Because Diggs is under a team friendly contract for a short-term considering his skill (He's worth more than what we're paying him). And I do believe Blair is the next Chancellor, it never hurts to have depth or think about the future considering we're a single-high safety defense. At #40, Delpit is a steal.
Also, TT and Hill are our current "depth". Enough said. Any other questions?
If you believe Blair is the next Chancellor, then I don't understand both of these players being taken. You don't spend top 90 overall picks on guys that you expect to be depth. You pick up cap casualties to supply short term depth.
I love the Chinn pick. I think come draft time he's going to rise to top 40 overall. Trade back isn't a bad option.
Cushenberry is a luxury pick (as are both safeties). It's a bad draft option to take multiple luxury players in your first two rounds. You need either a DE, WR in there. Like most of the other picks. Moss I'm not remotely a fan of. But otherwise ok value.
This UFA period has served to shore up OL and DBs. You can't go heavy on there again in the draft. One may as well presume we've already drafted Dunbar and Diggs in this draft (using two 2020 5th rounders).
However if it rolled out that way, I can see significant value as we'd be predrafting for eventual McDougald release (UFA 2021). And we'd be 3 safeties deep despite the loss with Chinn having crossover value at CB.
It would depend on what was on the board when you picked at 40. Delpit there is potential value. It's entirely possible he wasn't as good as 2018 seemed. But if there was significant availability of DE talent at 40, we are already obliged to dip into that position group.
I'll start this off by saying the biggest need in our roster is attitude. In my own opinion, I feel like we need to go back to the "punch them in their mouth" style, mainly on defense but partially on offense as well. With that being said:
-Delpit is Blair Insurance. As much as I have faith in Blair to be the next Chancellor, it doesn't hurt to have a contingency plan. And if Delpit turns out to be better than Blair, I'm thinking long-term and I'm locking Delpit up and trading Blair for future picks on the 3rd year of his contract (Thinking Business, not emotion, as much as I personally like Blair). Think about it: The strength of the Seahawks Defense has always been secondary.
-Cushenberry has the potential of being our future at Center. As it stands, we have a choice to restructure Britt or replace him. I say we replace for the future now instead of taking a chance at a center who has a drastic knee injury. (Once again, business and not personal)
-Chinn in my opinion is a shadow coverage player with the vision of a running back when he reaches for that interception. He will do wonders for our defense. He has the potential to play SS or FS and that kind of flexibility is what PC loves. (See McDougald)
-With Stenberg at Guard, Moss at TE, and McFarland at RB all in the same year? Paired with Dissly/Olsen/Fluker/Carson?! We'll be a force to be reckoned with on both sides of the ball.
