Pick 18: Grey Zabel

[Appyhawk]

Great pick! We're off to a good start by filling the single biggest hole impeding our offense. Now we can have some fun finding some guys who will provide excitement around the field. But it sure was hard watching all those picks ahead of us getting guys I hoped we had a shot at...

 

[SoulfishHawk]

YES!!!!!!! Fricken trenches!!!!

 

[Jac]

Love it. They didn't try to get cute or clever with it (those days appear over) and just picked the guy they needed.

Nobody is gonna bitch about that pick.

May I introduce you to Seahawks twitter?

 

[HawkRiderFan]

The two other guys I would have been ok with despite this being a bigger need was Golden or Campbell

 

[DeSeahawk]

JS will be glad to know I'm happy with this pick.

This. I'm stoked.

Well the four realistic choice of players I liked more were all off the board when we picked. I can’t complain for drafting an IOL

For the record: ARM LENGTH and HAND SIZE are overrated.

Position of Need: A+
Quality of Player: A+
Value for Pick 18: B

No real complaints other than we might have been able to trade down a bit if that was our target.

ECSTATIC! Was so worried we were going to get sniped!

LFG!

Come on kid, this is dot net, some will. And I'm here for it

Predicted to us and they took him. JS finally just took a really good IOL early. Guy was a MONSTER at the senior bowl inside. This team desperately needed to build up the OL, happy with this. He could have easily gone and started at a power 5 conference but wanted to stay with his team.

They said on NFL Network that they were trying to trade down. Apparently there were no takers.

His stock was all over the place lately; it was hard to get a real handle on where he could go. If they really wanted him, they were right to not risk losing him on the trade down. I personally was getting the impression he was slipping, but other places were saying he could go as high as the fringes of the top 10. Who knows? Just takes one team.

I it! Seahawks got a steal!

 

[Rat]

Does he have any nicknames? His name is unique enough to not need one, but also unique enough where people have probably made many for him. As a recovering alcoholic, it probably isn't good that "Grey Goose" immediately came to mind lol.

After Darnold had to contend with Garrett F'n Bradbury and a porous IOL last season with the Vikes, this pick will be a godsend to him here in Seattle.

You've obviously never had the pleasure(?) of a reach-around. lol
