Official Seahawks draft discussion thread

New England took my guy in this draft: Dobson.

Keenan Allen and Quinton Patton are both still on the board. Both I think will be good WRs.

Here we go!!!!
Lotta good stuff on the board, but the 3 guys I predicted this year are all gone.

If I had to make a prediction I'd guess Patton because the Seahawks showed interest in him in the off-season.

I can agree with that - probably the best guess right now.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Seahawks instantly submitted their pick. They know who they want.

 

[seahawksfan234]

No commercial yet. But instead they'll talk about the Fudge Packers for the next 5 hours.

 

[3PhilNgood]

yeah, saw that on the live stream.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Christine Michael... Are you fucking kidding me?

 

[HaroldSeattle]

You got to kidding

Hate to be a nay sayer but a running back?

 

[3PhilNgood]

exciting!
This guy is loaded with ability.

 

[octagondd]

BPA?

 

[3PhilNgood]

Leon is gone; so we needed a 3rd back. Turbin is good, but Michael has more "beast mode" inside.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Wouldn't consider him the best player on the board at all. Shocking pick IMO.

Complete waste of a pick. Robert Turbin is a really good #2 and Michael will be a 3rd string runningback. Do not understand this pick at all.

 

[3PhilNgood]

Possesses prototypical height with a thick and muscular frame. Has average arm length (31.4) and hand size (9.3).Turned in an exceptional combine workout, finishing in the top half of all RBs since 1999 in the 40 and in the top 10-percent in every other measurable event.

2nd round is not where you get a 3rd string runningback.

That's reserved for the 5th, 6th and 7th rounds.

I got one of the guys I wanted if you look at my old threads, didn't think they actually would. Christine Michael is dope, I thought he could be the best RB in the draft. I also like Stephan Taylor and Andre Ellington

 

[3PhilNgood]

Displays an effective jump-cut and can consistently make penetrating DL miss. His stop-and-start ability is above average. He has adequate lateral agility. Flashes ability to make quick lateral cuts in the hole without losing momentum but not consistent enough in this area. Acceleration off of cut is adequate-to-good but not great. Reaches top speed quickly but does not show a second-gear in open field. Not an elusive runner in space.
Power/Balance 2 Balance and center of gravity are two of his best qualities as a runner. Runs low and behind his pads. Displays adequate initial pop and will bounce off some defenders. Typically falls forward at end of runs and will churn out some yards with good finishing leg drive. Would like to see him run with knees higher.

Will it is a good thing thing we have no trolls on this board.

Sounds a little like Marshawn Lynch

Here's the point: you always need 2 RBs that are more than just some dude with a number. You need guys that can make plays. Turbin is a quality #2, but he's unlikely to ever be a player that teams have to game plan against (like Lynch). Michael has the potential to be a dangerous #1 down the road if he pans out - that is something that usually don't find in the 5th or 6th.
