With the way the rookie class has contributed there isn't much pressure to add anyone except maayybe a WR depending on how soon DK is able to get back. But even there, Marquise Goodwin looked pretty good last week, and there may be some opportunity for Dareke Young to get some snaps and see what he can do. The 2023 Seahawks will be better if they can keep working in their rookies.
I GUARANTEE it that the Hawks tried their darnedest to persuade the Broncos to include Bradley Chubb when Denver was desperate for their franchise QB - obviously, they would not part ways with their star pass-rusher and built a big enough stock-pile for JS/PC to go for it.
I Seriously doubt they will do so now. Chubb will remain in orange. There could be other targets but really, I think Pete is Confident with his team and we all know how much Schneider Loves draft capital. No mid-season trades unless we steal a player for the Steeler's 5th rounder or package one of our extra CBs.
Keep our draft picks. We could do a player for player swap with CB Jones to some desperate team outside our division, but no thanks on spending draft capital on expensive players.
Some draft analysts say this is a pretty terrible year for everything but QB's for the first round. And that only Wil Anderson will be worth what he is paid. Do you see lots of first round talent this year? I haven't heard about guys like Sauce or the entire Georgia defensive front 7 that were worth high first round picks last year. Are you seeing good value coming in the top of the first round?
Couldn't agree more. Save those draft picks and see how our needs shake out during the off season. You don't pay off debt just to free yourself up to go back into debt again. Build through the draft with young, cheap hidden gems. I could see some draft day maneuvering taking place but the last time we had two 1st round picks we ended up with Okung and ETIII and that seemed to work out ok.
The 2022 draft seems to have 4-5 really good QB's, Will Anderson, and then there is a big fall off. At the next level are a lot of players that Seattle doesn't need (TE's, RB's, and interior linemen). I'd like to see the 'Hawks trade for Bradley Chubb, then do whatever they have to do to get Anderson. Then it would be a WR early in the second round, and O&D linemen after that. Go Jags!!
-The draft is a crap shoot with only 31% of first round picks offered a second contract by the team that drafted them. First round picks comprise 50% of the All Pros so you have about a 15% chance of drafting a true impact player with a first round pick. If you can get Roquan Smith or DaRon Payne and sign them to an extension that isn't stupid money, it's a good move. My rules for trading a first round pick are 1) must have all-pro potential, 2) no rentals, 3) no senior citizens, 4) no walking medical cases, 5) they have to fit the scheme, and 6) they're personality should fit. Of course, it always depends on the ask.
-Question: Let's take the inside linebacker position. Your team is in contention. Would your rather field 1) an all-pro and a league average vet, 2) two above average vets, or 3) an all-pro and a day-2 rookie?
I'm definitely in the preserve draft capital camp. Would be really unhappy with a trade unless it's for another player or a day three pick for a ton of value. The Rams and 49ers have mortgaged their futures. Let's teach them a real lesson in how to build a team.
Stay the course, Bradley Chubb would be awesome but he is a free agent next year. Any contract would be top 5 edge meaning very expensive for the oft injured bruiser. I think Dallas will be good support for KWIII, because our offensive line is better and can block well enough for Dallas.
Because both the Niners and Rams have gone for the win now, which they should" Seattle is in a position to build a long lasting team.you do need to draft well, and when not picking 25 or worse P/J can get it done
No on Chubb. No question he is talented. However, once you make the trade, you also have to pay the man. That is going to be a lot of cap space. One of the best things the Seahawks going for them is their draft capital. That gives a lot of flexibility. You make that trade, the flexibility is gone. I would rather save the picks and go after a free agent during the offseason instead.
Keep our draft picks... PLEASE! The Hawks have set themselves up for something very special. Especially when considering the picks that the Ram and 49ers have. Gonna be sooo exciting!! Thanks for all the info.
I agree with the majority here. Keep the high draft choices. If a bargain like Diggs is available then consider it, but don’t give up premium draft capital for high priced rental players.
The Seahawks: "We all we got/we all we need."

We had a plan from the very beginning. It looked sound/reasonable. So far, it’s working wonderfully.
Don’t screw up what’s working OR If it’s not broke don’t fix it.
It's just not what the Seahawks do. I don't think they block.
They have players inn their board they want regardless of other teams.
How often do you hear, 'we wanted to draft him'?
Lock and Fant both come to mind.
Pete's a funny guy. He's happy for guys to get they opportunity. He's probably not even bummed McCaferty went to SF. He's just that way.

Keep the picks. Another draft like the last one and Seattle will be Super Bowl calibre team.
