I can understand how you many want to package a number of picks, position yourselves for the player that others may overlook.
But someday you have to select those game changers. John thinks you can build a Super Bowl team consistently with 7th rounders. You can't build the team with high school players. Occasionally yes you do find that diamond in the rough and you look like a genius. It's not going to happen every year.
But "My Lawd" as Marshawn would have said, what happened here tonight is a complete travesty to the fans and those who follow the Seahawks. I stayed up all night for nothing. Should have gone to bed. Right now I just don't know what direction
this team is going in.
I've said it plenty of times, Pete Carroll and John Schneider will only pick in the first round if they find the player they covet can bring them sufficient or immediate value to justify using that first round pick.
I've always like that about this front office. They won't make a pick just to make a pick.
All and all, the draft really is a crapshoot.
Increase the number of picks you have and you'll increase the chances these picks make an impact.
It would be one thing if the Hawks moved a substantial amount back but they didn't and secured additional picks.
You can pretty think of it as the players they could have chosen aren't worthy of the selection.
I'm still crossing my fingers for both Kevin King and Budda Baker!!
The Hawks played this first day just about as good as they can with what was available to them.
Just R-E-L-A-X, Carroll and Schneider know what they are doing!
