I just read an article by Almar Reyes on 12th Man Rising who posits that we should purse a trade for Lamar Jackson. He points out that Jackson is still only 25 years old. I'm just curious if you all think Jackson is worth a Russell Wilson type payout. Reyes suggest a deal might look like
No thanks. I just get sick to my stomach thinking about the Seahawks losing out all the amazing draft capital and cap room savings that they just attained. Let the long-term future play out with a normal, non-sensationalized, rational approach.
I agree that the Hawks won't draft a CB, even Sauce Gardner in round one. I'm putting Charles Cross back on the list after doing more reading. It seems we've committed to a zone run scheme and I'm betting we mix in more outside runs this year. Cross isn't a mauler but zone doesn't need a mauler; it requires that you get a body on the defender at the right time. Smarter, more agile linemen are the standard.
He's not agile. His 3-cone time would be worse than any previous Seahawks offensive tackle by a good 2/10ths of a second or more. His vertical is worse than any Seahawks OL under Pete Carroll. He's a bad athlete who needs a ton of work in the run game.
Something about SAUCE scoring MORE TDs from opposing QBS than the WRs he was covering I LIKE.
Cade York ... just do it, maybe in the 6th, if'n we get one. Thanks, Kenneth.

2022 1st round pick (9th overall)
2022 2nd round pick (via Broncos)
2023 1st round pick (via Broncos)
2024 1st round pick.
Plus a huge new contract.

Does that mean you don't think Jackson is worth the price or that the Hawks have too much team building to accomplish before any QB will tip scale?
He's not worth the price on draft capital or the 50mm we'd have to pay him the following season. On top of that, he's not an accurate passer.
