Good analysis. You Missed Jack Westover, though. He was not just a NDFA, he was given a contract, with a guarantee. He is 6'3", 247, good speed, good blocker and simply rarely drops a pass. He is going to make someone's team this year.
I really like that pick-up. I think Grubb will be creative with him.
Absolutely. I feel like he was one if the best TEs in the nation and it blew my mind he was slept on. With Grubb as our OC I'm pretty confident the team he makes will be Seattle. We'll carry 4 TEs this year and we'll use them all. But Westover I think will get a lot of love in the pass game with Fant. I'm really excited for the season to start and see one of my favorite DaWgs in a Hawks jersey. It's a beautiful thing.
Westover is a steal
@@toypianos469 Agreed
Can't believe they missed him. He will make the team
A-. Murphy and Haynes will both be pro bowl players for a long time. I also think their most glaring need was defensive tackle. So, they got Murphy. They can coach up and find interior O lineman. Seattle BADLY needed defensive line help. One of the worst defenses and rush defenses in recent years
That's what you think going to happen again keyword think
I agree, I think we had ZERO d line before last year and they’ve did a good job making that priority one with a cast of versatile guys
Interior Oline was our biggest need. Oluwatimi has very little experience, Bradford REALLY stunk in pass protection, and Tomlinson is washed. But I still agree that they nailed it by drafting DT 1st, as that was less deep of a class. The amount of tackles that will switch to guard that got drafted early in the draft, allowed Haynes to fall to Seattle.
Steve Hutchinson could tell you how impactful a G can be. That O-line in Seattle took a HUGE dip when he left for Minnesota. He was the QB of that offensive line. They were lost without him.
Right. Then they spent the $ on Nate Burleson instead 😭
the list of UDFAs were pretty dang good. pretty sad you thought taulia tagovailoa was the headliner. He is only an invite, not even signed.
Thank you. I've seen way too many people saying unironically that Taulia is going to challenge for the starting spot over Geno... When he wasn't even signed. Their reasoning is that he "has the most passing yards in Big Ten history". He would've been drafted if that was important at all
@@zachooo45he was throwing short to his receivers yesterday on the field😢
@@edubb2491 Yeah, I had heard both of the QBs brought in had an awful first day. Apparently they did a little better the next day but neither will be signed, even to the practice squad, I bet
There are several key UDFAs whose names I feel the entire league will know within a couple of years. For me I'd say remember the name Jack Westover. Also I dont know how to spell his name atm but the kid from Houston. The DE has incredible tape and it surprises me he wasn't actually drafted. And the couple QBs they brought in look promising with time to develop for further down the road. Not that I think the QBs will be big time per say. But they have nice skills that can be honed and developed. Overall I'm very happy with this years draft and the UDFAs we brought in. Seattle is looking to be competitive this year and hopefully win in Coach Macdonald's inaugural season as HC.
I think our defense goes from the worst run defense 25th in pass. This year, we soar to somewhere between 15 and 20, which gives us a fighting chance. I believe Ryan Grubb will be good judging by his 2 seasons with the Husky's as offensive coordinator. The NFL won't have a good feel for Grubb for at least the first half of the season, if not the whole season. Grubb earned his stripes as an O Line coach. I think we are going to see K9 have a very good season baring injury. Geno now has some protection. Some folks are worried about our center. Olu Oluatimi is a stud and will do well. He was the 2022 Outland trophy winner during his one season with Michigan. Not only that, he was named a captain in his first and only season with the Wolverines. That means he earned that between spring ball and the start of the season. One of his best qualities is that he is of Nigerian decent. I played top-level rugby, and all the big men from Samoa, Fiji Nigeria, where Olu is from are as tough as nails. I had plenty of experience trying to dodge these players, so I didn't get destroyed. Not only is he big and strong, but he attained a Masters degree in social services. Big strong punishing and very smart. The one game he started last year, he looked right at home. I am excited to see him in the starting lineup.
Last time the Seahawks had a top 10 pick they chose a LT then in the 4th round they picked a RT. Both play the same and are on the same trajectory.
3rd*
well, not quite, There was Witherspoon last year, but he is a beast. I did like the tackle pick.
@2jyeti909 yeah I just guessed
@@tristandecoster478 well you missed the point of my comment
@@tristandecoster478 The last time the Seahawks had their OWN top 10 pick
Since the offseason started the time of discussion is noticeably shorter on the hawks. Interesting considering the topic of head coach etc. one has to wonder if it’s actually good uniform envy over those archaic Bungles ones.
Our uni's look like dated Oregon Ducks kaka jerseys from the 2010s. Bengals have only had new uniforms for 3 seasons so how are they archaic compared to our lame ass neon green hype beast set? Switch back to the silver helmet with normal blue and green and let's get back to the Dynasty we had in the 10's
Go Hawks!
We got the next Aaron Donald! Murphy will DOMINATE!!! He’s gonna be here as the new foundation for a new era!!
Nah goofy we got the next Byron Murphy
I like the draft except for the 4th round picks. Only time will tell. My friends and I were in disbelief when Seattle was able to get Murphy after the first 14 picks were offensive players. I hope they cut or restructure Jones. His production doesn't match his paycheck.
I feel it worked out getting Murphy in the 1st instead of getting an OL. I don’t think they good of drafted a good DT in the 3rd
Lol always last nationally. Should have had me on for this as the Hawk expert at PFF :)
He's never heard of Nelson Caesar?
Most glaring need at IOL? They couldn't stop the run. They were like 29th or 31st in the league against the run.
I don't know, we were second to last in run defense, so I think stopping the run is more of a glaring need...
Ok, new head coach. Best in theb NFL . Yall will eat your words.
Anyone who thinks O line isn't important doesn't know football and clearly never watched Steve Hutchinson or Walter Jones play.
Without them Alexander isn't putting up those yards & TDs and nobody would even remember the Hasslebecks...and I love me some Defense 🤷🏻♂️
I don't expect them to know every player that played college ball last year, but if you don't know who George Holani or Jack Westover is, you didn't watch many games.
Pete was lost, never built an offensive line. Look back and Joel bitonio was there and they passed on him. I’ve been pissed since.
We also had the chance to get creed Humphrey but got Dee eskridge
I was pissed we traded back for McDowell when we should have drafted Ryan Ramczych or however it's spelled
Seahawks just shot up to having a top 10 offense & defense for 2025.... book it
The best fan base in the nation
If they don't have injuries, Murphy and Haynes are both going to be All pros... Seattle ran away with steals of the draft. I can't believe those two players fell them to them.
The Seahawks don’t actually need to draft any Offensive Linemen, (ever). If they want, they can pick up veterans to employ as their Offensive Linemen, via Free Agency, or Trade deals.
😑
@@CinciHawks Just sayin’.
Hope you cheer up, soon.
GO SEAHAWKS ! 💪💙🤩💚👍
we tried that already last year and ended up with a 40yr old guard…
@@eagletsnupper7876Veteran offensive linemen typically outperform rookies and younger linemen. Duane Brown is an example of the Seahawks successfully solving a problem with their offensive line (blind side sacks) by employing a Veteran,to play the position of Left Tackle.
You cannot take any football commentary seriously from a guy who wears a soccer jersey.
Sleeping on Seattle, yall are not ready. All around are defense is like no other, get ready...
honestly i can see us trading away woolen. he is good but doesn’t like to tackle and i know mike doesn’t like that… we will see
Not a chance
Not happening read into what Mike thinks of Woolen lol
All you talking know nothing....
It's pretty clear all of the good analysts you guys hire get poached by better companies. Yikes
Lol. 49ers fan. I have legit (fandislike) hate for the Hawks. But ya'll have no idea how these (or anyones) picks will turn out. Get a job with the Hawks. Then you can have a say. Until then, the big issue is how the coach works out. It's likely to be a little rough until Schneider and Coach get a few reps.
Fair. Nobody truly does though even the ones that get paid. And it’s all a gamble when health is such a big catalyst (you probably know that best with the injuries your team goes through) . But we rather hear fans be optimistic about it versus the pessimistic guy “oh i woulda took blah blah instead”
Best of luck to your team. I curious how the rivalry is going to be under the Macdonald era.
Wierdo.
Got one thing right..lol niner fan😂
Very fair point. Well said
This class doesn't inspire me much. Typical Schneider reaches up and down the board. I still think the team as is right now has 5-10 pro bowlers now that Pete and his geriatric methods are gone.
Go Hawks!
Only one reach all draft the rest of the picks were right at the consensus of big boards. The one reach I'm talking about is the linebacker of course.
@@jacobsvetich8735the round 6 ol was a reach as well
@@cl-sk3wq ain't no such thing as a round 6 reach.
90% of the value was our first two picks, and we got excellent value based on EVERY big board.
And since we just signed a "genius" new defensive minded NFL head coach, maybe give him the benefit of the doubt going 20 picks 'early' on Tyrice Knight.
We also traded DOWN in the 4th, and got the Auburn corner.
This draft class wasn't flashy. It's trenches, athletes, and grit. Just what the hawks needed. Punch you in the face energy.
@@cl-sk3wqthe value of draft picks goes down exponentially as you approach the later picks. something like the first overall pick is worth five second round picks according to the system the packers popularized for the rest of the league. a round 6 pick can't be a reach because at that point you're already taking pot-shots
