I think all the trades sound good. The best being the Vikings ... the most likely being the Panthers. I would also consider trading the 5th pick for a player (defensive lineman ... IE Derrick Brown) plus draft capital. This happened at least twice last year (AJ Brown, Hollywood Brown) in the first round.

My feelings around the 5th pick have been excitement and are now morphing into a little nervousness. This is a huge pick for JS as he cannot make a mistake either by drafting a QB that doesn't work or by letting a QB be drafted that becomes special. The 5th pick is both exciting and a pressure cooker.

I would not favor trading down from #5. The Seahawks are more in need of Quality than Quantity, at this point. We already have enough draft capital to stock the roster and that is not the primary need. What we need are Star players to win championships by outperforming their opponents. If all the reports are true that John favored Mahomes and Allen over all the QBs of the past decade, then this strongly hints that, if he goes QB, it will be for Richardson, who most resembles them, right down to howitzer arms but uneven college careers and accuracy concerns. If not QB, then at least one of Carter, Anderson or Wilson will be there at #5, and any would be a huge upgrade for our defense.
