As I post this, news of the Jaguars signing Jake Bobo. The Seahawks have 5 days to match the offer that Jacksonville gave Bobo. I don't really want to write a full article about it until we know the terms of the deal.
Thoughts on Bobo potentially leaving for Jacksonville?
I was surprised we tendered him at all...he's a great team guy but he's barely one dimensional and easily replaceable. I wish him well he was awesome to have during his time here.
Surprising. I'd hope to keep him but you can't overpay for a good special teams, good blocking, number four wide receiver. I could see a scenario where Bobo doesn't make the squad anyway.
My favorite draft sims I run do not involve getting a RB unless you count Eli Heidenreich as an RB...I think he's a WR. I like trading up early and trading down but also picking as many times as possible before 100-120.
I follow Sam Teets and really like what he has to say about linemen. I think Price would be a solid pick at 64, but I would be disappointed in Bisontis at 32 unless all the top edges and CBs were gone. I lean more toward the 3rd round for RB or 4th round if they find a trade partner at 32. I just don’t see Price there at 64 in any of the mocks I ran, and Washington from Arkansas is a more of a posibility at 64. But if the Hawks go CB in round one or early 2nd with a trade back, I’d see if Jacas or Derrick Moore is there at 64. Or Dani Denis Sutton if they pick up an earlier round 3 pick. Trading back will be hard this year unless someone really enticing fall 10-12 spots from projected. And if that person is seen as a round one pick by the Hawks, why would they pass up on him?
I think there’s a chance JS really does feel Holani is a possibility to step up and be effective at RB. He is a better 3rd down back, a decent receiver, a much better blocker than K9. Having him in the backfield on 1st and 2nd down would make passing the ball downfield a better option given his blocking ability. Kenny Mac has flashed, Jacardia Wright is talented but unknown, Wilson had 2 very good games when he got to start (200 yards total for those games) Jones is unknown, Charbs could be back for the playoffs, so maybe we are talking about adding an UDFA and going somewhere else in the 3rd round. WR in round three could be an improvement on Bobo. The big, slow ND receiver whose name I always blank on is similar to Bobo but looks more athletic and strong.
I predict JS trades down (unless Boston falls to them). Vegas has a high second and several Day 3 picks. A trade down for that second, plus a 4th n 5th, sounds reasonable…

I would match. He is a great WR blocker and special teams. The money is just not that much.
Nooooooo. Keep Boboooooo!

Well if he’s gone, then I guess No Mo Bobo.
Bummer from the name perspective. I don’t see him above WR4 with the Hawks.
Knowing JS and his history he will see what he can find even if and UDFA. I guess there is no dot and out RB on the board he thinks he can get.
