Does Seattle's future take a hit if next year's draft isn't completely nailed?
Now, they have the LOB intact for a few more years, Russell Wilson is extended most likely, Lynch may or may not be on the team next year(I assume that he will play), Wagner needs a contract, pretty much the entire team value goes up with new contracts soon. And probably none of them will take a hometown discount, whatever that may possibly mean.
Pete's strength last year was that he had a lot of depth thanks to the draft and their guys who are signed to rookie contracts. Seems with all the injuries they've had(Wagner, Chancellor, etc), they really need to get this draft nailed, because the last two years haven't really panned out for them, I mean, KPL was doing great until he had to go to the IR, but other than that not really many players stand out.
I still have a love for Michael. If he can work on his vision and ball control skills, I still think he can be one of the top RB's in the league in 4-5 years. Remember, it took Marshawn Lynch a few years of the draft + a trade to realize his potential. Problem with Michael, is that he wasn't drafted to be a starter, like Lynch was in Buffalo. He has only backup snaps and even then that's not enough to project him currently. We'll never be able to fully realize Michael until Lynch has left the team. Hopefully JS doesn't give up on him while Lynch is playing, it's just a fact that Michael will never be as popular as Lynch is, and if people expect Michael to put up Lynch numbers, well, you'll be highly disappointed.
I don't understand why this board is down on Paul Richardson. I've read the other thread on him and yes, he's not great. He has had problems as a WR. But he's just a rookie. It takes time to learn the WR position and with Baldwin and Kearse running the show, Richardson won't get many snaps. The few snaps Richardson has had he has not looked great. But then again, why should a few snaps say the most about him? We will never be able to judge him until he gets starting WR snaps and plays 75%-80% of many games.
Anyway, If next year's draft isn't nailed, I don't think the future will be hit as long as the LOB and Wilson remain a part of the team, but JS has to hit on the majority of players, and I'm confident that he will.
Thoughts?
