solid pick for a team looking for pass rushers with good value in round 5. I like it!
So far I think the seahawks are killing it day three.
“Twitched-up?”
Realistic takes are off the table today.
I’m pumped for when we take WR Cephus and get descriptions like “human missile who ran a 4.68.”
Come on man lol
I’m sincerely only poking fun of the descriptions today. It’s getting overboard.
I like Robinson. It’s a nice pick and he has some good athleticism.
Your Cephus comment is great man. lol
Here’s another dirty secret…I actually kind of like the Parkinson pick from the perspective of “he can contribute on 3rd down and in the Red Zone.”
I just lose my mind when we jump to “great athlete…a lot like Jimmy Graham.”
I’m a lot like Brad Pitt minus the looks, wealth, and acting career.
We could be twins!
That’s literally the Lance Zierlein analysis from nfl.com
4.32 short shuttle
35.5 inch vertical
4.69 40
Great project to take on in the fifth
I really like the pick.
We are simply making fun of some of the descriptions being thrown around today.
I’m actually trying to hurt people’s feelings.
LOL
BTW the first paragraph is from Lance not me…
Nap time… We don’t pick for a LONG time. hahaha
Frozen pizza done, I’m out!
Thank you again for all the brilliant draft coverage!
Loving that all the picks today are on the Seahawks big board you posted at the top of this! Excellent work!
I like the pick too, Hi Bobby
Howdy!
Time for more old FA DTs, which I’m fine with since they are good at those signings. Maybe old friend Mebane can be a 1-year band-aid. I just don’t see Ford as a solid starter for too many snaps (fine with situational snaps).
Another SDB player to watch is picked in Alton Robinson!!! Way to go Rob. That’s three at least in Lewis, Dallas, and Robinson.
Benito Jones at 214?
Hope he lasts but doubt it. Looked good at Senior bowl week.
One player who is probably really happy right now is Nazair Jones. Might be a faith of confidence from the coaching staff that he can a major part of the d-line rotation, if he stays healthy. Also brings some confidence to Demarcus Christmas as well.
We pick in the sixth right? I hope it’s a DT
I doubt they have much faith in Jones, they’ll sign a veteran and he’ll have to earn a spot.
If they do, it might be for the 1 tech, not the 3 tech.
I still have faith in Naz……lingering, but just optimistic!
I’ve never been this informed about a draft before
My gut says Robinson is going to be the late round Seahawks guy that makes surprise contributions this year. Just a feeling.
Could be. Robinson was a guy I always targeted in that mock draft simulator (that I must have done over 100 times) with one of my 4th round picks. It’s funny, because in many of my mocks… I’d take Taylor with their Earl Thomas pick and Robinson with one of the 4th round picks.
Funny thing is — that’s exactly what the Seahawks did in real life! Except they traded up for Taylor (no complaints).
RB and DE seem like good value picks. I especially like a DE with big athletic ability….high potential is the way to go…
Sea Mode, how do I find posts from the archives in a quick fashion?
type sit
