Dre’Mont Jones is a Seahawk

Pretty good analysis here

 

[Hockey Guy]

Sam Darnold is a back up.

You're assuming either Lance or Purdy or both are ready for the opener.

I would not count on that.

Sam Darnold is the starter. Trey Lance is being transitioned to the scout team if a trade doesn’t happen by training camp

Dunno - know he’s a disrupter - but I saw some runs getting stuffed 3-5 yards back of the LOS in his highlight reel (which is the sum total of what I know about him). I don’t care who he grabs 3 yards behind the line - just whoever has the ball!

I’ll take that…. also llike being able to move him around for sure. if adams can get healthy - we’ve got two of ‘em that can line up wherever -

Guy on from Denver sports radio described Jones as Michael Bennett if Michael Bennett actually cared about working out. Meaning he's a gap destroyer, but also has an insane motor and strength.

Also said he was a fantastic locker room guy, and that's saying something with how divided and dysfunctional the Bronco's locker room was last season.

If he could have Michael Bennett type production minus the neutral zone infractions, that would be awesome.

Sidney Jones cost basically nothing. I dont think anyone outside of big UW homers thought much of it. Did he even play a full season here? He definitely wasnt considered "top tier".

Damn, did I say Sydney Jones? I meant Sydney Rice. I can't keep my Joneses straight. Sorry about that!

No worries, only minimal psychological trauma occurred.

Sam Darnold is a back up.

I think Darnold was a sneaky-good signing. He was better than Purdy in a slightly smaller sample (on a vastly inferior team) in 2022. I wouldn't be shocked to see Darnold starting next season, especially if the trend of Little Shanny in the Big Hat getting his QBs injured continues, and I wouldn't be shocked if Darnold were actually good as a starter. Annoyed, yes. Shocked, no.

I'd think that sounds pretty accurate. His motor and strength are evident on the highlight reels he has -

I also think his numbers lie a bit. Just like DK draws coverage, I was watching his highlights, and I saw 2-3 instances at least where HE broke down the coverage/defender, and someone right behind him came through to mop up and make the actual tackle/sack.

Excited about this dude.

I never lived in Chicago. I lived in Urbana, but have been in Chicago many times. I think he was probably referring to the fact that Chicago has the highest homicide rate in the U.S. I would not feel safe on the South side on Saturday night.

it doesn't though

 

[CDN_C_Hawk]

What's this mean for drafting Carter?

Looks like Jones is more of a DE/Edge...and all likelihood Poona moves on.....if Carter is there at #5 , he's a Seahawk run stuffer.

 

[Bear-Hawk]

it doesn't though

You’re right. Chicago was #7 in 2022, but I still wouldn’t feel safe on the South side streets on Saturday night.

 

[bsuhawk]

Just ran a PFF simulator mock draft and our defensive front now includes Uchenna Nwosu, Dre'Mont Jones, Mazi Smith, and Will Anderson (Cards drafted Jalen Carter). I could live with that.

Guess I need to update it again. Defensive front: Uchenna Nwosu, Dre'Mont Jones, Mazi Smith, Jarran Reed, and Will Anderson

Take this conversation to the lounge.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Dude is a beast. And for what D Lineman are getting, I'm pretty happy with the deal. Like other deals, we'll see how the numbers look etc.
We were on our way ot the Kraken game and talking about how they rarely do anything on day 1. About an hour later, boom.

You're hired! Don't get too comfortable though, if you miss out on Anderson and Mazi then we'll give John Schneider another crack at things.

 

[Recon_Hawk]

JohN Schneider said on his weekly radio interview on 710 that he goes by Dre Jones not Dre'Mont fyi

New Seahawks DT Dre'Mont Jones told
@SeattleSports
that there was too much unnecessary drama in Denver last year and football didn't seem as important as it needed to be. "Being able to work together is overly important. I want to play for the guy next to me."
