    I think I'd roll the dice with a 4, but it's not a slam dunk. If he can get his shit together him and Lamb would be ridiculous, but I think he's a compete head case.

    2025 Draft Chatter Thread

    Leadership is one thing but if you're overemphasizing it for lesser talents then it's an issue. But as long as the requisite talent is there, which it is with our top 3 picks, if you add the intangibles stuff on top you should have something. EZ in particular was a massive steal where we got...

    2025 NFL Draft - 2nd Round Pick - Donovan Ezeiruaku, DE, Boston College

    I didn't think there was any chance he'd make it past the Skins and Eagles in the first, but here we are.

    2025 NFL Draft - 1st Round Pick - Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

    The whole "unathletic" thing has taken on a life of its own because he's so good in a phone booth and ran a poor 40. The reality of the situation is Combine testing means next to nothing for OL and he's actually fine as a puller (as O'Brien said), is really good climbing to the 2nd level off...

    2025 NFL Draft - 5th Round Pick - Jaydon Blue, RB, Texas

    I doubt Blue will be our "starter" because he's kind of one-dimensional at the moment and isn't amazing in pass protection right off the bat, but there should be a few games where he has the hot hand and has the most touches, especially when we go pass-heavy.

    2025 Undrafted Free Agent Signings

    Pretty shitty UDFA crop but that's what happens when you put together a really solid actual draft class I guess. My best guesses for guys who could make the roster are Clark, Barron and Neville.

    I looked at the Seattle snap counts from 2018-20 and didn't really see anybody who I would consider a FB in the top 15 or so. They consistently had 3 WR's in the top 10ish of snaps played though, so I'm guessing we'll see mostly 3 WR/1 TE/1 RB or 2 WR/2 TE/1 RB. So I'm guessing that might be...

    I like Luepke a lot and think he could have a specific role, but it's scheme-dependent. I'm just saying I could see Schottenheimer not valuing FB/pseudo-TE that much compared to a guy like Sanders who could conceivably handle the load for a few games if he had to. There's a bunch of factors at...

    I wonder how beholden to the FB position Schottenheimer is. I know Luepke can move around a bit, but if the stuff about McCarthy holding back some of the stuff Schottenheimer wanted to do is true, he may not be as in love with the position as McCarthy was. All of that is to say I could see us...

    Solid 4th CB for sure, we could probably get by with him as our 3rd CB for a few games but that'd require Revel to be ready to go out the gate.

    2025 OTAs and Minicamp Thread...

    I get it, on paper it looks bad, but I think his individual performance (and the defense as a whole) was skewed by how horrific they were over the first 6 or so games of the year when the entire defense was completely out of sorts and historically bad. They regularly gave up 200+ rushing yards...

    2025 OTAs and Minicamp Thread...

    Yea I think Mazi right now is comparable to late career Jonathan Hankins, who is a solid enough rotational 1T who can give you 20-25 decent snaps on run downs, but you don't really want him as a starter or one of your best DT's. Could he improve on that? Sure. Could he regress to how he played...

    2025 NFL Draft - 1st Round Pick - Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

    Yea that would make sense, the rest of the guys were pure OG's in college, except for Kenyon Green who I think played a year at LT somewhere along the line.

    2025 NFL Draft - 1st Round Pick - Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

    I thought he played it as a freshman but then moved inside, maybe it was the other way around which would account for why he had such a ridiculous number of sacks allowed.

    2025 NFL Draft - 1st Round Pick - Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

    I looked up the PFF stats on sacks allowed, QB hits and hurries for Booker compared to some of the recent 1st round OG's. I didn't include guys like Skoronski who were tackles in college but were drafted to play guard, since having played tackle kind of skews things. I also didn't include small...

    He was generally regarded as like a 4/5 to be fair.

    If he can be anywhere close to Ratliff-csliber as a 1T we're going to have an absolutely elite defense by 2026.

    Eberflus clearly values LB more than most DC's we've had around here recently.

    Kneeland and maybe even some Solomon Thomas as a jumbo DE.

    They were going to take McMillan if he was there so I think the board just fell a certain way that led them elsewhere.
