If Marshawn retires, I want..

Todd Gurley or Melvin Gordon with the 1st pick. Not even a question.

With or without the injury to Gurley and with or without Beast retiring, I want Gordon bad.

Gurley all day long. His knick name is "The Beast". Perfect replacement.

Somehow I think JS wants Gordon as well, he's reportedly visited that team twice.

That would be a fair assumption since we have literally nobody else worth looking at who will be in the draft this year. I wish I was exaggerating sigh.

Why do you think so? I haven't evaluated the prospects like I have in the past but I keep up with the draft talk. The word is this is suppose to be a deep talented draft for running backs.

Personally I think Pete and John would roll with Turbin and Cmike as their top two RBs if we play without Lynch next year.

Regardless of whether Marshawn retires, and I don't think he will, they should draft Gurley if available, and he probably won't be.

Gurley appears to be the closest thing to Marshawn in this draft, and we can afford to "redshirt" him if Marshawn returns as expected.

Gordon is very impressive. He has incredible vision, runs high and has a slashing running style in the same vein as Adrian Petersen . . . not quite as physically developed as Petersen and goes down a little too easily at times.

So, you guys keep up with Seattle a little bit more than I do. What's your feeling, if I may ask, on whether or not Lynch will be back?

I hope he doesn't, but my suspicion is that he'll retire after the season. Especially when he gets grilled by the media and subsequently the NFL next week.

I don't think the Seahawks would choose to release him at this stage. I'd hope not, anyway.

If we have a shot at Gurley, especially, or Gordon in the draft I hope Schneider drafts him. Whatever happens next season, Lynch won't be here much longer.

Perfect replacement with an ACL injury... how well did that work with Paul Richardson?

after rereading this I see I misunderstood you. You're a Wisconsin fan. I get what you're saying now.

Gordon would be incredibly fun to get, but I'm not really sure he could fill Lynch's role. Gurley probably could.

Maybe I am nuts, but I would be okay with Seattle making a Terrell Pryor type trade for Trent Richardson. Pay a 7th rounder and give him a one month audition next August. He absolutely has the physical talent, but needs coaching up badly.

Was thinking the exact same thing. Although their styles are very different. But Lynch was a similarly disavowed talent for Buffalo when we got him. It was commonly considered a good trade from the Buffalo perspective.

What's wrong with CMike? I think wr is a way more pressing need even if ML retires. I don't think he will and I would love to see WVU Wr Kevin White in a Seahawks uniform.

I don't know yet but let me ask Adrian Peterson.

Yeah, I don't like this idea at all. Trent Richardson goes down way too easily on contact. That's not an instinct that can necessarily be taught. He's what Turbin would be if you gave Turbin 15 carries a game.

And unlike Turbin, he is not an asset in the locker room . . . or as a blocker.

Indeed sorry if that wasn't clear would be awesome to see MG3 and Russ together, but yeah can't think of another Wisconsin player who will be in the draft this year the hawks would have actual interest in.

Id rather roll with Turbin than Richardson. Turbin has burst and speed to his game that Trent doesn't have. More decisive as well.

Melvin Gordon is something of my draft crush this year, but he has no functional power. What Lynch brings is that wear down factor and Gordon does not even come close to that. He'll have big plays but you won't ever see him bring the intensity we're used to seeing. In my opinion, Seattle will change into a more finesse offense if we get Gordon.

To keep a strength "a strength" you have to constantly keep draft at those positions. If Maxwell leaves after this year, that will mark three of their top four CB's gone over the past two seasons (Browner, Thurmond, Maxwell). To keep the strength a strength, they need to keep drafting well at CB. That's why I like CB Jalen Collins from LSU. Good size at 6'2 195 lbs. I also like Florida State CB P.J. Williams (6'0 196 lbs) As cliche' as it sounds, I think the RB position is almost obsolete in the NFL. I think I can get the RB out of Indiana, the one out of Boise State, or Mike Davis out of South Carolina in the 2nd round.
