Pick #81 - G Christian Haynes

[Fox0r]

Third round QBs are a waste. If you don't take one in the first, it's basically pointless until like round 5. The hit rate is beyond abysmal.

Clearly. 3rd Round QBs are a waste. Tell that to our future HOF 3rd round QB.

1 guy in how many years? I doubt he’s HOF, unless he turns things around.

That was 12 years ago and was still the last franchise QB found in the third round. Since Joe Montana 45 years ago, Russ is the only third-round QB to make an All-Pro team and the only one to make more than one Pro Bowl for the team that drafted them. More recently, the third round has been seeing guys like Malik Willis, Desmond Ridder, and Matt Corral.

Russ was the anomaly of anomalies.

You’re mistaken. Sam Howell was drafted in the 5th round.

So I'm watching the draft waiting for Seattle's pick at 81, and then pass out on the couch at about pick 78 till now.

Christian Haynes G Connecticut
OVR60
POS1 / 10
Pick Grade :Elite
An elite athlete for the guard position, Haynes has the nastiness to be a solid pull blocker in a gap scheme but really thrives in wide zone, where he posted an 89.2 run-blocking grade in 2023. Haynes is also solid as a pass blocker and should push for a starting gig from day one in Ryan Grubb’s offense.

Shocking! Are you suddenly ill?

How ya doing Ruminator. Been a while since we stopped the Chat.

 

[Sprfunk]

Wow! The value of this pick is crazy. No second round pick, and we actually get a second round talent! This draft is looking ridiculous.

If we weren't going Spencer Rattler as QBOTF there then O line is fine.

f they would have picked Rattler then they would have essentially spent their original two 3rd round picks on two different QBs!

 

[Pandion Haliaetus]

Can’t really ridicule a highly physical athletic OL with whole lot of nasty to his game that has 49 career starts.

Damien Lewis 2.0

 

[Scout]

Being patient and taking players that fall into your lap with great value like Haynes is fantastic. The Seahawks really improved the last two days.

The Damien Lewis that we don't have to pay $53 million.

So was his Subway commercials

Finally! Drafting some interior bad-asses on both sides of the ball early instead of trying to fill these positions with mid to late round projects. This is such an Anti-Pete draft!

 

[OLYhawks]

Absolutely loving this draft. No cute picks, straight to business picks.

We used ten draft picks in rounds 1-3 on interior linemen while Pete was here.

It's possible to praise the current regime without ripping on the last one.

Yeah, but most of that was in the first 3 or 4 drafts. It's been a long drought.

 

[Rat]

Yeah, but most of that was in the first 3 or 4 drafts. It's been a long drought.

We're missing a second rounder in this draft because Pete spent it on an interior lineman.

Oh wait, Williams has been good, so we're probably crediting Schneider for that trade.

Yeah, that's part of this draft. Before this draft this team hasn't spent much high draft capital on interior oline and dline in a long time. I believe that is a true statement.
