I'll gladly take a 2nd rounder in exchange for DK. Good trade.
Same here... Very happy to have gotten a 2nd rounder...

Now let's see what kind of supporting receiver cast we can build around JSN...

My hope is that they're going to right-size this roster in terms of where resources are being spent and use this draft capital more on positions that help achieve the stated identity of running the ball and hard nosed defense. I am not saying none of these picks (or others) will be used on a receiver, but that shouldn't be the priority.

We now have a 1st, 2 2nds, and 2 3rds in this upcoming draft. I like it.

Looks like he was traded to the Steelers for a 2nd rounder... He signed a 5yr / 150 million contract...
Well alright then. Looks like it was about the money entirely. Said he wanted a warm weather team-that's not Pittsburgh, wanted to go to a contender- Are the Steelers contenders?, QB? Heck they don't know who the QB will be. So JUST about the money it seems. So the Seahawks get more cap space and save on 26 and beyond. Just make the right choices spending it. Oh yeah the second round pick works also.

We will also omit about 4 or 5 unsportsmanlike penalties per year with DK gone. I liked the guy, but he was a hot-head and bonehead quite often.

I like it as well... Build the defenses and the trenches...

I mentioned a week ago in a post that Kubiak used the most multiple TE sets in the NFL last year... He also likes receivers that block well... DK was ranked #54 and Lockett was ranked #99 so my guess we're going to focus a bit on receivers who can block... TE's will probably be a focus as well...

Why are you always so negative?
It's been more than a decade since they've had a big multi-hit draft class and without one now, this team is back to severe mediocrity as their ceiling.

Maybe this staff can have a big draft, but I'm not holding my breath. They will be relying on too many rookies.

Not real excited on any of the QBs being discussed either.

I won't miss Geno, but I fear they end up with someone worse.

FA opens in a few days. Let's see what moves they make and maybe that'll give us an idea on possibly which side of the ball gets drafted R1.

Whats our Cap space now? 72 million? Like the 5th most in the NFL? I think our Dead money is also like around 60+ Million so thats a HUGE bonus in 2026. You roll that over and thats 130 million + what the cap goes up to next year. The Hawks have a massive amount of wiggle room for future contract space. They can backload a couple contracts and it wont hurt them all that much if at all. Nice to see this bloat going away.

Go out and resign Lockett to a 1 or 2 year deal just so you dont have to dip to hard in looking for a #2 WR. Im fine with JSN Lockett and Bobo/ whoever else going into the 2025 season.

I have no worry about the defense other than they could spend too much focus on that side and not have enough resources to rebuild an offence that has been torn down to the foundation.

QB has me quite skeptical. The Oline terrified.
