The Seahawks need a deep threat hope their is one in the second round !!!!!
Did you not read my earlier post? We don't need a deep threat... we have Ricardo Lockette, one of the fastest players from last year. He only played in two games, one catch in each, but he averaged 50 yards per catch. :lol: :clap:

No I didn't see that I thought you guys put him on waivers okay great you have a deep threat 50 yds a catch that is definitely deep threat material no doubt !!!!!!!!Good to see that Jackson is finally being allowed to do what he did best in college at Alabama St show off his deep ball!!!

I think that has more to do with who was delivering them the ball last season. (Cue Clenz rant) :lol:

Hopefully we'll see more use of speedster Ricardo Lockette (the Rocket) as he develops. He had 2 catches for 104 yards and a TD in the two games he played at the end of last season. Also can't wait to see what we have in 6'4 Kris Durham, who didn't get to play at all last year because of injury.
Again I disagree I say Jackson has one of the best deep balls in the NFL.I felt his arm was just as good as any of the guys in the 06 qb class that were drafted ahead of him.

Cardinals easily had the best first round of any of the NFCW teams.

Seattle, in taking Irvin, took a 3rd rounder in the 1st :lol:

What? Why? You like players that can't play the position they were drafted for? :suspicious:

Obviously, I hated the pick. If they were smart, it would have been Courtney Upshaw.

hahaha, yea right. Kolb or whoever is back there won't even have time to look downfield with that pathetic O-line. Good job, they selected a WR when they needed an O-lineman more. :clap:

And don't get me started on the Irvin pick. Pete Carroll must love reaching for his guys...a lot. Carpenter last year and now this. Should have went Ingram, Jones, or even Hightower before him. And if he loved Irvin so much, he could have picked him in the second round.

As long as the hawks have a solid rest of the draft, the sting won't hurt as much. At least they got 2 more picks out of that stupid move.

O line, while an issue, wasn't the biggest issue - it was A) no one other than Fitz to throw too, and B) Kolb holding the ball too long.

We took the BPA, who also fit a need. None of the OLinemen there at 13 would have helped - just not that talented

FWIW I have the Rams, Cards, Hawks, 49ers first to last as the best first round.

I would have taken Decastro at the Zona pick.

Spoiler: show
Consensus was that he was a 2nd rounder, and would be a 1st if not for the off the field stuff. Also, 7 teams had him listed in their top 15 players. His 38 sacks in 3 years between Mount SAC and WVU were pretty much on athletic ability and instinct alone... he'd never been coached to play DE. I'll wait to see how many sacks he gets this year before I make a judgment.

Sources from multiple teams indicate WVU OLB Bruce Irvin would have been the Jets, Ravens and 49ers pick in first round if available to them

Sherman gonna shut down both Fitz and Floyd?

Also - it was Senior vs Junior, and Floyd still caught 8 passes for 110 yards - if that is his idea of a shut down, then :rofl: :rofl:

Floyd gained 37 of those 110 yards on a third-and-12 reception in the final seven minutes, after Stanford had built a 34-6 lead.
Nobody is gonna shut down Fitz, even though Browner was all over him last year... he can't be stopped. Skelton and Kolb are gonna have a hard time throwing to Fitz though when he's on the ground because of BRUUUUUUUCCCCCEE!!!! :D

Great article on who he is and what he's overcome.

http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootbal ... nia-081011" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
He was a dropout at the age of 18.

For the next two years, Irvin was lost in a world of drug dealing and robbery. During that time, he was arrested for robbery and spent 2 1/2 weeks in a county jail.

But even that didn't slow down Irvin. It wasn't until one of his closest friends, whom Irvin declines to identify, was arrested for cocaine trafficking that Irvin decided to change his life.

The day after the arrest, November 14, 2007, a date Irvin has never forgotten, his friend called and pleaded with him to make the most of his raw athletic ability.

"You're blessed with something that a lot of dudes don't have," Irvin recalls his friend telling him. "Man, go to school and whatever you do, don't look back."

Ever since that conversation, Irvin never has during an improbable, nomadic journey that's transformed him from a troubled teen into an undersized star defensive end for West Virginia and major college football's top returning pass rusher entering the season

Jamarcus Russel and Kyle Boler can throw the ball 70 yards too....


That doesn't make them good QB's.


Jackson is a shit QB. He is not even close to being an NFL caliber QB. I felt that way when the Vikings took him....I really felt that way watching him play in Minnesota....and I still feel that way.

I'd rather have Tebow.

Neither of these had Brad Childress as a head coach who handtied Jackson while in Minnesota asking him to hand the ball off to Adrian Peterson in the first half then expect him to come out throwing in the second half like Unitas.Childress should have used the pass to set up the run instead nobody will confuse him when it comes to developing qb talent like Bill Walsh.
