2019 Seahawks draft discussion thread

I'm good with Jennings and a guard
But they need
DL go get some...then some cbs as well

Agreed... but loving how we spent those two 4ths.

Phil Haynes, alright. I like the PURE guard pickup... that's definitely our weakness (outside of Ifedi) on the line... and Iupati/Fluker are injury concerns. Haynes could be a starter in 1-2 years. We need to get younger at the position especially if we're going to be a run first team.

Loving both 4th round picks so far. I think both Jennings/Haynes can be starters in this league, and I think Jennings was way underrated. He hauled in a fuck ton of catches for WV in the years that matter.

Rob Rang raved about this pick on KJR. Said something along the lines of Haynes being his favorite (or maybe it was "one of his favorite") players in the draft.

Not happy that AZ took Hakeem Butler; probably not a fit for us once we drafted Metcalf, but I watched a random game late in the year (I think it may have been their bowl game), and he was a fucking beast. Easily the best player on the field in that game.

I'll admit I don't know much about him or ever watched him (recognized the name), but I LOVE the position pick, the size, and he seems to have a GOOD punch. Seems like he'll be a strong rush lineman, dunno how good his pass blocking is. I get we have Fluker/Iupati, but both are major injury concerns, we had to shore up that position IMO before DL (which we already did with Collier).

That was definitely a solid pick by AZ.

Rang said he was a basketball player that they (I think Wake Forest) convinced to put on some weight and play football. Should be pretty athletic for the OL... interesting that he would be a Guard and not a Tackle.

Another Safety? Baffling.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Uh... okay? I'm not sure I get this pick and why it's now... I guess Delano Hill and Mike Tyson (no longer with team) are not what we wanted?

Amadi based on my understand is 100% a nickel type safety/CB. I guess he punt returns though? So we can get Lockett out of having to do that? I guess more competition at secondary though is good, regardless.

Dunno much about this kid. Walterfootball just gave him an A- which is the highest grade he gave us, so maybe there's something there?

Shaquille Griffin and Tre Flowers are busts?

Penny had a 4.9 YPA last year. Injuries slowed him down but he started to look really promising. No idea why you think he can't fit out offense.

griffin took a big step back last year, i dont think he is a starter in the NFL personally. flowers has promise, but lets see how he does this year.

penny isnt a fit, he is NOT a power runner. he is the type of back that requires a very good OL and we still dont have that. carson is the perfect back for our offense, penny is the complete opposite

lets face it, they havent done well on day 3 since maybe 2012? 2011? which makes sense, when youre picking that low the chances of hitting are slim to none. which is why i HATE continually trading down for picks that are far less likely to pan out.

 

[kcden]

5'9" DB? Did we go back to the Tim Ruskell era?

 

[MrS]

how dare you! drink your koolaid!!

i think he will play slot corner

Wut? Penny had 3.32 yards per carry when contacted AT or behind the line of scrimmage in College. He played great in almost every game with exception of Denver (first game as an NFL back), Dallas (top 5 rush D), and Chicago (top 5 rush D)...

Not sure wtf you're talking about bro.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Dang I would've liked Greg Gaines... but that's probably homerism (UW) talking.

Fucking Rams took another Dawg

Your hot takes are duly noted.

The Seahawks clearly need to hire you since you already know the future.

This is why no one takes you seriously. All you are is hot takes. Nothing useful.

I mean... I do think he'll end up as slot corner from what I read and the footage I recently watched. # of analysts seem to think it was a good value pick though. I'll admit I know nothing about the guy.

I know nothing about the guy. Then again, Snuggles only knows what some website tells him about the guy.

But what annoys is his constant "I don't drink the koolaid" nonsense. As if only his opinions have validity and every else is just a blind homer.

in college, playing against trash competition.

in the NFL he went down way too easy, showed almost no power. he is a shaun alexander clone

Hey... we just drafted Rudy.

I hope Kirven finds a role in this defense... kind of similar to the Griffin pick last year. This kid is all heart, and is an amazing tackler, but he needs space to do it. If the front 4 is not eating up beef Kirven is going to get swallowed up. If Collier is what we think he is (a Michael Bennett replacement), I think this might pan out. I could see him make some splash in a 4-3-4 package... he should be an amazing special teams add with Barton.

Russell Wilson of defense IMO. I watched a lot of this guy at UW and kept thinking, "Man if he was only 6'2"+ and 20 lbs heavier....
