Figured I'd start my own thread for this, but Rob is now officially on the Ogletree bandwagon, and knowing him he'll have his heels dug in right up until April assuming Ogletree doesn't taper off or shoot anyone. And I've no problems with that.
But Seattle doesn't play three linebackers on nearly every down. They've played a lot of base defense lately, yeah, and Bradley's taking heat for it. This is a D that plays more nickel (our Bandit if the 5th guy is a safety) than almost any other team, and bringing Walter Thurmond back is only going to make it more prevalent. Any starting 3rd linebacker will see the field on limited snaps.
So, do we expect Pete to (once again) spend a 1st-rounder on a defensive stud who only sees the field part of the time? I know Scotte seems harsh on Wright, but it seems to me that our first-rounder would be better spent.
