I voted that Love would play more than Adams, but honestly it was only because I am still a little gun-shy about Adams possibly not being ready or getting hurt again. I don't claim to know or want to guess the future, so my vote was one out of concern/fear for Jamal's health.

As a Bronco and Drew Lock fan, I love reading your thoughts. Thanks for letting me read for free

Trying to stay calm over here, now that Al Woods got released. He was our best run-stopper on the DL and our only true NT. I'm anxiously awaiting Seaside Joe's word on the move, while repeating my calming mantra... "trust them, trust them. Trust. Them."

I'm betting we get our ILB at 5 or 20. Other than OL and pass rusher, ILB has been one position that PCJS draft relatively high. Brooks in the 1st, Bobby in the 2nd. And we definitely need one. Ideally we should have 2 in our 3-4, and right now we have a half of one in an injured Brooks. Maybe Bush winds up being another one, but I think PCJS will reach for their guy this year and not blink an eye when tye 'experts' call them out on it. The only thing I don't know is if they like any of the ILBs coming out this year.

I love your insights and knowledge, but I disagree about the center position. The center is vital to an effective O line and I feel #38 or #53 will be the positions to fulfill our center needs for the next 8 to 10 seasons. Please get a good center with another guard selection to shore up that O line.

This film reviewer really seems to appreciate Evan Brown's game.

At the end of the season, Pete acknowledged that the front seven needed an upgrade, Looking at the Seahawk’s free agency signings and releases, it appears to me that the Seahawks concluded that the front seven didn’t just need a few couple of additional players but a complete overhaul. Given that the Seahawks are clearly completely overhauling the front seven, it is not realistic that the Seahawks could remake the front 7 using the draft alone, so I think it is a stretch to try to anticipate their future moves based on what we have seen to date.

I forgot to mention that Pete Carroll must see a lot of good in Drew Lock. This makes it even harder to figure if we draft a QB. I mentioned I like Hendon Hooker at 20, I see a good brain for the game, a high-end arm, and he can run some. I would be very happy if we somehow got B Robinson to be a running mate with K9. I don't see that at 5 more, like 20, but who knows. Two very good young runningbacks would be great. DJ Dallas and our late season kick returner, who I don't know how to spell his name, so I won't butcher it to round out that room.

I can understand why Jalen Carter was out of shape for his pro day. The young man has just lost a friend in a terrible accident. What I don't understand is why did his agent let him try. It may not but, this could cost him millions of dollars. The Seahawks will have the inside knowledge. I just think there is more to it when the can't miss ,stud, can't get through half of a very easy practice.

I like Hendon Hooker at pick 20, I don't have the info to say who we should take at 5. A starting guard in this draft would be great. I will also be happy with a high-end runningback, likely early round 2. Love is a good player, I also believe Adams will be with us next year. Love is a player that will allow Seattle to stay with their defensive scheme, if Adams can't comeback or gets hurt again. Last year was meant to be the year of the big safety. When Adams got hurt it changed our defensive plans greatly. Adams suffered a very serious injury. He tore the quad from the bone, something I have never heard of. I have always liked Jamal Adams as I do Rashaad Penny, let's cross our fingers he comes back healthy, he is a difference maker. Try Lewis at center if Brown doesn't work out, that's a random thought, that makes another guard so important. Jason Meyers is a very good kicker, as is Dickson. It shows how important the kicking game is. As a pair the two would rank near the top of the league.

I don't know if it's rational, but I've had a growing feeling the Hawks will select Jalen Carter with their #5 pick.

My feelings about how your estimations have been so far can be summed up in 2 words.... New. Subscriber.

Like most, I don't give my money away lightly. I have been known, on more than one occassion, to drive away from a fast food window with my van full of 6 kids before getting our food, because of the attitude of the employee at said window. Just because I demand to get service for my money and have the payee speak with respect for me doing so. You know, basic common customer service. I wasn't rude or angry. I just drove off, without blinking an eye, and told my kids exactly why. I then cruised on down the road to the next establishment who would value my time and money.

After thoroughly checking out your menu, I happily forked over my subscription fee and have been enjoying the daily delicious meals you cook up with love and appreciation for your paying customer... Me and my 12-dom.

5-stars on Yelp. Try the veal.

Is Dre’Mont Jones as good as a first round pick? In my opinion - yes.

This is because he is hitting the right age in the NFL. It is pretty rare to have a rookie DLineman (almost no matter how high) make a big impact right away.

If they were serious about Allen (and still have the cap space) we saw two day 1 trades last year. Could the hawks trade a pick for a player? Seems doubtful but I would certainly be interested in exploring that option especially if the player is still on a rookie deal.

So you're thinking Dre'mont Jones is roughly the same as having an extra late first/early second-round draft pick, Julian Love frees up a third-round pick, Evan Brown is worth an extra day three pick but would take a much higher pick to upgrade, and all the other guys are just JAG's? I'm OK with that. It sounds like a good off-season to me thus far.

Taking the first kicker off the board never seems to work? Ask our friends in Detroit how drafting that kid from WSU worked out. Sometimes magic happens.

Conventional wisdom after the first week of free agency is that Seattle can go bpa in this draft having used FA to plug critical holes with players who can start. PCJS have enough picks that they should be able to add good football players without worrying about position. They can go in almost any direction in the first two rounds which makes this draft very exciting. No one knows what they’ll do and frankly I haven’t a clue!

What's wrong with the other substacks? Well for starters they don't send goons (that's right, I called them goons) to my house telling me that if I'm not typing comments here then I don't have any use for my fingers and "Wouldn't it be a shame if you's fingers became useless...?"
