2013 NFL Draft - Who Ya Got?

Seahawks don't pick until #56. We really have no immediate NEEDS so I'd like them to pick either someone who has fallen pretty far to #56 or looking towards future salary camp implications, a guy who can step in when we have to start letting guys go who won't restructure their contracts.

Falling guys I'd like - Khaseem Greene, Kawann Short, Christine Michael.

Future starters - Ryan Swope (Rice is making way too much money without enough production so far), Terron Armstead or Kyle Long (Giacomini is decent but he makes too much for being just a decent RT and Mcquistan hasn't been healthy enough to earn his money either), Shamarko Thomas if we don't get a deal done with Chancellor.

I trust John Schneider though, since he took over all he's done in 3 years is find diamonds throughout the draft. If anything he should be better this year, because the one complaint is his 1st round picks haven't panned out as well as his late round picks.

This is the one time of year I wish I followed College Football more closely.  When it comes to any draft, I'm all about drafting the best possible talent for the best possible value.

Fortunately, my Vikings are hurting in so many areas, it's pretty wide open when it comes to who we could/should take.  I've heard rumors we're looking to trade up for a WR.  I'm not sold on that strategy...but then again, maybe there's a stud out there that could slip.

I don't know what I'd like better, the Lions taking Fisher, or Fisher going #1 overall.

Imagine a player from Central Michigan going #1!  There has only been one other CMU player drafted in the 1st round - Joe Staley.  Even better, he was a 2 star recruit, again showing how worthless HS recruit grading actually is.

But, him being a Lion would be great.  Have Reiff on the right side where everyone seems to think he'll be better and Fisher take over the opening at LT.

I'm surprised 2Goggs hasn't hit on this yet.

Just checked the futures for the Super Bowl and my Broncos (with the Pats) are the favorites right now at 6:1.

SO, with a team that's already looking solid, they are probably looking for someone to make some small improvements somewhere or maybe looking for something to the future.  I think based on the last playoff game, we could probably use something in the area defense for the deep threat.  Corner or safety.  Can't ever go wrong with a solid backup RB though.

I'm SO glad we are not looking for that "key guy" anymore (like a QB or RB, etc)

Probably just a pass rusher with a good agent!

You'd likely need a lot more than that to move up to a top 3 pick.  Just look at what Washington gave up to move from #6 to #2 to get RGIII.  Assuming Seattle makes the playoffs again and has a first round pick in the late 20's...there is no way you're going to move all the way up unless you package in a pro bowl player.

If we can find a crappy team that will finish in the bottom 10 we might be able to. Like say Oakland, we might not even need to trade up for that.

When Oakland is in the league...there's always a chance.

Wow!  The Vikings just got a lot better very quickly.  Floyd, Rhodes, and Patterson.  That's quite a haul of talent!!!  Add in a little Greg Jennings and voila!  Watch out NFC North!!!

I didn't realize Seattle and San Francisco had swapped first round picks next year.

There was a lot of belly-aching over that one this morning on the radio.  

This is what happens when a GM and Owner think they're smarter than everyone else...

1-1 with a combined score of 48-26 last year. 49ers lost a lot of talent this offseason. Seattle lost no one and gained some excellent talent. Enjoy your 1st rd wildcard game next year.
