Will Dursely. Seattle TE. If he can come back from the injury will be a force to contend with.

If you want good feedback, give some examples and we can debate them.

Honestly, I dont think it should be coach's challenge. Should be called from new york either way.

I would love to see seattle sign Weddle. The rest of the DB's are still so green that a veteran signal caller that can keep things in front of him and direct the troops would be fantastic.

Chargers and Eagles. Both because of the QB's :/

Oh man, poor guy, that some tough sledding

Is D. Thomas even on the field?

Huh. I guess the last part is a little hard to read...............

Pro Football Reference put together a metric called “draft value” which attempts to rate the draft value of players at different positions to arrive at a measure of how well teams have drafted. It ranges from 0-160, with only 1% scoring 80 or higher. It weighs factors such as number of games started, individual stats, team performance and all-pro honors. It also does not include a player’s career after he was traded from the team that drafted him. So, for example, Jared Allen’s value to the Chiefs was much lower because it did not consider his career after he was traded to the Vikings. BREAKING DOWN NFL DRAFT SUCCESSBased on this metric, here is how all draft picks over the past 20 years (not including last year) have fared overall: 16.7% Didn’t Play for the Team that Drafted Them. Most of these are draft picks that didn’t make the team, however, there were a few draft picks that were immediately traded that were of great value- Eli Manning and Philip Rivers for example. But generally these were few and far between so it is safe to say that most in this category (let’s say 16% of the 16.7%) were busts. 37% Were Considered “Useless” Also known as busts. These are players that had a draft metric of between 0-4, and rarely or never saw the field. Guys like Ryan Leaf, Ryan Mallet and the Vikings’ 1999 1st round pick Dimitrius Underwood, to name a few. These are players that basically did nothing to help the team at all - and represent over a third of all draft picks over the past 20 years. 15.3% Were Considered “Poor” Still pretty clearly in bust territory. These are players that had underwhelming careers with a draft metric between 5-10, and include some pretty well known busts such as Jamarcus Russell (who scored a 6). So, if you add up these first three categories of bust (excluding a few draft pick trades that worked out), you come up with just over 68% of all draft picks over the past 20 years have been busts- over two-thirds of all draft picks. I would rate coop better than all of those. But to answer my own question: Round Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 1 99.7% 93.5% 83.9% 77.4% 71.0% 2 96.8% 96.1% 83.9% 74.2% 41.9% 3 96.9% 75.1% 62.5% 37.5% 18.8% 4 91.4% 74.3% 54.3% 34.3% 17.2% 5 81.1% 56.8% 37.8% 24.3% 16.2% 6 70.2% 57.5% 35.3% 20.9% 10.6% 7 58.3% 45.8% 31.3% 21.7% 16.7% Thanks to Joe Mahoney for creating this visual chart.

Honestly I kind of like it. Whats the percentage of 1st round picks still on a team at the end the first season? Not that high. So they traded at best a 50/50 roll of the dice for a guy that could prove to be better odds than 50/50. I think dallas did alright.

Yet.

Seattle needs WR, and pots legal here too............

Seattle lost Baldwin, and likes trading with GB, might be an option.

In no great order: Dion Lewis Austin Eckler Jalen Richard

No disagreement there.

I dont think he needs to be. What the hawks need is a body with a nose for the endzone. Lynch had it, but since he left Wilson is the only one. Put Baldwin and Marshall on the same side and see what happens.

Yes and no, historically the hawks have had better years when they bring in the "old guy" through summer and pre season.......

And all of a sudden the Hawks might be able to contend this year after all.......

You are right, that would be another fit.

If Decker can return to pre injury form I would love to see him with the Hawks, he seems to have that nose to for the endzone that seems to be Baldwins only weakness. (I love Baldwin, but I have lost track of how many times he get stopped on the 1-4 yard line)

Part of me thinks that Hines becomes a danny woodhead type back right away. But Mack also has decent hands. Not sure exactly what to think to be honest. Who is the better blocker? I have to think that they will go with who can best protect Luck.

Trying to understand why isnt signed yet. I didnt get to watch him play, but his stats are a lot better than average....

I actually like the barkley/chubb idea. With Landry and a pass catching RB the west coast offense with a game manager suddenly makes a lot of sense. And if the D can be next level, the game plan favors the team that controls the clock, doesnt make turnover, and lets the opponent defeat themselves.

I think the fact the hawks tried to trade him the last two seasons and couldnt says more than him not having an agent.

Sherm has been a shadow of himself the last 2 years. More mentally than physically, just phoning it in. So hes smart enough to get 3 mil before he retires. Heck, even T.O. played for the hawks at the end.
