“I’m really concerned about his speed,” said a third scout. “The (4.52) is not real good nowadays, and I don’t think he plays that fast. He plays like 4.6 to me. He’s a really good player. I just don’t see that explosiveness.”
Sure. You're able to eyeball 8/100s of a second. That doesn't sound like cocksure BS at all... 🙄
I would take Nolan Smith or Michael Mayer (he´s still there) at No. 20, but im not Pete nor John and I still like this selection. There´s only one word that scares me in the case of Jaxon....hamstring.....If we don´t hear that word, he can open the field for everyone and make even TE´s better....I like name Jaxon by the way (and want to say that I like Jaxson too after Day 3 :-) )
Also, while SS Joe is good enough to not need to dedicate so much energy towards Rob Slaton, I still get it. The sheer arrogance of that guy. Completely whiffing on his projections is forgivable, but the way he dismissed possibilities that ended up actually coming into play is not.
Tonight went well. I suspect Seattle came into tonight with Will Anderson and perhaps a particular QB as their top targets, but when the board fell the way it did, they pivoted to BPA at two premier (expensive) positions. Well done.
Two three tight ends were cool at times last year, but this guys going to put up twice the numbers of any two of them put together. Geno is going to love this guy, just like Stroud did/does even more than Wilson and Olave.
Yea, I am pleased. Has anyone heard confirmation that Witherspoon will be playing NCB? Because JSN will be playing the slot, I assume. I'm sure everyone is fired up. 8 more picks. Three tomorrow. Fun times.
I hope they have a better plan for the rest of the draft. While Witherspoon and Smith-Njigba are talented players who will contribute right away, it seemed as if JS and PC were thrown off their plan and weren't prepared for the way the players came off the board. They got no help in the trenches and that's where Pete says games are won and lost. Not feeling confident in this draft and with their lack of salary cap space what free agents can they bring in? Seems like the defense will not be improved from last year
Surprised, not because we selected him, because I never thought he would be there at twenty. When we were on the clock I felt tightend. I am happier it is Njigba as he is likely a high contributor from game one. He is a chain mover, as such it gives us that missing link. Look for Geno's numbers to soar, and DK and Tyler will be more appreciated by non Seahawks fans. Two picks two young well spoken technicians of there craft.
As a side note it will be interesting to see if the lions get roasted for taking a runnimgback and a linebacker with their two first round picks. The two positions that are considered by many so called experts to be a dime a dozen. That could seem like reality until your team doesn't have very good players at those positions.
It wouldn't take a brain surgeon to guess an interior defensive lineman will come tomorrow. Also don't give away AL Wood's parking place just yet.
Per a McGinn scout quote on seahawksdraftblog.com:

So what was the biggest surprise pick? Campbell in the first round was mine. I thought we could get him much later.
JSN may end up being very expensive. He increases Geno’s chance to make his bonus by more than little. Guess that is a good problem.
Seahawks instantly have the best Receiver Corps in the League. Try to Cover DK, Tyler, Jaxon, Dareke, Will, Noah, Colby and Ken. I Love this.

Yes. Plain and simple, yes.
Mid-Atlantic Murph congratulates the Hawks' pick of Jaxon Smith Njigba...he is also very thankful to celebrate Jalen Carter going to his Philly.
Here is his take:

Seemed to be a great YAC guy in college. Hopefully he can do that in the NFL.
They clearly drafted best player available over need. And they got two really good players.
JS "We got the guy we want."
PC "We're really Fired up!"
