Never thought I would see the day people were crying about an actual first round Oline pick.

If John and Pete think this player will help the OLine then who are we to grumble? Congrats to those who selected Ifedi in their mocks. Many mocks had Ifedi as Seattle's 1st Rd. Pick.
Some people will complain about everything, or every pick and every player. Perhaps this pick may be seen as a reach in terms of value but you have to consider the player's value to the team. The team has a plan and the defensive picks will come.
My thinking is if he works out the team may well be happy to have the 5th year with this pick. I suspect the team had hoped to move down further before drafting with their 1st pick and or this pick. I still wonder if they'd taken Butler if he hadn't been picked 1 pick ahead of the Hawks pick. I'd really not be surprised to see another trade down, either from the 2nd or the 3rd. The team however now has 5 picks in the first 3 rounds, Great job Front office!!! Tomorrow will be interesting as the team is well placed to move down from the 2nd and especially now from the 3rd.

Everyone can have an opinion, but I'll take Pete and John's track record over most all of ours as their hit rate is much higher. That doesn't mean they are always right or every year is going to be like the 2012 draft, but their hits outweigh their misses.
Just because someone wins their fantasy football league doesn't mean they are ready to be a NFL GM.

Holy hell people...of course John and Pete know more than me. What dumb comments "I will take John and Pete over you..." Any sane person would.
I apologize I don't share the enthusiasm for the pick. I liked a lot of other prospects in his place. Doesn't make me right or wrong. It just means I have an opinion. Can we have those any more or is disagreeing no longer tolerated?

I've noticed a shift in the way the draft gets followed. It seems you're no longer allowed to have your own guys that you want the team to draft because you've watched them play and like them as players and want them as Seahawks. That's what the draft used to be about.
Now, it's all about accurately predicting who the Seahawks will draft/be interested in.
It's sorta new school vs. old school, but either side is going to end up pissed off and it's pretty funny to watch. Group a will poo poo picks when the team doesn't select their guys, while Group b will get upset and poo poo picks when the Seahawks don't follow all these cooky, zany formulas to draft a guy, thus making them look bad because they spent so much time trying to accurately predict the players the team likes.
Ahhh, the draft. Ya gotta love the emotion that it inspires. Sort of. Sometimes.

Ok..."your opinion has no facts behind it..."
I'm sorry...are we debating economic systems/theory or player preference in an NFL Draft? I will just refrain from further opinions if a) it doesn't match group think or b) isn't accompanied with a thesis of supporting documentation.
FTR - I absolutely loved Day 2 of our draft. Being since I loved it, I'm assuming I don't have to provide a thesis because it's agreeable with you.
