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 site:seahawksdraftblog.com into the google search and then the keywords you are searching for after that.
Thank you
👀
Colby Parkinson said the Seahawks told him he will be a true Y TE.
He’s at 254 lbs right now and said his frame can hold up to 260, so that’s what he’s slowly working towards while maintaining his athleticism.
I am surprised they haven’t taken a WR though. They did talk up Ursa and what he had done in practices late last year. The starters are as solid as anyone with two studs in Lockett and DK… but I thought they’d tap into this draft class.
Good draft for them but not really a need. That would be my view point. If they take on ok but not necessary.
Still guys like Peoples-Jones, Proche and Watkins. KJ Hill possibly too.
O-line now
Robinson similar in size to Taylor, about 6’3″ 260. Robinson has slightly shorter arms. Taylor is a litter quicker but similar players.
Love the Robinson pick. I live in Syracuse and he’s be a disruptive beast for the Orange the last 3 years. His junior year was better as the team did better, but that said he was still disruptive at times this past year.
I just took a look at his highlight reel. He has some crazy reps, just completely schooling guys with speed but in a pretty strong frame.
I noted he was almost always on the left side, so he doesn’t seem to have positional versatility yet.
He wasn’t touched much on his sacks, almost all outside moves against inferior college right tackles.
Looks like he’ll have a lot of work to do to learn inside fighting.
So what I’d see is he’s probably an EDGE on passing downs, in NASCAR packages. Not bad for the place he was chosen in. Potential is pretty high, too.
I like the draft picks but I’m confused as to why they have to bring in a bunch of free agents at offensive line and tight end and even linebacker, when they were intending to draft them anyway??? I just don’t get the thinking. Yes it makes the pick not that critical – but they were going to pick them anyway. This is especially irritating at guard. Do they really need to waste free agent money at that position when they are so easy to get in the draft?
Aside from Dissly, they don’t have any of their main TEs under contract for 2021. And Dissly doesn’t have a good medical history anymore. I can totally see the rationale for it.
A lot of it had to do with competition and some of the signings have little/zero guaranteed money. Regarding TE specifically, Willson and Hollister have ZERO guaranteed and that could free up $3.2M
You can find a Hollister or Willson, whenever.
Olson, Dissly, Parkinson (Flex), maybe Hollister (FB/TE) for 2020.
Hedge, draft, cut, sign.
It’s going to be Thunderdome with these guys–a huge bloodbath of competition. And I think if the rookies show any promise they’ll probably cut many of the vets with not a whole lot of money tied up in them.
If the tight end isn’t durable enough to take hits and make yardage – I don’t really see the point. I would say that tight end is the most under utilized position in this offense. They do show flashes of wanting to throw to the tight ends, but it s a rare occurrence. Even when Jimmy Graham played for them – it took over a year for them to figure out you should throw to him in the end zone.
Draft wise they would be better off finding a third go to receiver. Or start drawing up plays for the tight ends.
Belt and suspenders method of team building.
Me too. I really like Malik Turner, despite his two huge drops late last season. I wonder if he’s got injuries…hole they bring him back now!
Pretty sure they already brought him back
Cool!
Was supposed to be a reply to Bobbyk, WTF?!
I’m not poo-pooing every pick today. I like Alton Robinson – it’s a nice pick in R5. I feel confident he will contribute in some way in the NFL.
Just to be clear – I’m poking fun at some of the descriptions being thrown around today. I love the optimism…I can’t stand the hyperbole.
I am with you 100% on today Matt. I am going to focus on the positives the rest of the day though.
Kind of a disingenuous take. Most of the comps were role comps. No ones saying these dudes are actual pro bowlers or whatever.
I’m sure it’s not a fair comment to some folks – and I don’t mind comps.
Parkinson certainly looks like Jimmy Graham’s body type and has amazing hands. He’s just .25 seconds slower.
Fair. It’s just not a good look to complain about hyperbole and in same breadth completely exaggerate other people’s points. If you want reasonable discussion then put out reasonable takes.
Fair enough – perhaps I’m just keeping the consistent theme of pissing everybody off this weekend.
*I do appreciate you providing a constructive reply to what I actually wrote. I mean that sincerely. I’m getting defensive because people are accusing me of “you think you’re smart than PC/JS” or “you think this is a 1 win team.” Never said any of those things. It’s just ricidulous.
So again – I appreciate the constructive reply, sincerely.
It’s cool. I just think this comment section should be a healthier platform for discourse than like twitter or FG whatever. It doesn’t help when people are twisting each others points all over the place.
Might help to think if you’re getting defensive why others are getting defensive as well. If someone makes a comp you disagree with, and you just rip on them and say they’re ridiculous then they’ll probably get defensive as well and thus a cycle begins. If you think you are right just bring up what you think are valid points without fussing it up.
Totally fair.
“I can’t stand the hyperbole.”
Hi, Pot. It’s the kettle… you’re black.
Oh yea…you’re Scottie from above who lacks reading comprehension skills, right?
Weren’t you the one who implied that I said this is a 1 win team because I didn’t like their 4th round pick? Lecture someone else, bro.
Matt are you just an a-hole on weekends or is it full time thing?
Apparently I’ve been an a-hole just during this draft.
This may shock you Alex, but when people comment crap to me about stuff I didn’t say – I will shoot back. I’m all for disagreement and debate here, that’s what makes this great.
When I disagree with comments like “Colby Parkinson is Jimmy Graham” and the rebuttal is “oh you are smarter than PC/JS” I will absolutely fire back.
Thanks for the reply.
I mostly agree with you. Really wanted more DL or OL today, notably Fotu or Lawrence who went to the Cards unfortunately, Jones at DT, Weaver or Gipson at DE, Prince at OT or one of the centers. Or Hall, Reid or Robertson at CB.
I see what happened now. With the practice drafts this week preparing, they thought Thursday and today were practice, and Friday night was the only real draft day. That’s the only day we seemed to get the guys at their right place and who seems talented enough for us to pick.
firmly believe that the Hawks got 3 studs in the first 3 rounds who will be key building blocks going forward. Anytime you can find 3 starters in a draft you have to be happy. I would give Day #1 and 2 a solid B+ that would be an A if they could have traded down to pick Brooks and had an other pick in the 3rd round
Day #3 has been brutal though and I would give it a C at best. I have to keep reminding myself that these are 4th and 5th round picks and not to expect much but there seemed to be some talent still on the board . I guess the frustration comes from seeing guys you like still on the board and then the Hawks take a guy you looked at and didn’t like at all.
I will just trust PC/JS and relax.
Will hope for the best case scenario is Parkinson replaces Hollister and Willson and becomes a reliable red zone threat. Dallas is RB depth and a special teamer. Robinson spends a year on the bench developing and becomes a situational pass rusher year #2.
Rumor has it if they’d traded down, Brooks was set to be taken by the Ravens. They couldn’t trade down for him and then Taylor would have been taken at 30 (wrong Taylor, but it is what it is).
Overall, I am happy with this draft. I still say Jonathan Taylor and Logan Wilson would have been better picks than Brooks/Lewis (still would have gotten Taylor from Tennessee)… but this has been pretty good. I really like the trade down from the DK pick with Carolina though because that brought not just Lewis… but also A. Robinson in the 5th.
Taylor will go to more Pro Bowls than Brooks, but this has been a pretty good draft so far. And if I did want to complain about it – what good what it do? Go Hawks.
Agree
J Taylor and anyone would have been awesome
i think we outsmarted ourselves..I rank Colts draft the best …Pittman Taylor alone will both be stars…
Sea Mode, I wonder if your guess on the Rambo clue was right and the Pats jumped in and got Seattle’s guy.
I prefer Parkinson to Keene anyways, Keene is speedy but smaller kind of like Hollister.
He looks like a wide out honestly
Alton Robinson’s 4.69 40 was third-fastest among defensive linemen at the combine.
Terrific looking athlete.
How does Robinson comp to Jake Martin?
I hope we trade into this round somehow and still keep our last pick
The whole theme of guys who have a kid already continues as well:
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-hurricanes/fl-sp-draft-um-deejay-dallas-20200418-iserroqhsjec3eqfj4wvdhhchi-story.html
I didn’t think he was a great pass blocking back, but if he feels confident about it that’s a good sign.
One of the ESPN analysts (not sure which) said Dallas is the best pass protecting RB in the draft. FWIW
You think Bryce Hall has to be dropping due to know one can check his medicals. He could be our last pick or he could even go undrafted.
he was great when Healthy
Alton Robinson’s backstory might make people feel differently about this pick. I’m just saying.
I already love it. His ceiling is HIGH
Great value
You know how people are about stuff that involves women though. I think he was a young, dumb kid that feel in with the wrong crowd.
Oh I get it. I care more about what someone learned from making a mistake than the mistake itself.
Coming from someone who was an ex d**e dealer, I agree. We all f**k up.
I feel like being super vague with the misconduct allegations just opens up rooms for people’s imaginations to run wild. He stole his ex-girlfriend’s purse, which isn’t good, but still this isn’t an assault allegation we are talking about.
Good point. Petty theft is a grand canyon away from domestic violence.
Yeah, I agree. I HATED the Clark pick from the beginning and was pretty glad to see, him go because of it, but this just isn’t the same to me.
Who doesn’t like it?
I mean the ones who do like it.
I really like the kid and thought he put a lot of good stuff on tape. Especially in ’18.
Him and Taylor both were on my summer watch list coming into the year. So I’m fired up about those 2 picks in particular.
He stole his ex-girlfriend’s purse in highschool.
Let’s be clear he didn’t leave a girl with a f*’ed up face like Clark did.
He robbed a girl twice, shoved 1 in the bushes (allegedly) and there were uncooperative witnesses. Which means he was with a crowd that intimidated said witness or it was BS.
As I said above. No one is more for 2nd chances than me. Lord knows I’ve been given probably too many.
IDK the details of the case. I know it caused him to go the Juco route. He moved on worked his ass off and is now a seahawk. He’s a man now and hopefully doesn’t do any more dumb ass high school sh*t.
Still don’t feel as bad about it as I did about clark after seeing those pics, you know…
It caused him to go the JUCO route because A&M pulled the offer. It was robbery not petty theft. Even DJ just said that.
I agree 100%. One reason I’m so into backstories is because we all have one. It’s not how many times you get knocked on your a** by life but how many times you get back up off it.
Anytime a woman is involved it’ll turn some people off.
That’s a shame…and I mean that from the perspective of while DV is a major issue – an awful lot of these cases are very murky.
Didn’t love the Frank Clark story, but I thought he was unfairly labeled by many Seahawk fans over a situation that was certainly bad, but didn’t necessarily make him a man who should be condemned for life.
Anyways, not necessarily a great conversation for the comments section.
And apparently it’s an issue with a girlfriend AND/Or robbery?
Will someone enlighten me? Cliff notes.
He robbed his gf twice, stole the girl’s phone, allegedly shoved that one in the bushes, uncooperative witnesses. He was charged with 2nd degree robbery.
Stole the phone and purse, she chased him and he dropped the purse but kept the phone.
to me it sounds like some dumb ass high school relationship drama. not trying to downplay it, he was in the wrong totally, but to me it doesn’t sound like a situation that should haunt him throughout his career.
I hope not and I agree. Young, dumb, and full of… (not sure I can post that)
Opened a can of worms here, but it’s something that’ll come up and people should know.
Hate the TE pick (Robertson was still there), OK with the RB pick, like Robinson pick.
Still no WR or CB.
We don’t even have CB depth. Not sure if Dunbar is slot or compete with Flowers for outside but we’re ridiculously thin at the position. OK, no R1-3 pick for CB, but Bryce Hall still undrafted. Amik Robertson just went after our TE pick. Javaris Davis still in.
No outside CBs but good nickel prospects. And who cares about a redshirt year in R4-R5 if you can get a high quality player?
Also Prince, Gipson, Anae, Eno Benjamin, Joe Reed, Alex Taylor, Nick Harris, Donovan People- Jones, KJ Hill, Vildor, Hasty, Phillips, Dotson, Antonio Gandy Golden, Bredeson, Biadasz were still there (and some still in) when we picked the TE. All would seem better in our system than a pure move TE
I actually think the Dunbar trade made the CB depth quite good. He’ll start and push Flowers to the bench. Flowers goes from being an improving CB (who needs to continue to improve) to being quality depth. Those two and Griffin are a solid trio. I know nickel is another story though.
Yep mostly worried about nickel. Dunbar could work it but no way Flowers could. Amadi is interesting but I’d like competition for him. I know this FO can trade 4th/5th and make magic but man I’m depressed about not getting Amik. Nowhere near an outside CB but he’s a mad dog blitzing, attacking the run and work against most slot WRs. He and Hall would’ve been a total steal in R4/5. Hall has higher ceiling but medical concerns so I’d been good with any of those two.
If we have 5-6 potential starters for 2,5 LB position I think 4 for 2,5 CB position is a bit thin. But that’s probably my fear of rolling with 3LB sets this year too
Parkinson IS the WR pick, dude was split out for most of his snaps and can’t block for shit.
Then DPJ, Reed, Hill, AGG would be better pure WRs imo
Interesting that the strength of the 2020 draft was in the Offensive Tackle and Wide Receiver positions and we have yet to take anyone in those positions. Not saying it was a bad thing just an observation. Think the Hawks had a good day today not great but solid. Still think the whole story will come into some clarity when we see what happens with Clowney, Griffen, YN, Fournette and with the remaining FA Dt’s. Seems like the Hawks 2020 roster is still not complete.
They just drafted two LEOs. I think that eliminates Griffen and YN. Doubt they’ll have any interest in Fournette. Clowney’s the guy, but it’s been a long wait. I don’t think that’s happening either. We pretty much see out team outside of someone like Mebane in the middle of the DL and perhaps a vet WR and RB.
Like Taylor, Robinson has potential as a true LEO. My only concern with him is his length. He’s not short exactly(32.3″) but he’s not quite as long as a guy like Avril (34.5″) or Taylor (33″).
But then Chris Clemons had 32″ arms so maybe it’s no big deal.
I really like our two new LEOs
I think some Seahawk fans need to realize that the draft grade of who the FRONT OFFICE selects doesn’t all of a sudden tank – at least in the real world – when the FRONT OFFICE doesn’t select a player you liked after watching 5 minutes of on Youtube.
but, but…
Dallas RB is good in pass protection and short yardage situations. Not bad
Perfect guy to slide in there at number three.
I like the player…just think R4 is extremely rich for that skillset.
Agreed but there was a run in RB and the next bunch lack size. So I kinda see what they were doing. Also he can be a KR
That’s the way the draft fell. A lot of running backs had already gone. Wouldn’t be surprised if they had him going later and wanted to get him later but the running backs were going.
OH totally. Not implying the “they could have taken him later.” None of us know that.
That’s why I said the skill set. Maybe he is unique with certain things that others with his testing/size didn’t have. I kind of expect a RB in R4 or sooner to have a special trait – maybe he’s just solid all around – nothing wrong with that.
We’ll probably scoop up some more lineman after cuts
Alton Robinson’s physical profile is pretty similar to Jabari Zuniga’s, slightly worse in most categories, but a better vert and actually did the short shuttle.
2 more rounds to go just 1 pick
still need oL receiver cephus?
Oh, wow:
Good, that dude is fast as hell.
I like Breida, glad he’s out of the Division. Goid get for Dolphins, wish wed got him!
Seems like a good deal for MIA. I’d have thought Breida was worth a little more.
Also good deal for SEA. One less OW to face twice a year.
Who has a higher ceiling and lower floor between
Trevis Gipson & Alton Robinson ?
Robinson certainly is more athletic overall
How many of those free agents did they spend significant money on? Olson–but he’s a one and done guy who fills a gap with Dissly coming back from injury. Shell–but they needed a RT and they haven’t drafted one of those. They can cut Hollister because no guaranteed money, etc. Warmack is no cost, no risk unless he makes the team. Ogebuhi was pretty cheap, as I recall.
Who else?
With Lewis & Robertson – We can save on B. Jackson – 2M.
Side note – is WR Tyler Johnson a serial killer? What’s going on there?
Never thought he was an amazing prospect…but he has had some really nice production.
I got a good laugh out of this one.
Lol.
He had character red flags and then dropped out of the Shrinr game. Domething is off there.
This stupid phone.
*something
DeeJay Dallas conference call should start anytime if anyone cares to listen in:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV8ZmXslajI
WOOOOOO
Got 1 guy on the mock!
Congratulations you are kicking my@zz
We’ll get a lot more at all positions after the draft, JS is one of the best getting UDFAs. Almost wish we trade back a couple times with our late 6th to pick up several 7th rounders, they’re like 1 point apiece for the last 31 in the round. Denver has 4 or 5, and several teams have multiple picks, we have none, and would be easier to pick a few locked in last rd. options rather than hope they outbid other teams after the draft.
At this point, we have 6 DEs on the roster, but maybe not a single one expected to perform like a three-down starter. Best case scenario, we re-sign Clowney and add Griffen/Ngakoue, do we carry 8 DEs into the season?
I think they only bring in 1 of those guys now, hopefully Clowney.
Jets took Hall…I’m F’in pissed. But hey we can roll with 3LBs which worked so well last year. And at least we have a huge TE project. Totally worth it.
If they didn’t wanna roll with the injury risk Amik was still available…I’m not happy
They like Amadi and if Blair can get on the field, Bmac, Diggs or Blair could play in the slot as the 3rd safety. Not to mention the trio of Dunbar, Griffin and Flowers.
I like Amadi too, and Blair also but neither are proven commodities.
Flowers-Griffin-Dunbar could work. I hope Dunbar works out and Flowers take a huge step forward. Or Dunbar-Griffin-Amadi could be nice too. I just saw some tape on Hall and that guy can play. And we don’t really have an intense guy like Amik on our roster
I barely know who hall is because I ignore the DB class pretty much every year. Pete will take “his guy” when he wants, and “his guy” is usually a complete unknown.
+1
Lets trade 214 and a 2021 7th for like 3 late 7th rounders. Just snag up a bunch of these injury concern guys who would be drafted by now any other year
Great idea
Many of our hopefuls going now – Hall at CB, Gipson at DE, Ismael at C, Joe Reed at WR, Kenny Robinson at S, Nick Harris at C just now to the Browns.
Phins just got my man Strowbridge. Damn good pick up for them in the fifth.
Miami is blowing up this draft. They are set to take a big step in the coming years.
Prince Tega Wanogho
Must be a medical issue for him to drop.
The Athletic had a predraft article up about him that states he is currently rehabbing from an injury:
“Wanogho’s draft prep over the last month has consisted of visits to Dr. James Andrews’ medical office in Pensacola for rehabilitation, which has been deemed essential. . .His rehab from the January meniscus procedure now includes on-field work, and he’s been allowed to run and go through limited offensive line drills under the supervision of a member of Andrews’ athletic training staff.”
55 roster spots now, we have room for the DEs or the OGs.
I still believe the Hawks like college RB’s with low mileage on them in college. Excited to see what Deejay can do.
Nick Harris to Cleveland. Happy for him, but glad he’s off the board.
What’s up gentlemen? Wanted to pop in and see how things were going and I’m going to go ahead and excuse myself back to my laundry room remodel. I have a feeling that will be a lot more productive than trying to understand exactly what the ‘plan’ is.
Haven’t looked at the comments yet, but I have to say… I’m stunned. Colby Parkinson? A 5th TE, 19 OL and NO DT!!? I can’t wrap my head around this roster construction. My two favorite slot CB’s (Amik & Reid) are both gone, and that was the main hope I had for a “my guy”.
I’m frustrated & confused, no doubt. Gonna tune out for a bit and come back when I’ve got a whiskey on the rocks tonight. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Go Hawks
Well unfortunately the Cards drafted both of the best DTs available, Leki Fotu of Utah and Rashard Lawrence of LSU.
I feel you.
Just as I started to accept the Brooks pick and hope they’ll pick Amik or Hall as they fall, or attack DT earlier and grab Hamilton, Davis, Madubuike or at least Fotu…they did nothing.
Not hating on this TE, but feel like there were much better options where the position was much deeper in this class and those aligned with much greater needs. And they went to a completely different route.
But I was wrong before (with DK), and I love being wrong if that means the Hawks get a stud
I know Rob and I vehemently disagreed about Hunter Bryant – never thought he’d fall this far. The knee and athletic testing (factoring in his size) is definitely scaring teams off.
Just showed highlights of Kenny Robinson at S from WVU and XFL, 6’2″ 200 and looked great making ints, 1st team all-acc, making plays all over the field, great ball awareness. Robinson at S, CB Roberton and Reed at WR(+ 33 yd. avg. KO returns) or one of the centers would’ve made us all much happier than the choices they made today. Thing they thought it was another practice draft day and just threw darts at the wall instead of try for impact players at positions of need.
Think they thought… last line. May go take a nap as someone suggested earlier. Probably still 2 hours till our last pick, and may be a kicker the way today is going.
Strange but everybody at 710 espn seem to be high on Parkinson blocking and he mentioned the Seahawks wants him to bulk up and be classic Y TE.
https://sports.mynorthwest.com/839514/seahawks-tight-end-stanfords-colby-parkinson-4th-round/
They are wrong.
He’s not a blocker. I watched his tape and couldn’t find anything to judge in terms of blocking.
They’re just assuming he’s a blocker because he played for Stanford.
Maybe they can develop that skill in him?
It’s a little troublesome to assume being since he did in fact come from Stanford.
Intriguing pick – I hope they just let him be TE3 and focus on moving the chains and dominating the red zone. No reason to make him something he is not.
Does the Stanford football program practice blocking? I mean emphasize it a lot? Does their TE coach make them do reps?
Perhaps that’s how the program gets known for all round TE? Just asking
Just watched the interview with Colby Parkinson. He is going to fit into that TE room so well with his personality.
Oh yeah it is a fantastic fit
Yep that’s what we needed in the locker room, personality from a position not really needed in the draft, not DL/DBs on a depleted and unproductive defense.
49ers traded Breida and Goodwin today. Some good news.
Just saw a hilarious tweet from Corbin Smith about Deejay Dallas being a father and checking off the “Maturity Box” for the Seahawks.
LOL…yes, being a 22 year old father automatically means you are mature…not that you just, well…I’m sure most of you were in college and understand basic reproductive science.
I like Dallas…and not implying he’s not a good, mature guy – just find that take hilarious. What people come up with for content is hilarious.
I don’t think it should be seen as some slight that a 22 year old man about to start a professional career has a child.
I don’t think it should mean anything except on an individual basis. I just find it hilarious that Corbin immediately goes to “maturity box checked.”
My best friend had a kid at 21…he is/was a fine father but was anything but mature.
I would hope it makes you grow up pretty fast though.
Totally…and I made sure to point out that I’m not assuming anything bad about Deejay. I just think it’s comical to rush straight to the “maturity box checked” on something like this.
Plenty of great young fathers – some are mature and some aren’t.
Again – I thought it was funny because it’s such a hollow, assuming take.
I got cha. Knew where you coming from. We all know how many deadbeat dads there are unfortunately.
I’m probably skewed being an older brother to a younger sister and always hearing the following:
“He’s such an amazing guy with a big heart!”
“Um, you’ve been on one date with him and didn’t know him before. Maybe let him prove that to you.”
Not sure why I’m making a serious point here, lol. I just thought the tweet was funny. Corbin seems like a good, insightful guy.
Dallas himself has said he is focused on doing well to provide for his son and family, so that is a mature outlook indeed. He has goals and priorities.
Maturity box ticked.
Whew…all it took was a 10 second sound bite. I’m sure he is a fine person and never implied anything else.
Love Taylor and Robinson but the two both seem like clear Leos. In addition to Irvin and Mayowa, seems like a lot of guys there.
Mayowa’s not really a LEO.
Neither is Irvin.
They kinda both are LEO types actually…
Irvin can play SAM
Irvin was drafted to play LEO & busted to SAM.
Last year for the panthers he was an edge rusher. 8 sacks last year and 8 sacks his rookie year as a LEO. Busted? He’s only really been a linebacker for Seattle. They moved him to SAM to get him on the field way back when we were loaded at DE.
What the heck are you talking about. He’s a LEO type that has the versatility to play the SAM
Phins take weaver
Let’s see if Weaver is really productive, and remember we could’ve had him 3 times today. Wanted him more than Robinson at DE, and we could also have drafted excellent CB in Roberton, S in Robinson or choice of 2-3 very good centers. I’ll bet Dallas or comprable RBs could’ve been drafted in the 7th or UDFA, TE not necessary.
Alton Robinson was very good in 2018 if my memory serves me. Syracuse were good that year.
Nothing wrong with a explosive developmental edge project. Seattle needs them.
This opens up what they can do with FA now. Several veteran options available, so no pressure to sign “young guy” such as Clowney for super big dollars.
Lol. The Bills have a literal 2 pack of a** at QB.
Both kinds of bad QB as well.
I wonder if the 49ers trades today set them up to add Clowney to the mix. I’m not sure they can designate any of the trades as post June 1st but if they can, they cleared a total of ~16 million. If they can redo Trent Williams deal with a low first year number and sign Clowney to a multi-year deal with a low first year number, that’s an easy add for them.
I just cant see that..they dont really need him.
Why would the 49ers possibly want Clowney. They have an awesome defensive line and just added Javon Kinlaw to replace Buckner.
I should just draft for the Jaquars and the Ravens…..
get tons of draft hits on guys going to either team :/
Yep. And the Patriots.
Miami too
The Dolphins loading up on DE.
Looking like the Seahawks will have plenty of cap space next year to re-sign some players, maybe even have enough to bring back Dunbar if he wants to come back. plus they could co even pull off a trade for a veteran edge rusher and have the dollars to keep him if they desired.
Not sure I buy this, but it’s worth considering.
I just can’t imagine cutting KJ because we drafted a linebacker who is so suspect in coverage. Unless they think Barton is ready. I would love to cut the other three, but Lewis isn’t going to play center.
No, but Finney might….
I doubt they move on from KJ and Fluker, Britt and Hollister really should be gone though.
If we want to add FA DL at least some of those guys will be cut
Only guy I’d cut out of that group is Britt.
we could sure use Clowney back and a veteran DT.
Justin Britt
KJ Wright
DJ Fluker
Jacob Hollister
David Moore
Branden Jackson
Joey Hunt
Those 7 cuts could save the Seahawks 28.35 mm. Plus, Wilson and Lockett’s contract have plenty of restructuring room to create from 10-20 mm in cap space for 2020. Not to mention’s the Seahawks own 10 mm cap space.
The Seahawks have the flexibility to create around 60 mm of cap space. I just don’t get why all of this passivity on the offseason.
There’s still a chance to pull a rabbit out of the hat.
Kareem went one pick before Robinson to Cincinnati, I wonder if he would have been the pick.
Anyways, I’m loving what I’m seeing of Alton Robinson. There is a lot to work with!
I don’t think so. They’re pretty different DEs. Robinson is a twitched up EDGE/LEO whereas Kareem is a traditional 5T. SEA don’t need any more 5Ts.
Mockdraftable comps both Taylor and Robinson to Ryan Kerrigan, and Robinson to Ngakoue (third comp).
Shed Britt (maybe Wright, though that would be a tougher one) and bring Griffen or maybe Clowney back. That’s a DL I can look to the future with.
Alton Robinson seems pretty dialled in as I listen to his conference call. Speaks really well and owned the big mistake in high school citing that he embarrassed himself, his family and his high school.
Intriguingly, he worked with Cliff Avril this year so he already has a pretty damn handy mentor to call on.
Didn’t he train in Bellevue this off-season?
Yep. He got recommended to the Bellvue program by an older linebacker team-mate. I believe he said he also played high school footy with Tre Flowers so another connection to the team.
Thought I saw that somewhere. I didn’t know that about him & Flowers.
Ford Sports. My baseball team practices in the building next door. Always saw Hunter Bryant there – dude works hard.
I wouldn’t have recognized Alton Robinson.
Surprised Bryant is still on the board at this point.
I was never a fan of his from an NFL perspective – but by all accounts, the kid is a straight worker. I believe his dad was a trainer…and that’s always kind of been his problem – he was maxed out physically when he got to UW.
The medical has to be the problem. I’m sure the knee is probably degenerative. That’s a tough gamble when he’s already borderline with his speed.
He’s jacked no doubt about it.
Your probably right.
At this point I would be pretty shocked if we still signed one of Clowney/Griffin/Yannick. We really don’t have the cap and we have Irvin/Mayowa/Greene/Taylor/Robinson/Collier on the roster now. Pass rush by commitee I suppose. The rest of the capital we have will probably go towards a DT.
Seems like all of the signing we’ve done are low money and low years so maybe we are really just gearing up for 2021 after all.
As detailed just above by Brazilian, we can make cap room if we want. Plenty of it.
I mean I kind of agree. They drafted both Collier and Green to play so play them. They made a big move to secure Taylor so you’ve got to play him also. They also signed Mayowa and irvin before clowney or griffin for a reason.
We usually keep 9 but might keep 10 this year due to roster expansion. Could be this?
Irvin
Mayowa
Green
Collier
Robinson
Taylor
Reed
Ford
Veteran DT
One more spot (Griffen/Clowney)
They could even make Irvin a LB and have two spots open.
If what you’re saying is we’re waiting until next year to Really get after it, then Rob’s premise is correct. We are wasting RW in his prime by doing very little, even regressing on the DL with possibly losing Clowney and not signing any other impact players. And days 1 and 3 of the draft were very underwhelming. So unless we sign Clowney, Griffen and/or Harrison at DT in the next few weeks, then 2020 is almost guaranteed an early round exit from the playoffs if we even make it.
Shocked? A 2nd and a 5th round pick aren’t going to match the impact a Clowney or a Griffen would have in 2020.
Ok then…let’s hope you are right and we sign one of them.
I feel really good about literally none of those guys. Irvin and Mayowa are stop gaps and likely were Hedge signings. Green is solid has some potential. Hoping Taylor can make an impact and Collier makes a huge jump from last year (hoping the lost season was due to the injury). No guarantee Robinson even makes the team. Also can’t assume everyone stays healthy through training camp.
We probably have about 6-7 roster spots for these inside-Out DE and edge types if we assume they roll with 3 interior DL like they have in recent years. Green, Collier, Taylor, Mayowa, Robinson & Clowney/Griffen. Irvin can count as a LB as our projected starting SAM. There’s room for a veteran DL or two on the roster still. I like Clowney & Mebane and they are familiar to the Seahawks similar to Irvin/Mayowa.
Projected seahawks DL (Clowney/Griffen, Green, Collier, Mayowa, Taylor, Robinson, Ford, Reed, Mebane)
Where do they go?
WR
OT
CB
I’m hoping for Rodrigo Blankenship just to see more heads explode.
I just want to see the gogs
I would not complain one bit
Compete ate every position. Could use the cap space too.
I think they may be targeting Luc Barcoo from SD State w/ pick 214. CB. Very good athlete.
Good shout.
BoPete Keyes is still out there too as are some of pro day guys they met with and attended.
Ever since I saw his name I knew that BoPete was going to be a Hawk. It might end up being in a parallel universe but it’s still a certainty.
So the Rob Riggle clue. It was a 2 parter? Duo and leaving a past behind?
Give me Donovan Peoples-Jones…it’s worth the risk at this point. He can at the very least be a Punt Returner.
I’m in!
JS/PC usually likes to have double digit picks and in turn we see a above average hit rate in terms of games and snaps played in the NFL. Also those final day 3 picks is where JS/PC hit some probowl homeruns and or starters that are extremely serviceable and directly contribute to the team and or the NFL league
this draft they have 7 picks and as a fan you are hoping we get quality from the lack of draft pick quantity.
First 3 picks
Brooks
Taylor
Lewis
probably you are hoping for 1 starter (maybe pro bowler) + 2 serviceable players (maybe they get a 2nd contract)
Final day 3 picks is where you are swinging for the fences and hoping we get some boom or bust
Round 4 to 6
from DAY 3 picks who you guys think will be that future starter or pro bowl player?
Nobody from Day 3. I’m confident all 3 will provide value in one way or another.
I don’t know if anyone is a pro bowler, but Alton Robinson would be my pick to contribute quite a bit.
DeeJay, is just getting started at RB. Massive upside. He’s got a bit o Beastmode in him.
if DeeJay is like Spencer Ware or Chris Carson I think that’s found $
I am hopeful for the TE Parkinson if he can just utilize size opposite of DK Metcalf in Red Zone it’s a matchup problem for D opponents
Hunter Bryant still not drafted…wow
What’s going on? His medicals causing the issue?
Injury issues. Drops. Undersized. Didn’t run fast.
He was always a day 3 pick for me.
Maybe to Indy?
And they traded the pick. Never mind.
What the hell is this broadcast now descending into?
This is the biggest momemt of pick 183s life (whoever it turns out to be – and we’re getting some weird musical performance?
Seriously. I just flat out gave up on the broadcast and I’m just following the tracker. They aren’t even *ANNOUNCING* most of the picks, and they’re so far behind they’ll just start randomly talking about some dude and I legit have to go look up who even picked him.
The broadcast has been bad before but it’s a whole new level of trash this year.
This is so much better than that country music performance.
New England blows my mind. I like Michael Onwenu. Bet they got an eventual starting guard.
If you guys want something fun to do while waiting for 214 go check out CB Michael Jacqet III. Crazy length. Pro-ready nickname.
A nice looking gunner for S/T.
Would like to see a secondary piece here or dare I say it, another OL player. Honestly though, this feels like a good spot to grab a CB/S.
I wouldn’t think twice about snagging Prince here. Just do it.
agreed
Evidently Prince Wangotango has something going that I have no clue of. Unless he murdered someone or had a leg amputated I say take him
I’m with you. Take him. That talent with a late 6th? I don’t care if he needs a redshirt year to recover from some mystery injury we haven’t heard of.
I’m surprised Prince has fallen this low, but I do get the feeling teams probably see him as way more raw and unrefined than analysts were even saying. Would be a good pickup in this frame though.
Medical. Same with Hunter Bryant.
Would be nice to have a solid kicker for cheap for 4 years. And he’s a Dawg
Jason Myers sometimes makes me nervous. We have other bigger issues, but hope it he gets a bit more consistent.
Hauschka was money (during his years in Seattle). Maybe faded a bit towards the end.
Wilson seems to have the ears of PCJS. Not sure if JS comments on Oline are direct from Russ as per Russ wanting GROWN MEN or if it’s just team philosophy. Probably both.
Liking the draft, but some teams getting better every day: Ravens, Niners and Cards. Dolphins and Colts having great drafts. Vikings as well.
Next few weeks will be key to close this cycle. Full picture has not been painted.
Mooney gone…that was a real sleeper for this team. Damn.
Yeah, what’s the story there anyways? Is he injured?
I’m liking this draft for what feels like a good injection of speed/talent at the first two levels of the defense. Add Dunbar, and a full year of Diggs, plus hopefully Blair – and you can see our D being much faster/playmaking this coming season.
I feel like every pick, more or less, after the 3rd round, is a bit of a flyer – there’s no sure things there – and for all the criticism of PC/JS 1st round picking – they’ve remained solid at finding mid to late round contributors.
Random disagreement — feels like the consensus on here that Hollister stinks – – I didn’t think that at all last year. He’s undersized, no argument there, but he got open for Russ, showed solid hands, and was a little faster than you’d expect after the catch. Not a star, but definitely good enough to make a roster.
Agreed. Never understood the Hollister takes. He is certainly a fine TE2/3. He played a role that he’s not really suited for and filled in admirably.
I saw someone suggest Hollister could be bound for more of a halfback role. Seemed like a sensible idea
You think he’s a running back?
Must be a typo. H-back?
Oh, nice catch. Yes, H-back is what I meant haha
Halfback? Really? Hard to se that.
With Parkinson now, Hollister would clear cap room and possibly get a late round draft pick. Unless Parkinson looks bad in the pre-season.
I agree pdway. Everyone was so high on taking Hunter Bryant as a move TE. We already have one that’s the same size and much faster.
Been gone a couple hours. What I miss? Can we still get Tega?
Yes, still available, unless he got pick when I was grabbing a drink
Who knows what direction we go with the last pick. Might be something out of left field.
Seahawks would never come out of left field😸
Exactly. It will be right field.
It will be from the NW parking lot, behind left field, row 117
Andy Reid rocking the Hawaiian shirt
Rocking the draft, too.
Can’t get a right read on CeeDee Lamb, PFF has him graded very high. Speed good, not excellent 4.5?
Good after the catch. Seems good on contested catches.
Any thoughts?
I saw just about every game/play he was in, my partner being a Sooner. My favorite receiver in this talent laden class. Just a great football player at the college level. Knows how to get open. Very good punt returner. Great after the catch. What he might lack in certain measurables he more than makes up for in his overall football talent/smarts.
But you never know until a few year’s time at the pro level.
he’s not super fast but he has insane body control and hands
Thank you, not a fan of the Boys. Wish him well, not the team. Haha.
I have the third and fourth overall picks in a dynasty redraft (thru two trades), hope CeeDee and CEH go 1 and 2. I’d rather have Taylor and Jefferson. Or better yet the two RB’s: Taylor and CEH. Jeudy has Sutton and Edwards to contend with for volume. Maybe Reagor has bigger upside, but more risk. Ruggs may be a Tyreek, Aiyuk has to share the load with those other weapons in SFO. 🙁
We’ll see. Love Taylor behind that line at Indy.
For you Pac-12 fans……Jake Luton from Oregon St. just taken by Jax pick 189
He’s actually kind of underrated.
WR Donovan Peoples-Jones gone to the Browns. Still hoping for a DT, maybe Benito Jones or Raequan Williams.
We haven’t taken our obligatory Ute yet. DT John Penis-ini?
LOL…he was born on Pen Island
I will always remember him for his hilarious failed pick-six attempt.
OH GOD…that was him??
Penis-ini is gone to the Lions.
Off topic but is Kim Jong-Un dead or alive?
Yes.
Lmaoooo
He’s Schrodinger’s Dictator
You win post of the day! LOL!
Comps favorably to Seth Rogen.
The Interview is hilarious. What a great flick. James Franco is sneaky one of the funniest human beings on Earth.
This Is The End is also hilarious. Guilty pleasure.
Franco is a legit actor. Good in The Deuce, Spring Breakers, The Disaster Artist.
Killed it in Pineapple Express too.
I’ve heard that’s good. Need to check it out.
If you liked This Is The End you’ll like Pineapple Express. But I’m a pothead so maybe not. 🤷♂️
Used to be, so I’ll get it.
How about Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg?
Ok, you know you are off the radar when the NFL.com site had to hurriedly put up a profile due to being drafted….. Justin Rohrwasser K Marshall
AKA the Field Marshal
Probably didn’t want to put his picture up so people wouldn’t see he has a tattoo for a militia group that’s done security for Neo-Nazi rallies.
This dude is already cancelled. Guarantee NE let’s him go due to public pressure…I don’t want to guarantee it, but people have a lot of time on their hands these days.
Would be cool to snag Hunter Bryant and Madre Harper as UDFA considering the links they have to the team. If we don’t draft them I hope no one does.
Bucs winning the offseason and the draft… solid
Love some of these teams drafts.
Carolina
Baltimore
Arizona
New England
Kansas City
San Francisco
Jacksonville
The list goes on.
Really like what Carolina did. ‘Phins have drafted well too.
My favorite pick so far is Kenneth Murray to the Bolts.
Two free agency questions. What about signing Frank Gore? Also does anyone have a list of defensive tackles that are still available?
Crowell? Or is he trouble?
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/all/defensive-tackle/available/
Penis-ini is gone to the Lions.
Teeny tiny Peeny ini off the board?
With a name like that dude better have some big d**k energy.
IF WR is still a possibility as a Seahawk pick, how about: WR-Isiah Hodgins;
2019: “The Country’s TOP red zone WR, 12 targets, 12 receptions, 9-TD’s (and 3 for 1-st downs). Not a flex tight end but very much a red zone target as a (somewhat slower) WR that could potentially become a big time TD maker for RW’s quiver.
https://ngscsports.com/2020/03/13/oregon-state-wr-isaiah-hodgins-could-be-a-day-3-steal-for-the-cowboys/
KJ Hill too, has Ohio State’s all time receptions record.
i’d rather go defense.
Vikings still have 7 picks.
16 picks or so total, has to be a record
Heck trade down for 3-4 of them in rd. 7, maybe plus some late rd. picks next year……………………..or DE Danielle Hunter.
And they trade one for a future pick
Come on Seattle, get Bryce Huff
Giants quietly having an outstanding draft.
Quez is gone, one of the guys I was really hoping we could get.
Ravens got DuVernay and Proche..
After this draft I really think we have the depth to compete for a super bowl this year. if we get a little luckier health wise, I think we have a shot.
As long as we add Clowney or Griffen.
Griffen over Clowney for me
DAMN both Proche and Watkins gone just like dat
Wait. Kliff Kingsbury recruited Jordyn Brooks didn’t he?
Yup… He practice against an Air Raid/Move QB like Kyler… That could be a benefit or a dagger for Brooks
Has to be the slowest sixth round of all time.
And with all the compensatory picks it’s closer to 40 than 30 this round.
MAN THE WEATHER IN SEATTLE IS BEAUTIFUL TODAY. Absolutely fantastic, this city is getting at least another Super Bowl from Wilson. I can feel it, this is the year.
At least something’s going right if the weather is nice there. But except for Dunbar at CB in FA and day 2 of the draft, we’ve been going backwards and seems like we’ll be lucky if we make the playoffs. Meanwhile AZ may pass us with a great offseason getting one of the top WRs in the NFL in Hopkins, Phillips at DT and a couple linebackers, plus a great draft with a top 3 talent in Simmons, help on the OL and two big DTs in Fotu and Lawrence. SF also improved a lot in the draft and with getting OT Williams from Washington.
Is something wrong with Prince?
People here are saying injuries. That combined with raw technique is probably a bad combo in a prep shortened season.
With us passing on the WR class so far it makes me wonder if they are hopeful they can get Josh Gordon back.
Jace. Excellent observation.
Is it just me or did teams simplify who they were drafting and did a better job this year… with less information (pro days for example)
I think there are reports that GMs are more decisive this year and more willing to just stick to their pre-draft board since there’s less war room back and forth with the scout team.
I bet they piss more people off and go QB here.
Without visits, medicals, pro days, I bet teams were more conservative than usual, this year.
UDFA is going to be interesting.
Going to be some guys making teams out of UDFA this year, more so than years past
So is Stidham really Bill’s guy for the next season?
I bet they piss more people off and go QB here.
Wouldn’t hate Anthony Gordon or Steven Montez tbh
are we getting hall cb now?
Hall is already off the board.
Bryce Hall has been gone for about an hour, 20 picks or so ago.
Any of Benito Jones, Raequan williams, Bryce Perkins I would be stoked about next pick.
Give us a Prince.
Seems likely they grab a developmental CB here, is Madre Harper still on the board?
I think so.
Barqoo is there, BoPete Keyes, Haslop, quite a few others too
Not a huge fan of Lamar Jackson, but he has the size and upside Seattle might like.
He’ll never cut it as an NFL QB!
Yes he is and would make sense here.
This has been a pretty good day to this point. Does anyone know why Prince TW has fallen so hard? I never heard any medical reports and he’s a great kid with upside. What happened? Even as a project he’s better than a lot of these guys. Hunter Bryant falling this far has to be an injury thing. His knee maybe didn’t check out. I get it. Love Parkinson and Robinson. Dallas was a guy who popped on tape while watching their game against Florida. Great pass protector as well.
Could have been something that popped up during the medicals at combine…..
Trey Adams also got blown up by medicals. Hard to believe maybe 2 years he was a top 5 pick.
Trey Adams and Hunter Bryant both UW guys that were being touted 1st/2nd round at one point, now they might go undrafted. Feels bad man.
Honestly I think the shortened practice time means teams are very hesitant of bringing on someone raw and I get the feeling Prince is more raw than originally believed.
Ravens, Chiefs, Colts really separated from the rest of the pack…. top 3 teams in AFC
NFC, is a real blood bath. Maybe 10 playoff quality teams.
Add SF and AZ to that list.
Dolphins also have had a clear and thought out offseason, unlike the last 25 years.
FA adds on offense and went heavy into defense in draft. May not get it totally turned around this year, but 2021, they will be very dangerous. Hard to believe that we might actually say, watch out for the “phins”…. LOL
Is Benito still available?
Hawks brass probably just want to get onto the UFDA’s now.
I have a hunch they may grab a developmental QB in Steve Montez here. Would prefer Madre Harper or a developmental OT but in this part of the draft it is a a crap shoot anyways.
I am sure PC/JS all ready have their UDFA list on speed dial.
I hope they grab a corner too.
God I hope NFLN has their own broadcast of the draft next year. ESPN has been so totally Disneyized it ain’t even tolerable.
Prince is finally gone by the eagles
Prince off the board 4 picks before us.
Frick
Nice pick up for the Eagles.
Prince to the Eagles. Even if injured and couldn’t check him out with the pandemic, still a great value pick in the late 6th rd.
Rest of the NFL trolling us, dropping him until 4 picks away.
Wow Indy with 3 picks in a row before us. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a team with 3 in a row, only 2.
They jumped in front of Seattle. We know they tend to like a lot of the same guys.
This draft seasons TV coverage is the worst I’ve seen in many years. The graphics are all crappy and it’s difficult to see who gets picked when & then they are talking about players taken 10-50 picks prior. Not to mention all of the recaps of players taken way earlier in the draft, all the while, players are going off the board, left and right, then it’s time for a Seahawk pick so it’s time to go to a commercial -again. BS.
Mel Kiper is a guy that makes me puke with some of his BS insane “takes” on players, not to mention his no lips face and stupid speaking style that grates on you, can’t watch much more of his purely ugly face. Maybe next years coverage will be better, hopefully.
*end rant*
Day 3 of the draft is always like this. Always.
If you tune into Day 3 expecting them to be go over every pick you might be new to Day 3 of the draft.
Maybe grab Javaris Davis… for slot CB depth
OT Yasir Durant can be a swing OT….. large man….
OLb Bryce Huff….. edge rusher
Was really hoping the Hawks would take a flier on Wanogho even if he needed a red shirt year medically.
My guy Isaiah Rodgers… 😢
meh, they probably weren’t going to take him anyways…
Who would be your pick here?
No clue. Whoever they think they can’t get in UDFA. I’d say they can get their project CB later.
Is Ron’Dell Carter still on the board?
Benito Jones WR, or CB/S.
Hunter Bryant, then trade back in to the 7th if they want Jones
Alex Taylor OT or Jonathan Garvin EDGE!
God, Eagles WRs are stacked now.
Didn’t Seattle trade back into the 7th Rd a couple years back after they had exhausted all their picks? Still could be some more movement left later after the 6th.
Last year they traded this year’s 6th for a 7th to get Ursua
Ursua
Was really hoping the Titans would pick up some pass rushers in this draft because if not that is where Clowney is going I fear.
We’re on the clock…
So a WR and it looks ike a Punt Returner as well?
That has ST’s pick all over it.
We did need someone to take over kick and punt returns. I know zero about him so can’t comment.
He’s very effective working out of the slot.
6 foot, 4.46 runner, David Moore Vibes IMO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs6bwnM_4kc
He’s such an awesome ST’s guy. One of the better ones in this draft IMO. A lot of people liked him here.
Think he’ll take over Kick/Punt Return duties?
Yes. Will challenge Ursua outta the slot too.
Freddie Swain, WR from FL? Think he’s a fast wr but low production.
He did have 7 TDs in just 38 receptions and his 40 was a 4.46. Kick returner, maybe?
And there’s our receiver. Nice, was in the SEC. Toughest conference in college. I like this pick. Hope we can get back into the 7th. Can’t see us grabbing ANOTHER TE. Hunter Bryant dropped too many passes. And we have enough injury prone TE’s I would think.
You think he would come here if we went undrafted
Ben was on his game this year!
https://seahawksdraftblog.com/updated-horizontal-board-why-the-trenches-are-the-key#comment-492270
Ironically, he has the Seahawks taking Prince Tega Wanogho at #63 and he went just four picks ahead of Swain.
WR Freddie Swain, Florida
Lottery ticket, practice squad WR. Could challenge for a roster spot in year 2 or 3.
Don’t sell him that short. We gave Malik Turner significant playing time last season. Let us see what he has and how he can contribute on special teams. I think he’ll be right in there with Ursua Turner Dorsett etc challenging for the fifth or sixth wideout spot.
4.4 speed and punt return upside. Never heard of him but makes sense as a 6th I guess.
Hate the late round coverage. What a waste of time.
Still cant believe Bryant is there. There must be something big wrong.
wow Hunter bryant 7th rounder.. or undrafted
Zxvo3 too!
https://seahawksdraftblog.com/the-ultimate-seahawks-combine-preview-2020#comment-475768
Nicely done Ben and Zxvo3!
Thanks guys! I always thought the guy was underrated.
He was on Rob’s board too so kudos to the Man!
Yes! Love me some Freddie Swain! Poor man’s KJ Hamler, good return guy with tons of speed. Picked him and Alton Robinson in my SDB pick challenge.
Much like Spam is the poor man’s lobster.
Here’s hoping someone takes a flyer on Anthony Gordon the QB from Wazzu.
Rumor is, Seattle wanted a receiver earlier.
That proposed trade with GB that fell through hurt man.
Who do you think we were targetting? Hamler? Claypool?
Hard to say. But I think they wanted late 3rd.
Interesting. Duvernay and Edwards are the only third rounders that pop out at me, but who knows what PCJS’s board looks like.
I might be wrong too. Probably am. Coulda been another 5th or an earlier 4th.
Jim Nagy did say Edwards was a Seahawks receiver. Said Blair was their type of safety and Darrell Taylor fit as a LEO. Could’ve been him.
Whatever, Swain will be just as good as whoever we wanted.
Could be. They needed a returner soooo bad and he’ll compete/push Ursua in the slot.
Swain has good punt return history and so does Deejay Dallas. Competition is a good thing.
RB-DeeJay Dallas, 5-10/214, Miami(Fla)
In 2018 he returned punts & was 11/191/17.4-yd avg. (didn’t return in 2019 or other years)
& returned KO’s; 17/367/21.6-yd avg./1-TD
WR-Freddie Swain, 6-0/199, Florida
Career Punt returns; 39/308/7.9-yd avg./1-TD
Where are you hearing that from?
Art Thiel
Thanks! Hoping Gordon comes back at this point.
First they knock us out of the playoffs, the screw us in the 1st rd. Then tell Aaron Rodgers fuck you to his face in front of the whole world.
The Packers front office be some shady MF’ers!
Man, hope they have a plan very soon to cut some players and pick up several DL, Clowney and Griffen and Snacks Harrison at DT, something impactful to shore up the defense. They only got Brooks, Taylor and Robinson on D out of 7 picks, and 2 of those are Edge/DE, none at DT or DB.
Need a dt
You would think free agency. Maybe Snacks?
Let’s get the UDFAs wishlist together…
Bryant
Adam’s
Wilekes
Coe
Steele
Moss
Sullivan
Montez
Add Breeland to that TE list for me
Solid PFA if available. No reason not to bring him in…..
Any slot guys left?
Alex Taylor
Steven Montez
Ron’Dell Carter
Jonathan Garvin
Benito Jones
Tear Tart
Derrek Tuszka
Rodrigo Blankenship
Javelin Guidry
Marc-Antoine Dequoy
I know hope springs eternal when literally all you know about a player are his youtube highlight reels – – but, I’m kind of intrigued by both the Parkinson and Deejay Dallas picks. Parkinson seems like a tweener – in his highlights he really does look/carry himself like a big WR, you could see a guy like that being a useful here-and-there target for RW.
And Dallas looks like a pretty good mix of speed and power – – and any guy who averages 17+ yards per punt return has to have some quickness.
I know the odds are against these guys making any impact, but interesting to think about at least, and a welcome break from the sports oblivion of these days. . .
Parkinson will have an impact, Russ loves big targets.
Remember how Jimmy Graham wanted to be tagged as a. receiver because NO split him out wide so often. Parkinson is a TE but Seattle will split him out to create mismatches.
Swain has nfl speed, can play special teams, return kicks, has pretty great hands according to Miami fans. Tough fast competitive, broke out his senior year in a tuff SEC, perfect freaking pick. I like him better the Ursua honestly.I think he’ll vibe with russell and contribute as a rookie. Under the radar hidden gem. Love it so much, we rocked this draft. We just need to bring in DTs and corners in UDFA
Thanks, Rob.
Perplexing that they didn’t take advantage of the O-tackle class at all. They seem to be waiting until it’s an emergency, which is concerning. If they’d retained Fant, I’d get it. As it is, we can probably expect an ugly year or two at that position in a year or two.
Man, I’d have like Zach Moss or the Vanderbilt running back, who I think was severely underrated. Oh well.
Not the Florida receiver I saw us drafting but not a bad pick.
Time for Seattle to start calling priority free-agents
Quite a few good undrafted prospects to choose from
Millhouse, you were asking about what twitch is the other day. Freddie Swain’s got him some!
Found this on Parkinson form steelersdepot.com
There is a lot to like here. He has the size, length and athletic ability to be a mismatch and an end zone target from multiple alignments on the field. His overall blocking is solid at this point and he has a good about understanding body and hand positioning and can sustain well enough to keep his gap clear. There is room to improve on the route running and creating separation and his Pass Pro ability is fairly unknown at this point. He could serve as the #2 TE and red zone target early and I don’t think it will be long before he is starting.
Projection: 3rd round
Maybe he can create some cap space substituting Hollister
Eno to the Cardinals 🙁
Thius on Robinson from the same site:
Robinson has some good tools to win as a pass rusher with power and quickness, an assortment of moves and smartly goes after the ball when he gets to the QB. His run defense has room to improve but I’m not sure how much quicker they can make him going side to side. Teams love pass rushers especially those who can get off the ball quickly when you let him pin his ears back. He could be used as a sub package pass rusher initially before eventually becoming a starter.
Projection: 3rd round
Profound scouting reports with video analysis!
This a very under rated draft pick. Love what he might be able to become.
Aaron Rodgers ran McCarthy out of town……
proceeds to watch McCarthy draft a WR (weapons) with the 1st pick for Dallas…
Karma… bitches
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I don’t know why, but I’m kinda looking forward to seeing this Love-Rodgers drama unfold.
Vikings with 3 more picks!
One of the stepbrothers clues had to have been Freddie Swain. Will Ferrell was a pimp in college named ‘Gator.’ Someone said that on here too.
Not Step Brothers. The Other Guys.
IDK, man. I have a hard time believing that PC (if they are even coherent clues at all) has enough confidence that some guy they might target on late day 3 will actually still be there for them. I think Darrell Taylor was their guy and most clues pointed to him.
Maybe. If you trust in your evaluation it’s possible.
Trade back in for Blankenship!!! He is SO worth a 2021 6th and 7th. I’d give up a 2021 5th to be able to draft him.
Vol, I could see that rumor being true about wanting a WR in the 3-5 range. However, if they only missed out on a WR, that’s good news to me. Wasnt the biggest need. Much rather then miss out on their WR than their DE
For sure.
For sure. And I like the Swain pick. We’ve got Dorsett. See about getting Gordon back in and let Ursua and Swain battle it out in the slot.
Agreed. Plus, Parkinson is basically a WR anyway.
Apparently the Seahawks told him he will by a Y TE for them. At least that’s what he said on the draft conference call. If so, lots of development will be taking place. I don’t remember a block in sight when I glanced at him way back on my “TE deep dive”.
It’s kind of a disturbing trend, though. Last year we left a DL-rich draft with a DL that barely played and never contibuted. This year we leave a WR-rich draft with a late-round pick who wasn’t very productive in college.
If we had to eat pick 27, I’d much rather have gone OT or WR and picked up another LB (Harrison or Gay) later on. Oh well.
I’ve warmed up on Brooks pick a lot. This was going to be a HUGE need in 1-2 years at a position they clearly value a lot. I like Brooks for it, even if it was a year early
It would be pretty sweet to land Alex Taylor as a UDFA.
Other than the DK pick, I like this draft much more than last year. And I actually like the Jordyn Brooks pick too. That one, the 2 pass rushers, and Damien Lewis are *chef’s kiss*
+12
That’s cause this year all the dudes have one thing: upside.
Agreed. Love Dallas too for what we need
I hope we see more Marquise Blair this year. Him and Brooks could be the injection of speed, physicality, and tone setting the 2nd & 3rd levels were so desperate for last year. And if Amadi locks it down at nickel? Maaaan.
I still don’t like the Brooks pick. Wilson or a more exciting receiver would have been preferable. I love the ends we drafted. Dallas is solid,he and Swain could handle return duties. Lewis was the best pick of their draft. Parkinson could be something too. A defensive tackle would have been nice but just wasn’t meant to be.
Solid B draft, could be higher depending on what Brooks contributes as a rookie.
Been thinking about how that all went down V12. If the rumors are true that BAL was eyeing Brooks at 28, had SEA consummated the trade with GB for 30 and 136, SEA would’ve missed on Brooks and taken Taylor at 30. We’ll never know who they’d have taken at 136, or if they’d have packaged it with another and moved up for someone, but I’m pretty sure we’re going to be happy that didn’t happen.
I wasn’t that familiar with Wagner coming out of UT St but I’m buying into the Brooks/Wagner comp. They have similar stature/size, similar athleticism, similar aggressive stye of play. I’m not saying Brooks is going to become one of, if not the best, LBs in football like Wagner, but I’m very optimistic about him and the pick.
And to think they got both Brooks and Taylor…
V12, Chiefs just took Bopete Keyes.
Man, what? I guess it’s a good thing they’re my AFC team.
Ayyy they’re my 3rd favorite team and technically my AFC team too lol
For real? Well, now I have someone to talk Chiefs sh** with. Who’s your 2nd? Tampa Bay? Was that someone else?
For sure man! And yeah I’m a big Bucs guy. Idk what it is about them, Josh Freeman just made me feel some type a way 😉
Just realized I picked my 3 top teams all at the same time lol. Hawks, Bucs and Chiefs. All for different reasons.
We also need a backup QB…
Bryant is probably thinking about his senior year about right now.
Well, I’d say that’s a wrap. It’s been a fun draft with y’all and I’ll be interested to find out tomorrow who our UDFA signings are.
Then we can dig into our draft class some more.
In the words of DK Metcalf: ✌️
15 more picks and some fun begins…
I love what the Eagles have done this offseason. Idk why EDP is trippin lol
Whens the last time 0 punters and kickers got drafted?
Nvm Falcons drafted a punter
Didn’t the Patriots take a kicker in the 5th round?
You are correct sir, thank you. I didnt have a good site to find out. Must have missed that one
Here you go, Coleslaw: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/04/25/jets-select-texas-am-punter-braden-mann-in-sixth-round/
Whoever said earlier that they think the top 3 picks are impact players, I totally agree. Taylor and Lewis will be immediate contributors, and even if Brooks is just SAM this year, he will eventually be a stud starter for us.
3 potential blue chip players there.
Which guard position do we think Lewis will play this year? LG? Haynes has some potential. No way Iupati can be healthy for too long of a stretch. It was pretty clear he was done last year with all the times he had to leaves games to various injuries. Former stud warrior simply on a few last fumes these days. Will Fluker be back with certaintly at RG? Idk.
If Taylor is who they hope he will be – I would expect a lot of Clowney (if he returns) rushing from the interior this season.
I would go RG for Lewis.
Kinda wanna do a piece on a watchlist or highlight some guys for ’21 and some strengths of the class next weekend. Would anybody care or be down for that?
I think we all would love that!
Haha now that our binge is over gotta look for something else CFB/draft related to satisfy our football jones
Still have the salary capacity to sign Clowney for 2 years. Get it done!
If they have moved on from Clowney, let’s start talking to Jax about a trade for Ngakoue similar to the Clowney deal – 3rd round, no franchise tag promise,
Sign CJ Prosise for vet minimum
Sign a DT for vet minimum
Give me TE Stephen Sullivan and CB Michael Jacquet III as UDFA projects.
Let’s not sign Prosise and leave that IR spot open for a change.
Not having a 7th rounder this year might have given them more time to set up getting the UDFA’s they want. Excited to see who we pick up.
Rob you made this draft interesting and definitely informative. Thanks for your hard work and endless hours
Fresno Hawk by way of Seattle,Abbotsford and Kitsilano
Have they just traded back into the 7th round?
yes
We just traded back into the draft to take Miami’s late 7th here in a couple picks!!
151?
Must if felt like they couldn’t get this guy in UDFA
251
That is crazy dope.
LSU TE Stephen Sullivan!
I’m excited about this pick
Rob or others – assuming we made no more additions to the front seven, what do you think the current depth chart would be for our front seven? I struggle at which position each guy plays (Edge/5/Leo) in our system and was curious what you thought. This was my first take. Thanks.
DE: Taylor, Collier, Green
DT: Reed, Jones
DT: Ford, Christmas
DE: Mayowe, Irvin, Robinson
DE: Mayowa, Collier, Jackson
DT: Reed, Christmas, Mone
DT: Poona, Nazair Jones,
DE: Irvin, Taylor, Green
WLB: Wright, BBK
MLB: Wagner, Barton
SLB: Brooks, Griffin
Forgot Robinson lol he could push Green to the other side
Thank you for clearing that up for me, I appreciate it! Can’t imagine they will carry more than ten defensive lineman (I may be wrong), but wondering if we did in fact sign Clowney or a Griffen, who makes the team? There’s a lot of bodies there.
Seattle uses two main types of DE’s, but they have adjusted some based on personnel over the years. Collier does not play the LEO DE, he plays 5-tech DE (usually left side of D) on run downs, and it was hoped he’d slide inside to DT on pass rushing downs. Rasheem Green the same. Taylor and Robinso appear to be Chris Clemons clones, perfect LEOs. Irvin and Mayowa are not great vs the run at DE, so will likely be third down pass rushing DE’s….
Thanks, appreciate the extra info…I think I have a better understanding.
LEO Taylor, Robinson
5 Collier, Green, Clowney?
3rd down: Irvin, Mayowa
1 Ford, Jones
3 Reed, Christmas
Hmmmmm 🤔
I like the player, but….
You think he coulda been had in UFA?
I think so, but with all the guys they have there would he have come here?
The hawks didn’t think so, LMAO…
I suppose, having Parkinson already, he wouldn’t have come here.
Hollister could be traded (he has some value). Same thing we did with Justin Coleman. Got more value out of him play and then future return than what we paid NE.
Time for Big Boy football. Not a blocker, but a big dude. Love Hollister, just the fact that he has some value. Willson may not make it. Dissly can start year on IR. Olsen injury prone.
Hollister was an emergency fill in that dropped balls, fumbled in the playoffs, and because undersized, was stonewalled at the 1 in a division deciding last minute drive. He gave valiant effort but really has no business being on the roster come September unless 3 TE get hurt in the preseason.
Hawks trade back in and select Te Stephens LSU. 6th TE on roster. That’s the blocking TE.
Sullivan
Luke is gone and Hollister traded or cut
They just drafted another TE.
I am assuming they knew there’s no way he’d sign with them as a UDFA since they already have 395 TEs on the roster. I know if I was a TE – I wouldn’t sign with the Seahawks with all the TEs they have. But if I was a UDFA DT – I’d be wanting to sign, big time!
So they knew they needed to trade for him if they wanted him. Smart move, imo.
Also one more year on the contract.
Agreed
Exactly my thoughts… I’m guessing this means Willson & Hollister are gone unless Dissly isn’t ready for the start of the season.
Olsen
Dissly
Parkinson
Sullivan
cuts: Willson, Hollister & Johnson
Yay!!! I had Sullivan mocked to us in a bunch of our mock’s, unfortunately I don’t think his was on my final submission.
Great value pick in Sullivan
Many talked about him as a WR convert.
Decent blocker. Athletic, insanely long limbs. Not sure how he makes the roster but it’s a cool player.
Had a great week at the Senior Bowl. Tony Pauline was praising him all week for his receiving and mainly blocking pancaking guys. Guess we’re cutting Willson and trading/cutting Hollister too? Now on to UDFAs…
I think we know who the reigning champion of Seahawks draft sites is.

Thanks for creating the single best NFL site on the internet, Rob. And to my fellow SDB fans, please click the Patreon link and send Rob some financial support as a thank you.
I don’t get it, yet another Non need pick.
Is he possibly a FB or Hback?
I bet Sullivan was a had to have and didn’t want to risk not losing him in UDFA.
I really, really like Sullivan as a long term project.
Im convinced we are being trolled at this point with the TE position.
I know Bryant doesnt make sense really since we got a receiving only TE already but really wondering what happened with him. Figured someone would have taken a flier.
Mr. Irrelevant next. Great year, love you all
Honestly I’d convert this guy to wide receiver. Remember Chris Matthews in the Super Bowl? Secret weapon to stockpile. 6’5 with freakishly long arms.
This is the summary of Sullivan from ESPN:
Pre-Draft Analysis
Sullivan has an exceptional combination of size, length and speed. He had the longest arms and tied for the second-fastest 40-yard dash time of all the tight ends at the combine. Production and tape never matched talent at LSU, and he’s a marginal blocker who is unlikely to develop into an effective in-line blocker at the NFL level. — Steve Muench
I guess a blocking TE he isn’t.
Cool athlete to take a chance with.
I absolutely love this pick. This screams they are thinking something creative and strikes me as a guy they had to have.
Seahawks referring to him as a WR…hmm, very very interesting.
Maybe they are going with a big slot?
I think he’ll be right in the mix at wide receiver. We lost Brown and probably Gordon. Bringing in Sullivan Swain and Dorsett is so cool. Love how the competition looks now with Malik Turner back there and Ursua sticking around so far. Moore Dk and Lockett are probably locks so that leaves you with a pretty nice competition.
Also sounds like he was a coaches favorite at LSU. That’s the first comment Zierlein makes about him.
I think Captain Jack was onto something referring to him in the Chris Matthews mold.
He is listed at 6’5″ and 248#
Well if they’re considering him a WR maybe we can still convince Hunter Bryant to join our army of TEs 🙂
There must be an injury issue.
I also hate to read too much into this stuff…but I wonder if there is sincere concern about Dissly, not only this year, but moving forward.
That, Olsen is ancient, Hollister is JAG (a bit better TBF), and Willson is inconsistent. Pete IMO has always wanted a 2 TE set as well. They can do some different things with him and Parkinson now.
And Dissly, health permitting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAzCzOMsFQc
Let the UDFA games… Begin!!!!
Another high character play with a team first attitude, played WR for three years before converting to TE, must be for the Big slot. Ok I like the player but wish we had of gone for a DT.
player
He’ll be a developmental player. Probably won’t see him on the roster this year. Likely to spend the year on the Taxi squad learning how to play WR. He’ll be easy to get through waivers. Who’s going to claim a guy who was a late 7th? His value is more long term.
Love the upside and grit of Sullivan. Between him and Parkinson I’d say they’re looking for a “touchdown maker”!
If both draft TE’s make the roster and they go with four it could be curtains for Willson and Hollister. Things are looking really grim now for Hollister and his $3.259m
Which team do you guys think had the best draft? I liked the Vikings, Dolphins, and Ravens drafts.
From Tony Pauline’s PFN analysis of Stephen Sullivan during Senior Bowl week practices.
“Tuesday
For someone rarely used in the offense employed by the national champion LSU Tigers, Sullivan acquitted himself well on Tuesday. He’s a good athlete with enough speed to split the seam and get downfield. Sullivan also caught the ball reasonably well.
Wednesday
Sullivan looked terrific all day and was the most impressive tight end on the South. He was dominant as a blocker and made a lot of big plays catching the ball. He oozes with athleticism and shows speed down the field and strength at the point.
Thursday
Thursday was another solid day for Sullivan, who showed a lot of athleticism and looks like a natural pass catcher.
Overall Analysis
Sullivan, the little used LSU tight end who entered the season graded as a free agent, firmly established himself as a day three pick in Mobile. He got better and better each day displaying athleticism, pass catching hands and blocking strength. It’s fair to say Sullivan was one of the biggest surprises during Senior Bowl practice.”
It was a hope of mine to come out of this class with multiple LSU players so this at least accomplishes that.
UDFA Wish List:
Benito Jones
Teair Tart
Thaddeus Moss
Trey Adams
Lamar Jackson
Rodrigo Blankenship
Lawrence Cager
Javon Leake
JR Reed
Oluwole Betiku
Jeff Thomas
Anthony Gordon
Essang Bassey
Sewo Olonilua
Madre Harper
Myles Bryant
Tavien Feaster
Terence Steele OT. Big and long would be a nice developmental tackle.
+12
Out of curiousity, what is the deadline used for compensatory consideration? Is there a chance we can still cut some of the players we signed, and have some of our players signed, that would still allow for us to get compensatory picks next year?
Pretty sure it is April 27 but do not see that happening.
OT – Trey Adams
OT – Alex Taylor
OT – Yasir Durant
DT – Benito Jones
DE – Oluwole Betiku Jr
DE – Nick Coe
QB – Anthony Gordon
QB – Steven Montez
CB – Luq Barcoo
K – Rodrigo Blankenship
UDFA gonna be fun. Should we bring in some of the undrafted pups from across the lake?
53 player roster will look quite different. I see lots of vet gone or trade out. Cap space will look quite different
*55 player roster
Hollisters days could be numbered. He might go through camp but not sure he comes through the other side.
Starting to feel like Seattle is looking for that 3rd pass catching option to be a TE.
It’s been a miserable draft for the Huskies. No wonder they had such a poor season. They had very little NFL quality on their team. All the players drafted went later than expected and several key performers didn’t even get a call. Surprising.
That’s the not-so-dirty secret about 2019 – UW wasn’t great because well…their upper class men weren’t that good. They have some monsters coming up, though.
Looks like the 49ers signed Salvon Ahmed.
Oh they can start signing right away?
Some seahawks fans piss me the f off
Seriously how are people mad about adding an all-upside 6’5 long armed fast receiver receiver/flex tight end in late round seven? Just adds to the offensive potential down the road. What am I missing here? Why the incessant whining and hatred towards every young man we bring in to help the team? I can see not agreeing with who we draft in round one… bitching and moaning about a high upside guy in round seven? A guy who was once homeless and just got to hear his name called during the NFL draft? It is pathetic. It makes me f*cking sick honestly.
Unfortunately, I feel bad commenting on this because of how I reacted to the Brooks pick (and some others), but I do agree about these late rounders. They are simply guys that they want to get and can’t risk letting go the UDFA route.
Sullivan is an incredible story and offers incredible potential. What more do folks want from a 7th rounder?
Like I said I understand having opinions about who your team drafts that high. But getting angry over seventh round fliers is just bizarre.
I agree. I’m still floored they chose not one DT, and no WR with blazing speed, and waited so long to get a rb. Drafting two very similar move TEs is weird too, especially considering they squatted on Hollister by tendering him at a second round level. If I’m Hollister, I am feeling ripped off.
Still, for all that, Seattle filled needs, got three guys I feel will be fine players, with three more having a good chance to be impact players, and a player or two they are taking a flyer on….a good haul.
Still, the Rams, Cards, Niners, Chiefs all appeared to do even better….which sucks, but so it goes…
Sullivan’s back story is simply incredible.
I get what this draft was about…they are trying to recreate the edge they had in 2012-13-14…most of these guys were forced to grow up quick. Don’t take anything for granted. Were willing to take the long, hard road. Extremely admirable characters they are bringing in.
I’m also thinking we are going to see a lot more creativity on offense this year. Parkinson and Sullivan picks have me rubbing my chin, thinking of the possibilities – especially when you have DK and Lockett who can take the top off.
Perhaps they were never on the market for a Hamler or Aiyuk or Reagor? I don’t know; just speculating that maybe the idea is to go monsters inside and speed on the perimeter.
6’7 Stanford bred tight end who doesn’t drop any passes in round four. Can’t believe how many seahawks fans were unhappy with that. So many new weapons for Schotty and Russ to play with.
+12
I think we had an incredible draft and do love the character type players they targeted, I wasn’t aware of Sullivan’s story, happy for him and looking forward to watching Russ open it up down the field, also can’t wait to see a faster hard hitting defense. These players are going to be hungry to prove themselves and help the team.
Thank you for all your incredible hard work Rob, you are a very talented and dedicated man, you hit the mark on so many players.
Go Hawks
Go read some of the stories about Sullivan…simply incredible. It’s amazing to see these guys get dealt the worst hands in life, work through it, and not have bitterness about it. Really admirable stuff.
Thanks Hawksgal that’s really appreciated.
First UDFA name I am seeing is Eli Mencer from Albany, had 14.5 sacks last year, 6’1 229 lbs. Solid pickup for inside linebacker depth
Anthony Gordon UDFA
Hey lets gooooo. That will be fun in the preseason.
Dude!! I love Gordon…that is a legit backup that could develop into more.
Haven’t seen much tape so please excuse my ignorance, but how would Sullivan compare to someone like Kelvin Benjamin?
Actually…that’s kind of a great comparison. I will say I do think Sullivan is a better functional athlete – meaning he is just more flexible and fluid in his movements.
The obvious difference is Benjamin had serious production…but that’s why the draft stock was totally different.
Interesting comp.
Very different

Nice pre draft PKG on Sullivan from WDSU.
Baylor safety Chris Miller and Stony Brook CB Gavin Heslop have been signed.

James Madison is also in the conference with Albany and Stony Brook, so hopefully we sign DEs Carter and Daka of JMU.
Signed DT Marcus Webb of Troy.
Also signed FIU RB Anthony Jones.
