Miami Trade DB Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Steelers

[TreeRon]

I've seen reports that they'll want two picks, prob a 2nd and a 4th.

I"m guessing, even if we give up a first for him.. there will be a lot of happy posters on Seahawks.net..

Imo if we use him as our FS of the future then yes, I'd be ecstatic. If not, then no -- I wouldn't be comfortable giving a 1st round pick for a NCB

I"m pretty sure if Hawks get him, it's for this year, the next and into the future. We wouldn't be getting him to fill a role cheaply like we got Clowney.

I meant to say if we exclusively used him as a FS instead of in the slot when we have more than enough depth at that position.

Not sure where those numbers come from but Earl ran 4.43 at the combine not 4.49.

That’s not a sanctioned site. Looks like they averaged his combine and pro day numbers maybe? Here’s a simulcam with earl and Minkah overlayed:

Earl dropped down to 196 pounds to run a 4.37 at the Texas pro day (obviously unofficial). He never played that light and was always more quick than he was fast. I still remember Sherman running by Earl to get the tackle on a WR running down the field in 2015. Long strider over distance vs short strider in a short area. Two different things.

Earl >>>> Tedric. That said, we just need an adequate FS to shore things up. Glad we didn't pay Earl, the injury history and age recommended against it. But we need something better than Tsquared and I'm guessing Pete sees it.

 

[vin.couve12]

FS tomorrow will be Lano Hill who ran an official 4.47 at 216 pounds. Officially...

Should be fine. As long as he doesn't make a catastrophic mis-timed jump on a deep ball.

I'd be petrified at the prospect of Ben ripping apart our secondary if I thought the Cincy game was representative of what we can expect this year.

Flowers had better pull his head out, and we'd better put a nickel corner out there instead of hoping Kendricks can cover wideouts.

Sounds like you didn't listen to the Pete press conference.

ESPN has been reporting that they want a 1st.

 

[bestfightstory]

I’ve seen 12 different teams linked to this guy. Rather surprised somebody like the Chiefs or Cowboys didn’t seal the deal by now.

Cowboys want to low ball teams in trades, not get into a bidding war. They also don’t value the safety position as much as other teams, just ask their fanbase. The trade they made with the Raiders last year was the exception not the rule.

A 1st? Nah thanks

 

[Bobblehead]

Well that does it. we'll have to throw in another pick, else he goes to WSH or Pitt.

We're one of two teams in it still


Edit: I may have read that incorrectly

 

[hawkfan68]

Interesting. I'm surprised to see the Chiefs in the mix. Didn't they sign Mathieu to a big contract in the offseason? I think they are bluffing to raise the price. If the Cowboys have dropped out, then the only serious trade partner remaining is Seattle (just my opinion). That would be awesome if the Seahawks can get Fitzpatrick. He's versatile enough to play multiple positions in the secondary but a McDougald/Ftizpatrick duo at safety is top 5 material.

Maybe Cowboys decided to go for Jalen Ramsey instead.

 

[Osprey]

Ramsey doubled the supply, should soften the sell price.
