Not yet isn't lane the other gunner, with the namsty break?
Ya...Lane was the other gunner. Lockette became the gunner when Lane got hurt. Doesn't sound like Lane will be ready before the season starts though.
I think this kid will shine, and he's helping the team with Lane's absence as a gunner, as well WR with Richardson getting a new knee AND pr/kr thats a lot on his plate but, we shall see! Season needs to start as of after the sb ..
That totals 4 picks including the one we swapped in the 3rd.Seahawk Sailor":2rm8ni0q said:Hawkfiend":2rm8ni0q said:hawknation2015":2rm8ni0q said:Four picks for a return man . . . interesting.
He's a WR, KR and gunner.
It was only three picks. We swapped thirds and gave them three low picks. And from what I've seen, this guy has a ton of upside as a receiver, as well as being the versatile WR/KR/Gunner we needed badly all last year.
This is going to be a little vague so bare with me but I think they have the same spacial awareness in different bodies. The way Lockett moves on the field reminds me alot of Tate. The patience, the ability to navigate traffic and the shiftiness look very similar to me.Spin Doctor":r1ww2d7n said:I don't get why people are comparing him to Tate. The only thing they have in common is that they were both around the same size, and both were good return men.
Lockett is way more polished as a route runner than Golden Tate coming out of college. Tate was a very sloppy route runner in comparison to Lockett. Tate also was much better at hi pointing the ball than Lockett. Tate was a guy who played like he was a bigger receiver, I don't see Lockett making those tough jump ball catches in the NFL like Tate did. Tate also was much better after the catch in college, and in the NFL.
Simply put, Tate was much more physical than Lockett ever was or will be. He was better at going up for jump balls, and he was also more aggressive when it came to getting YAC. Lockett relies on textbook route running, and very quick transitions to get the ball.
I like Lockett as a slot receiver, and return man -- but I just don't think he is what the Seahawks need at wide receiver right now. We need more red-zone threats, and bigger wideouts that can help Wilson out when he gets into trouble. I just don't see Lockett as being that guy.

We got the red zone threat we needed in the first round......
I understand the appeal in drafting a player like Lockett, he potentially has the ability to fulfil multiple roles on this team. He has the potential to be a gunner, return man, and perhaps decent wide receiver. I just wish that they would've gone a different route for a receiver. He doesn't seem like a guy who will always be a threat on the outside, THAT is what we really need right now. None of our receivers a good outside receivers right now, the only guy who is truly a threat there is Graham, and he's a tight end. Baldwin CAN play on the outside, but he's more suited for being a slot receiver.austinslater25":13vo8le9 said:Shocked people are down on Lockett. He is going to be Wilson's running mate. Bank on it.

I think Lockett might be a good supporting player, but I don't think he'll be a perennial threat on the outside, nor do I think he'll be a guy that particularly scare's defensive backs lined up across from him. He seems more like a jack of all trades, master of none type of guy.

The thing is, we already HAVE players with those skillsets. I think Baldwin has the potential to be one of the scariest slot receivers in the league. We do not, however have anybody besides Graham that really opens things up for our offense. I think Lockett will be a good role player, but I don't think he'll ever be that receiving threat that we need so desperately right now.chris98251":l3l5um2b said:Spin Doctor":l3l5um2b said:I understand the appeal in drafting a player like Lockett, he potentially has the ability to fulfil multiple roles on this team.
