I am a bit surprised Germaine  Ifedi was not on the list--I think I would remove the TE and insert the LT candidate. 

Hunter Henry is nice and I would like him in the second, but we have not really visited with him (to the best of my knowledge-don't we always bring in the first rounder at some point?)

I'm saying what I think- hence the whole fuging point of a message board 

Isn't that what the people disagreeing with you are doing as well?

Meh, I'm ready for the draft, all this pecker measuring over pet prospects has been old.

That has been my one red flag on the Hunter Henry pick as well, however they may have him in between now and the draft. I think we met with Shaq really late last yr.

First Round: Ryan Kelly, Derrick Henry... or receiver( I know... I know)..draft is so deep that receiver may be BPA. I can see a run after the 20th pick.

Coleman, Dotson, Fuller, Tredwell, hell Gman had Funchess at a first round talent ...I could also see where he might give a first round grade to Boyd, Thomas and/or Shepard. If either Dodd or Lawson fall...all bets are off

Second: ... Trade up for Cravens..or Karl Joseph

Fourth: Lineman

Roster spots are at a premium.

I didn't call anyone out for having one- I think my message got lost in translation. I'm just saying it's dumb to say, "Wow you're just a joe schmoe what does your opinion matter?"

Furthermore, I totally understand why people are intrigued by Henry. He's a Heisman winner and an absolute mammoth of a human being. I'm fine with people liking him.

Out here on Seattle radio, they're talking up Henry at 26.  They, much like us, have several more important needs (OL, LB, DE) but a Marshawn Lynch replacement that runs as forceful and nasty as Lynch makes a lot of sense.  He was in town last week visiting, for whatever thats worth.  

John Schneider is one of the best in the bizz (along with DG), so Henry at the end of the first isn't such a crazy thought.  

Not that I needed a Seahawks GM to let me know this, but just to put to bed that Henry is only a 2nd round pick is a silly thought.  If DG thinks that Henry fits what the Panthers want to do on offense, and others on the board (Lawson, Robinson, etc.) are not there, Henry would be a good pick for us. 

There's always an argument to be made against a player in the draft (Star had health concerns, KB had drops, Shaq was a tweener).  I can argue why not to take most players you toss out there at 30, but I'd rather focus on how they fit with us.  A guy like Henry is a rare once-in-a-blue moon RB.  He could be a classic 'Bama back that flames out in the NFL with only a handful of good plays, or he could be an Eric Dickerson/Marshawn Lynch kind of matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. 

Nobody knows, but I trust our front office to make the right call.  

Funny thing is..... all of this Henry debate could be for naught 10 days from now when we step to the podium and draft ......

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
