I have never been more convinced that OC is not the problem. It is bigger than that.

It's not bigger than that. It's exactly that.

No, it is bigger than that. The defense was getting manhandled right from the start. Nothing to do with Bevell. The special teams coverage was awful. Nothing to do with Bevell.

Usually what happens when a top offense plays a beaten up defense....

Doesn't really matter where we pick if we continue to draft as poorly as we have the last 5 years.

Str8OuttaSkittles · Dec 17, 2017

no point in drafting anything if we have dumb and dumber as co-ords

RussB · Dec 17, 2017

offensive line or runningback

The Seahawks generally trade out of the bottom of the 1st round because there aren't any 1st rd players left.

In any given draft there are only about 15-20 1st rd graded players. So value wise it makes sense to trade down, and pick up an extra 4th. To still get a player of the same value, and get an extra pick out of it. It is a good strategy.

The Seahawks drafted Thomas & Okung without trading down in the 1st, if the talent is there they will pick. If it isn't they will trade down.

Its not about players at this point though. It is all about the coaching staff. Until that is fixed talking player acquisition is moot.

I agree but the fact that they’ve traded away their 2nd & 3rd round picks might make it more likely they trade back. That’s a long time to sit there and not pick.

Amazing, the OC is "exactly the problem" with every team in football. What a coincidence.

Ok, defend the fact that our OC was calling long-developing routes all damn day against a D-line that smokes our O-line every time they meet.

Use your words. We're waiting.

Bobblehead · Dec 17, 2017

I've always hated the quantity over quality the Hawks so seem to covet. All this trading down spots for players like Ifedi, McDowell just doesn't seem to work. Give me a stud over a dozen turds anyday.

Scorpion05 · Dec 17, 2017

Saquon Barkley or Bryce Love imo

Exittium · Dec 17, 2017

This team is EASILY the same record as for example the Broncos, only we have a real QB who can carry us a few games. Meanwhile our coaching staff has more or less cemented the inability to adjust or advance. They’re done, and we need to rebuild the team AROUND WILSON

Yes awesome to have a good draft position when we depleted the draft picks by trades.

Only upside will be all the compensatory picks coming

KitsapGuy · Dec 17, 2017

Let's wait and see who we don't keep. Hopefully there will be some who most people thought we'd keep. I think there will be a few surprise cuts.

You're right. This special circumstance will make them more likely to trade back. They still won't commit to trading back fully until they know what is on the board first though.

Draft a tackle to play on the right side and / or take over for Duane Brown in a couple years. No comp picks so they will need to hit on all the picks they have left and UDFA.

original poster · Dec 18, 2017

I don't think the glaring hole position this team needs to address with the 1st pick is visible yet.

It'll come from someone who is cut or not resigned.

Or it's not, but it gives you a neat and tidy scapegoat.

Hopefully Fant can be that.

ray:

So much potential with Fant/Justin Senior competing at RT and Ifedi, Pocic, Roos, Odhiambo for LG/RG, but very uncertain.

Cyrus12 · Dec 18, 2017

We are trading down like we do every year. The 1st will be traded a for 2 lower round picks. Those 2 lower round picks will be traded for 3 even lower round picks.

getnasty · Dec 18, 2017

I hope we do trade down we need to get some pics back from fro Brown and Richardson trades.

original poster · Dec 18, 2017

As it stands, Seattle has the 18th overall pick.

Jerhawk · Dec 18, 2017

Give Wilson a big, fast #1 WR to throw it up to.

Don't know who is like this in this year's draft, but we need that (not Mcevoy.)
