- Seattle Sports hosts Dave Wyman, Bob Stelton &Brock Huard gave their instant reaction to the Seahawks picking CB Devon Witherspoon. What has them so excited about this pick? What can he bring to this Seahawks defense? Watch a snippet of their reaction here or head to SeattleSports.com to get the full breakdown on all the Seahawks picks so far.
Are there any questions left after watching Witherspoon having his coming out party against the NY GIants?
I wanted Carter but when I heard the pick I said "I am not even mad". I had been telling people spoon was the best DB in the draft.
Sorry but Shaquill Griffin was not a good CB! Just my opinion!
Hope theirs monsters available in 2 nd
So glad we skipped on carter…not worth the headache.
I can hear Spoonman by Soudgarden playing in the stadium now! 🙌🏽💙💚
Yoooo this hard! Someone make the edit!
“Save meeeee” 😂🎉
Well every single year you can NEVER predict who the Seahawks are going to pick NEVER EVER, as long as he turns into a Star and quickly then its a good pick and he will start Week 1 without question barring injury, was it the position we all though they should pick No not really but all that matters is he is starting week 1 and playing at a super high level if he does that and continues it for years then we will look back and say Huh that was a good pick.
Jalen Carter should've been the pick
100% Zero pass rush and even worse run defense
Don't like it. They were gashed all last year against the run, CB and WR will not help that. I wanted front 7 in RD 1, big butts in the middle, edge, and LB. Mike Jackson played well last year. Goodwin played well last year.
I was wanting Carter but said I would be happy with Witherspoon. Good job, J/p
He seems like ET3 to me
Great coverage and Brock’s analysis was fantastic. Great show with wymann bringing a defensive perspective
What bothers me most is for years, basically the vast majority of the last two decades, Seattle has drafted need first rather than the best player available. They have been harshly treated in the draft ratings for doing so. This year they drafted the best players available rather than reaching for need and they get roundly criticized for doing what they were criticized for NOT doing in previous seasons. Additionally, they now have a legitimate triple-threat wideout group and a great trio of tight ends, plus a premier running back, all young except Lockett and one of the tight ends. They have a trio of young Corners at the elite status and three safeties that can kill it. I don't call this the Legion of Boom 2.0, I call it the Legion of SmashMouth. Their linebacking group is one left-side depth guy from being completed. And I keep hearing "Draft a QB". They extended their starter, they resigned his backup. They don't need an early-round QB. If they draft a QB earlier than round 3 or 4 I will be calling that a horrid pick. Their second round should be Dt/Edge, center, DT/Edge. Tight end for the 4th round. Guard early on day 3 as well.
We still got plenty of picks to get the front 7 right.
Doesn’t matter how many picks you have when there isn’t the talent to be had
@@particleinthewave8378true but i think If anyone could find late round talent, it would be Pete and John.
Yea, Schneider will find some benchwarmers to pair with the benchwarmers we already have.
Why do I see them trading a few picks to fill in those holes on the Dline or LB. It could very well happen. So those picks can still be very valuable If the talent ain't there on the bord
Shoutout to Jeremy Lane 🥲
Lol
Love it Go Hawks 🏈
I wonder if denver would trade charles cross kenneth walker devon witherspoon and the 37th pick tomrrow for russell 😂😂
Awful troll attempt, back to the drawing board you go
@@alfredohsauce I forgot Shelby fant and lock lmao
Devon Witherspoon’s is not gonna be on the outside ….he’s going to play in inside . He’s going to cover slot receivers ….that kill us over the middle add him with Jamal Adams. There’s nothing a slot receiver, hates more than getting hit hard while trying to catch the football. Over the middle…. Sort of like the intimidating factor the LOB had over the league.
julian Love will being playing a ton of Nickle. Witherspoon for sure is going to be outside.
I hope so cuz we have zero linebackers at the moment that can cover
Awesome analysis Brock!
Grateful they didn't take Jalen Carter cause he will be a bust. despite his insane talent, he has no desire, no work ethic, no maturity, and no discipline to put in the work to be the best he can be. He will be a top 5 all time draft bust.
I think the Eagles was by far the best place for Carter to go and maybe the only spot he has at actually succeeding. Tons of former teammates to keep him in check, and Philly has such a stacked roster they can afford to take a chance
Pete said that Devon’s physically and mentality compares to Troy Polamalu who played with Pete at USC
I love this pick. Jalen and Tyree are not a guarantee at all for a variety of reasons. Seahawks picked the best player on their board.
I am excited about this 1st round. It's so much better than what prime understand right now. I can't believe how many people are in there emotions!!!! If Pete has drafted HOF cb in the 5rh round and a stud like Tariq in the 5th round. For him to get Witherspoon with #5 just speaks to what Pete sees in him. And Pete knows best. This pick is absolutely fantastic!!!! And itll help our DLine more than people understand. Our secondary is lockdown!!!!
Learn the difference between There and Their. Then your opinion may be more credible
it's not pete's show this year. that's been made clear. this was a john pick. and yeah, grammar is your friend.
@@TDC5 think John was bummed we couldn't trade back a few tho and still get him, at least he must of been trying to get a great deal
What a joke
These to pics feel super safe... They aren't gambling. They aren't shooting for the stars.
Just safe. A number 3 receiver on a running team won't make a huge difference.
A man corner/saftey feels a little strange being that we run mostly zone and the DB room is too full.
This doesn't address the most effective position for being a running team or beating running teams in the NFC west.
Last year Pete Carroll said we couldn't match up vs the niners... How do these pics help us compete with them.
If you want to compete now, then take D-lineman.
If you want to build for the future, then take a QB.
These pics don't do either.
They are safe pics that barely improve this team.
If you want to win Superbowls you have to gamble.
These pics show me that the Hawks are content on being a fringe playoff team... Thats it.
Teams had a full year to witness Gino's strength and weaknesses. This means that tesms will know how to attack him better.
In my opinion the Hawks have a few rounds to redeem themselves... If they dont pull out a maricle in this draft... They'll be an 8 win team.
I wish fans would stop stroking John and Pete's ego and see this for what it is, its 2 men who have almost a decade of bad drafts, won't sign star free agents, refuse to use the cap to their advantage and refuse to adapt from old ways of success, even though thier ways of doing things hasn't worked for years.
If I had one job and i failed at it for 1 year there'd be grace and patients, 2 years maybe some more patients... But, by the 3rd year I'd be fired! So why do we allow a coach and a GM to hang on for 8 years w/o accomplishing the one job they have... To win Super bowls.
I think Witherspoon and JSN will be good, maybe even great players, but they're not able to save this sinking ship.
Their positions won't allow them to change much.
The Seahawks get an F from me for this round.
What do you think the chances of him having more catches than DK? Perhaps more TDs too? definitely has chain moving ability and after the catch ability. They will try to move him and motion him a ton in the kupp role
You don't waste picks on positions with below average talent.
They've already improved the D line in free agency, and that was their biggest weakness last year.
In a relatively weak year for linemen, you make those picks in the later rounds, take the higher talent with your high picks.
The draft is not a guaranteed improvement if you have stars in your eyes, you have to be realistic.
They needed depth at WR and CB/S, so those were good solid picks, talented guys
Well said, I have little bit of hope tho that gonna kill it today with some great picks, an ace up the sleeve haha if not tho, then I'm bummed
Wow Great Job by Pete and John!. Totally floored by these two picks great guys full of talent, very exciting for them to be Seahawks.
Ugh! What a punch in the gut!
How you feeling now bro
Whether this is a good pick or not, I love Brock's optimism!
Very surprised but okay…..I love the 20th pick.
I love the player but am a little concerned that at 180lbs he might not hold up playing as reckless as he does.
Bam Bam jr.
You can’t be talking about Witherspoon!?! He’s 5’11 and 180
Yea, that really works in the modern NFL. Referees love hard-hitting defensive backs.
This is a massive addition for Seattle. Jaire Alexander vibes. This guy locking down one side with Woolen on the other side is just nasty. LOB 2.0. Love it. JSN pick even better. John, I love ya.
Yea, massive additions to the two position groups on the team that didn't need it. Makes about as much sense as renovating your kitchen and bathroom when you have a huge hole in your roof. Genius.
@@profd65JSN is absolutely a need. Look at the Rams and how effective their Slot is (Kupp). We basically run the same offense. JSN was an absolute steal and you‘ll soon see it.
@@MG-dl4ts He'd better catch a bunch of TD's because the Seahawks defense is giving up a 150 yards per game on the ground this year.
@@profd65 I disagree. Dre Mont Jones is the answer
Not without a pass rush. You have to remember what made the LOB so good was Bennett amd Avril's pass rush
In building the Legion of Boom the focus seemed to be on the back seven...in particular the secondary. This seems to be in play now. If this young man can live up to half the hype, we now have two lockdown corners along with two above average safeties. Secondary? Set. Now to look at other needs...best player available. Why settle for OK play when you can have two lockdown groups...let's say secondary and O line??? Just sayin'...and hoping
I want to believe in this pick so we will see they often zig and it doesn't always work (last time at 5) what about our weakness down the middle not solved YET
Here's a guy that will spend a lot of time hanging out with Jamal Adams--on injured reserve. Seattle will continue to give up 150 rushing yards per game, and the Eagles will win the Super Bowl.
All these flavors and you choose to be salty
Love this pick!!! Legion of BOOM 2…
Nice, good work guys.
0:06 the collective Oh My
Cant wait for the new owner to come in
I like violent safety's
what about a violent Corner?
I like it
Its fine to zig when everyone else zags when you are picking at the end of the round, not with the 5th pick.
Com'on - Kancey is 3 picks away!
Jalen carter=jail :)
DL, OL or WR at 20
I’m not sure if Brock is being nice, but I feel like he’s never watched football before in his life after that take.
Injury prone like adams ?
DL at #20 but who?
An islander.
@@rabbidjeremy9193 Com'on - Kancey is 3 picks away!
FN TRASH PICK
This was a smart pick
JSN PURE TRASH PICK
Love it.
CARTER IS WAS AND THE ONLY PICK
Clearly he wasn’t …
One of the worst run defenses in the league 3 years in a row and we blow a #5 pick on a small slow corner and a 20th on a slot receiver? Are you F’ng kidding me?
Best corner in the draft instead of a guy whos literally killed 2 people? Yeah i would gladly take witherspoon any day of the week
@@_______________.__ lmao he literally didn’t kill anyone LITERALLY….
@@nickconlan9172 it won't take him long to do it though. Its hard to change people. if you have lived long enough you shd probably understand that.
Casual
This is why you are eating Cheetos on the couch instead of being in the war room drafting chads
Schneider spends the #5 pick in the draft on a short, slow cornerback whose hard hits are going to result in a ton of penalties and fines. Then he blows the 20th pick on a WR when we already have two Pro Bowl receivers. What has he done for our front 7 though? He signs several mediocre free agents and brought back Bobby Wagner (who turns 33 in June). I'm really tired of Schneider, and his contrarian "smartest guy in the room" bullshit.
I get needing help in the front 7 but taking one of the best 2 corners in the draft and the best wr in the draft isn't bad. Yeah Hawks got dk and Lockett but after that the wr room is terrible and Lockett over 30 now isn't he? A few more years he's gone
Think them not wanting Carter was obvious, then probably expected to be able to trade back and still get witherspoon, when that failed it forced John's hand. Then kancy goes one pick ahead of our 20th! Forcing the issue again
I mean we just let THE EAGLES GET THE BEST PLAYER IN THE DRAFT at a position we DESPERATELY needed but ok. Gonna haunt us in the NFC championship game this year but Witherspoon is elite too. LOB 2.0… more excited about Jaxon.., that was a great pick. We MUST get a D linemen and center next. Breese would be smart. I’m excited about JSN!!!!! Witherspoon felt kinda meh… like la-croix or un marinated flank steak with no A1… it’s nourishing but it could’ve been a marinated ribeye. Theres no POP SAUCE.
Jalen Carter will end up being a bust. it was good to stay away from him
@@ericp6735 idk man, the tape is pretty undeniable. Haven’t seen anyone near that level in a long long time
@@SexiSeahawk69 no doubt his talent is probably the best in the draft. His talent is not in question. He will be a bust because of all the major red flags. His pro day having 2 months to prepare, he showed up 9 pounds over weight and completely out of shape. Couldn't even finish his drills cause of being out of shape. What does that tell us? He lacks maturity, lacks work ethic, lacks desire to be great, lacks motivation and discipline to put in the work. I don't care how talented a player is, if they don't have a hunger to put in the work to be great, they wont be great. Those type of people end up being all time biggest busts because they were so talented. If Jalen wont put in the work to be in shape before he makes millions of dollars, why would anyone think he would put in the work after he cashes in for millions of dollars. Huge money to someone who lacks maturity and discipline only exposes their immaturity. He will be a bust and be in the conversation along with Jamarcus Russell as the biggest bust ever. Mark my words.
