These seeming poor mock drafts are Way better than the phony rumor-mill. Those that lead with headlines like: 'Seahawks trade for Derek Henry' - 'Lamar Jackson for Kyler Murray' - 'Bat Boy goes to Washington', or 'Alien Stole my Husband's Skin' (from Men In Black's 'Hot sheets' scene)...

The Zero shred of actual credible information anywhere in a story allows certain 'media' members to create headlines (click-bate) worthy of hording for the next Pandemic (TP substitute)...

What is worthy is reading these days? I have found that Seaside Joe offers a refreshing resource. Comments from readers quite often are good stuff. As for video options, My favorite is Mid-Atlantic Murph from 'Top Billin' on YouTube does a good job telling it like it is...He does stories on a few teams, including the Seahawks. Here is an interesting piece on Jamal Adams:

His piece on Hendon Hooker being a Geno Smith clone was great. He does use some language, but you can tell this dude has not only studied film, he has been in the huddles before. Great insights.

I had not watched the Florida game, so that was a good bonus. For the fifth or sixth time I will say I like Hendon Hooker. Does this mean he will be good in the NFL, who knows. A couple of years ago I wrote Joe that I wanted the Hawks to draft Dee Eskridge. What I liked he is built like a runningback and can fly. A serious concussion an injury has kept him off the trust tree, maybe this year, a big maybe. What I have liked about Hooker is he makes the layups he has a strong arm and can run. I can't see watching Hookers tape and Will Levi's tape and how "Rob "Stanton" would side with Levi's. There is a weak argument his guys were open, as he said that's not his fault. By the way if you watched the breakdown, I think Hooker threw away the fade route to the corner. He kind of reminds me of our G Smith. People forget going into year 3 Geno was looking OKish and then got his jaw broken over $600. Hooker can THINK run and throw plus he has two years of being a starter. Over those two years you can see him improve. I like the excitement of Anthony Richardson. My analogy for him is a pro boxer getting a heavy weight title shot after ten bouts. He has a punchers chance. It could make him better so that by 20 fights he might have it or it could crush him. The other thing how does he get better playing 3 pre season games and scrimmages. I would love to see him make it on any team as he is electric. The Hawks may have the choice of either player, neither starts 2023 for different reasons. What pressure P/J face. If you pass on one or both and one becomes a star yikes. If they do pass it says a lot about Geno and Drew.
