The more I think about it, the more I think the Seahawks wanna return to the LOB era ball control offense.

#19 this year?  Or is that too much?

Man, I don't like the primadonna road he seemed to start to venture down... Plus he will want a major contract. He is a beast, no doubt, but I think I'd stay away.

I think he probably would fetch a 1st. 19 doesn't seem over the top.

Anyway, curious if Watson's price or greater or less than Wilson's and if the Wilson deal set the market for Watson now at two 1sts+ instead of 3.

Right now, with a possibility he could go to prison and with a whole lot of bad PR in his future as these lawsuits happen, his price is probably lower than Wilson's.  But if you wait until after those hurdles are cleared (assuming they are), I would think his price would skyrocket past Wilson's.

In my 1st mock offseason, I projected the Russ to Denver trade (albeit for a LOT less in compensation). Now let's propose to Seattle to become the Western QB Factory and trade them Hurts:

Sad reality.

Boston Scott is fine as the 3rd RB.  All he does is produce when his number is called.

Wait you projected Watson to Denver, after he was traded and predicted the wrong compensation?

 No, I was literally typing all that up in between work conference calls for like 2 hours and hadn't even seen the Russ deal before I posted. After I posted I came back to the blog, and was like WTF?

@Iggles_Phan the dream..... is over. 

I knew he'd never end up here... but I think they over valued him, no reason to franchise him, especially coming off an ACL.  

Denver gave up a ton for a guy in his 30s. Screw that. And Watson didn't do crap with the best WR in the league in the playoffs. Screw him and his baggage, too.

Eh, I'm not opposed to it but don't see it not happening as an indicative failure for the offseason already.

Dude, just go be a Bengals fan.

No. They gave up 2 1sts, 2 2nds, a 5th, Drew Lock, Shelby Harris, and Noah Fant...for a QB already in his mid-30's who has taken an awful lot of big hits in his career. HARD PASS.

See above. Why are you an Eagles fan?

You took the bait.  That's what he does around here.

Meh. I don't mind him. 

My comment was more in regards to having a quiet, uneventful off-season. 

The Eagles will definitely do something, though. Likely not anywhere near that big (nor should they trade five picks and three players).

Who...Metcalf? Lockett? They're good, but not the best WR in the league.

I don't mind Scott either. He's actually a pretty good goal line back. This year I'd like to see Sanders, Rookie bigger dude, Gainwell, Scott with Huntley on PS.

I think a safety and WR in FA is quite likely.  Possibly an edge rusher.

I have us taking DJ Chark, Justin Reid and Charles Harris in my mock offseason.

 

 

So happy we didnt get Wilson. Just another domino fallen towards us getting Kenny Pickett in the Draft. Next will be Watson traded somewhere else, then Hawks wanting Jalen Hurts 2.0 (Willis)

 

Hopefully Redskins trade for Watson (Yes they are still the Redskins to me)

Then we trade Hurts to the Panthers

He was talking about Watson, not Wilson:  "And Watson didn't do crap with the best WR in the league in the playoffs."  I assume he meant Hopkins, who might have been the best or close to it then.

Ah yeah, totally misread that. And yes I agree DHop was arguably the best then. Thanks for clarifying.

Hurts wishes he could throw the ball like Willis can.  I would have liked to have seen Willis to play in major programs with the coaching like Oklahoma and Alabama.  And not to mention the athletes they are able to get on offense.  Willis is more moldable.  Hurts is hard clay.  He is what he is at this point.  

 

Both are one and read and run, right now.  But still a weak comp.  

I think Hurts will be Tyrod Taylor, more or less

Not sure how I feel about Wilson in Denver. Big upgrade on defense which is nice, and a decent group at WR with Sutton and Jeudy. Still it's somewhat of a lateral move at OL which is sad considering how weak Seattle's OL has been, and no 1st/2nd for 2 years to address it.

Willis does have a better arm but other then that they are very identical even down to height and weight. Both one read QBs who cant read a progression, both have major accuracy concerns, both have happy feet and wont step up in the pocket. There are way more similarities between them then differences which I agree the arm strength is that one difference we saw.

Scott is what he is but there's no way I'm paying him $2.43M to be the 5th option.

He wouldn’t have been a buc without the tag , some team would have thrown a boat load at him . Bucs and him couldn’t agree on a new deal , so enter the tag .

Are we really comparing Kenny Pickett to Michael Vick?

They ain't got no picks to give.
