He posted yesterday that they were coming and again today that they are coming. I'm assuming it will be soon. Let's post them here and see how it goes.

My brain doesn't seem to sync up with Pete's, I never get his clues ...

They are most definitely some pretty out there references, but after the fact they do seem to line up. I enjoy playing along though. Kills the day leading up to the draft.....beats actually working at work too

Could be he linked to Chris Blue (the singer in the clip on The Voice) because he is from Knoxville Tennessee, home of the University of Tennessee. Could that mean Derek Barnett or Alvin Kamara are in play? Obviously they'd probably have to trade up for Barnett...

Also just because it's his first tweet doesn't mean he's referring to the 1st round does it? Has he said anywhere that he's going in order of 1st to 7th round?

I believe in the past, he's just said they are draft clues as to players we plan to draft. I don't recall them being in a preset order in previous years (although I could be wrong).

Of course, this clue, like all his clues have so many meanings, you really can just about go with dozens of players for any given clue.

I think “Up to the Mountain” refers to WVU Mountaineers where Rasul Douglas is a tall CB that is likely high on Seattle's list. I could see them taking him with one of the 3rd round compensatory picks or a 4th if we trade back and pick one up.

Mountains can be a reference to Colorado, where one of my favorite prospects in CB Ahkello Witherspoon played.

Chris Blue equals cornerback?

I'm out on these. Singing is aweful.

I'm pretty certain that listening to the video isn't required to play along......at least it hasn't in the past years.

I think in the past it's been 1 clue = 1 player, but maybe that's just an assumption and not the case at all.

My guesses so far have been:

1.) Chris Blue = Chris Wormley, Michigan
2.) Up The Mountain = Budda Baker, reference being Mount Baker (Have thought Takk McKinnley could work too, but considered it after submitting. Would stick with Baker though).
3.) Was more difficult. Was stuck between Haason Reddick because of his school (Temple) or Adoree Jackson because of his first name. Went with Jackson for my guess.
