Jamal Adams moves on to the Titans, no one cares.:laugh:

Aside from Seahawks fans that is, we can begin the healing. Like the player alright, but that was the most damaging trade to the franchise since Max Unger.

Yep. Pete wanted another elite S like thomas/Kam, but that Adams was really a 3-4 LB. Couldn not cover.

If you look at where the picks landed, they gave up the chance at Dillisaw the OT that Minny picked (or if the NYJ don't use the pick to trade up), they might have taken him where Vera-Tucker was selected. Outside of Dillisaw, I didn't think any of the other 1st rounders would be great on Seattle, maybe Newsome the CB to CLE. 2nd round with Holland (S) to Miami and Dickerson (now OG to PHI, but was drafted as a C from Alabama), or Barmore DT to NE, would have been the best use of that pick at 23 in 2021.

2022 - That was the Garrett Wilson pick. They take him there they use 2023 on someone other than JSN or they get aggressive and use the Spoon and JSN picks to move up to #3 AZ to grab Richardson the QB.

So, yes in the end, it was a very bad move for Seattle. Had they made the move at the 2020 draft with the Brooks pick and the 2021 pick, that would not have been as bad.

It is a good time to be a Guard, seems like almost every position is getting paid well other than RBS

RBs and, for whatever reason, C. 14 guards and 23 tackles are paid more than the highest paid center.

RBs, not many complete backs these days or even pure RB like Petersen. A lot more by committee. Sadly, that 3 year stretch where CMC, Zeke, Gurley, Bell got paid and then got hurt really damaged the RB pay scale. The drop off from RB1 to RB2 for a lot of clubs, isn't that immense these days. Could change as more and more HS players switch from RB to another position. But, given the typcial RB build of under 6 feet, that means a move to slot WR or Secondary.

C, they typically help the OG on a block, vs take on the DT one on one. But, their main job is calling the protection, thus more mental than physical.

Paul and Mitch Marner vibes. This guy is gonna flop.
Or at least going to cost the bears an arm and a leg should he be good (just top 10 good). He’s going to push to be the highest paid once he comes off his rookie deal. And probably even after year 3 since that is the earliest he can sign a new deal.
