Kopy 489 Posted April 27, 2017 My best guess for thursday night, round 1. We either trade out of the first round, or we pick Uconn Safety, Obi Melifanwu. And convert him to Corner Back. Dark horse would be Washington Corner Back, Kevin King. I'd be perfectly fine with all 3 moves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lesjroza 70 Posted April 27, 2017 You need to take the best offensive lineman left on the board in the first. If that's how a team feels then what they really need is to trade up and get the one they want Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marshall 98 Posted April 28, 2017 Dunno. Just noticed that we traded back again. Edited to add: On the other hand, Seahawks' draft picks have never excited me as much as the post-draft UDFAs they tend to accrue. That seems to be where a lot of nuggets are found.

Marshall 98 Posted April 28, 2017 Bob Condotta @bcondotta 1h1 hour ago John Schneider says Seahawks did not lose anyone they wanted at 26 in moving down to 34. Schneider says "it's going to be fun'' to have six picks Friday. Here are Seattle's picks --- 34, 58, 90, 95, 102, 106, 111, 210, 226 and 249. 6 on Friday -- or so we think.

Kopy 489 Posted April 28, 2017 Gotta say. I am pretty happy with the trades. It's a deep draft, so lets take avantage of it. Now we got 2 seconds, 4 thirds, and a fourth. Still need Oline, and CB as pressing needs. Another DT also. After that, depth and upside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kopy 489 Posted April 28, 2017 Guys that I know seattle has shown interest in: S (convert to CB) Obi Melifanwu DT Malik McDowell QB Jsh Dobbs All still available watch these names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still need Oline, and CB as pressing needs. Another DT also. After that, depth and upside. I am betting that pick 34 is on a guard or a tackle. Its a reasonable class for DT so they may be able to fill that need with the other pick. or.... Strangely enough...... maybe both 2nd round picks are spent on the O line. I wouldnt be disappointed with that outcome either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can even see them trading that first second rounder for a second and another third. You swap seconds, and gain a third for someone some team really likes at #34.

I guess it depends how far you move down in the draft. They are in a prime spot to get an OT or a guard. Lamp (guard) is still available and he was considered to be a first round talent. I, for one, didnt think he'd still be on the board at this point in the draft. when you consider that the team needs help on the line, This is something they need to strongly consider.

Hawkfin 32 Posted April 28, 2017 I don't get the chance to come here much anymore, but just thought I would check in at least once. First, I LOVE what they did so far. Moved down only 8 spots and gained 3rd, EARLY 4th , and 7th I believe. Very nice. All the guy's I like are still on the board except TJ Watt and Peppers, but both not real needs. However, unless it's only 1-5 slots I will be ticked if we trade down again. I think we need to pick here! In fact, I would move up with our late 2nd rounder (maybe give one of our 3rds) to get back higher in the 2nd and grab one of these corners, safety's, DE's, UW guy's, unless they keep dropping which I doubt. Anyway, I'm thinking Cam Robinson here. I REALLY want a corner though, but we should still be able to land one with our other 2nd. Another reason I'd like to move up with that pick though. King is the other great choice here. He's got all the measurable's that seem perfect. Great combine. Coverage corner. I would be real happy with that pick too. REAL HAPPY. Worried about his tackle ability, but he makes so much sense here. OBI I also really like. But, I don't agree he can be converted to Corner. He's a strong safety all the way. If he could get on the field somehow, then that makes for a great pick too. If he can cover TE's for example? I don't see him as a corner at all though. Lamp might be a good pick here too, but I don't like any other Oline here other then Lamp and Robinson. I also love Budda Baker and Jones and there is 2 or 3 other good corners too. Love to see Jones in the 3rd, but I doubt he lasts that long. Again, I might move up with the late 2nd if some of these guy's are gone. My dream: Pick Robinson here, and somehow make sure you get King too. But if not, then get one of the other D-backs. King & Obi or Budda would be nice combo too. (But, Luke Jackel had better turn out) Should be a fun day! UPDATE: Actually, I think I have Lamp ahead of Robinson now after watching a bit more tape. Robinson also had arrest, drug issues I believe and something looked off when he wasn't getting picked yesterday. Pretty heavy too. Lamp benched 34 good number and smart and perfect size. I liked Lamps tape the more I watched. Great pass pro. Needs to stay engaged just a bit longer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chasers Dawg 9 Posted April 29, 2017 I can't FOCKIN' believe this. No wonder Alexander and Lynch retired early. Would you work for someone that did his best to get you killed every freakin day. The worst OLine in the NFL 4 of the last 5 years (2nd worst the other year), and 1 of the top Def every year and they pass on 2 of the top OLine in the draft for a DE with questionable effort. And Prisco gives them an "A" for this WTF 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From Bob Condotta: "Interesting to hear Pocic identified as a tackle by Jacob Green. Assume that's where Seattle sees him." He also said that Pocic has never been to Seattle, which would explain why I hadn't heard him discussed previously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kopy 489 Posted April 29, 2017 Told you they liked McDowell. They also needed him to go with Reed and Rubin. Scratch DT off our needs list. I don't know Pocic, I'll have to look him up.

Marshall 98 Posted April 29, 2017 Some post-draft comments on Rounds 2 and 3 from Schneider and Carroll, via Bob Condotta: Carroll, Schneider compare McDowell to Calais Campbell. Say Pocic can play anywhere on OL, no set position yet. Schneider says Seahawks didn't visit Pocic much trying to keep teams unaware of their interest. Carroll, Schneider say Griffin will start as an outside corner. Hill likely start out as a strong safety. Carroll on drafting Michigan players: "Coach Harbaugh does a great job.'' Smiles, laughter. But then says seriously a great program Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
