2025 season thread

I have a feeling we will see a lot of Olineman drafted by the hawks in their first 5 picks.

Well, we should find out how much that will be a thing by tomorrow EOD (Jenkins).

We have needs at DL, EDGE, and if Mac wants Emmanwori... well, that's a thing too... lol. And if we do want a QB this draft, yah, resources start to dwindle. I was not a huge fan of Kupp, but I'm a less fan of it now given we spent $37.5M this year on Darnold. I can't imagine how we get Jenkins to work given that.

Took a I'd look at teams drafting after the Seahawks who need OL. (Using NFL.com)

Trading down could really backfire.

Jensen plays fine when healthy, but he can't stay healthy, which is why he is still available. Seahawks don't find a solution for the OL the season is finished, every other need, every other want, can wait until they finish building the OL IMO. Don't get cute, just man up and draft the best OL available that fit zone blocking. Then you can address other things.

I tagged Emmanwori as one of my wants like 4 to 6 months ago on this very board. Hawks need a big Safety and have been in need of a in the box safety for some time now. I will not be unhappy if they draft him.

well it's good to see the injury list get smaller instead of growing more. We need all these guys back ASAP.

So who is the stud Linebacker/s in the 2025 draft? lol Jalon Walker*?? (MLB)Danny Stutsman??? Jihaad Campbell??? Nick Martin??? (MLB) Lander Barton. Maybe safety Nick Emmanwori

* He is the one i want.

I myself would like to see a bigger strong safety taken in the mid to late first.

taken from a mock that has us taking Emmanwori.
Nick Emmanwori’s latest comp is to that of Washington Commanders safety Jeremy Chinn, but that might actually undersell the athleticism and elite traits Emmanwori brings to the table. He’s poised to light up the Combine with his testing numbers and has consistently displayed elite athleticism for South Carolina throughout 2024.

Emmanwori is a true three-down safety with the hard-hitting mindset of an old-school enforcer, reminiscent of the Legion of Boom days.

I see linebacker as a BIG weakness on this team. These guys are not filling the hole they are late to react and only one of them seems to have the right make-up to cover sideline to sideline and he is a rookie. Your two middle linebackers in a 3-4 need to be fast, quick reacting players. There are some good Linebackers ( OLB and ILB ) in this coming draft that the Hawks can grab late in the 1st ( Trade back/Trade up ) or early 2nd if lucky.

Good linebackers can fix a lot of evil in the running game defense. I see a lot of uncovered Seahawks Linebackers just not making plays. What i mean by uncovered is they are not being harrassed to much by blockers because they have to keep guys in to account for the Hawks DL and DE's This in turn cuts down the number of plays made by the DL and DE's leaving Linebackers to fill and make plays ( Like they are supposed to ) there is a reason Linebackers typically lead the league in tackles every year lol.

Linebackers are SO VERY crucial to a successfull defense.

Also a nice SS that is 6-2+ 220+ that can come up to the line and play like a linebacker but can handle TE's and WR's. There are some of those in this draft also. S Nick Emmanwori would be a cool fit in that role. 6-3 220 and great speed at around 4.4.

Still don't see a QB i like, it's been pretty dry there lately.
