Yeah but if they suck you really don't care about controlling them at low rates. You want them off your team because at some point they don't even become worth it at low rates. Just like Taco.
That could be but we didn’t do any better with our last two late round picks then they did. I guess you could argue Cooper but when he only shows up in half the games and we only had him for a short time before his contract was up I don’t think it’s that big of a difference.
Their defense is what helped them be so successful in the past and it worked so why not try again? Wilson has Metcalf and a good RB and he could use O line help but IIRC a lot of that was due to injuries. Last year their offense was top 10 and their defense was bottom 10. They went three years without a first round draft pick and still competed in two Super Bowls during those years. You might not as well even count their other first round picks after that because they didn’t have another pick one year and the others were all busts yet they still made the playoffs almost every year.
They’ve been very competitive without a worthwhile or no 1st round picks for a decade and now they got the best safety in the league and are going two more years without a 1st rounder (most likely late) and suddenly they’re idiots, paid too much and are doomed? Based on the past ten years, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Plus I think a lot of people like to downplay how good he is only because we didn’t get him. Just like every other time we’re looking at a FA, he would be a game changer if he came here but once he goes somewhere else he wasn’t worth it and not all that. That includes are own guys who we let walk
There's a big difference in salary being paid as one of the best quarterbacks in the league and being the best safety. Not only that but they have years of control of Adam. I believe 2. Dak does not have a long term deal. The time to get "kings ransom" has passed.
Lol, why can’t I use the Cowboys? Most people in this thread say they wouldn’t want the Cowboys to give up 2 first rounders, who else should I use besides the Cowboys and Seahawks?
Fantastic, thanks for the intelligent reply. You’re reaction is typical of people who know they’re wrong, can’t handle the truth and have no decent rebuttal.
They paid more than I would have paidSome franchises are actually all-in on winning championships, others are content just talking about it.
Anyways, here comes the "they paid too much" crowd.
Talking about being wrong! So a team gives up 2 first rounders for the best safety in the league means another team will give up 2 firsts and 2 seconds for a QB that most people here think is overrated?
With the cap likely to be a mess next couple years I think those picks will be more valuable than ever
On the other hand next years draft may very well be even more of a gamble than usual so the Seahawks got a known talent and won’t be throwing darts like a lot of teams outside of the top 10 picks may be.
I don’t see first round being that much different though I agree next years draft is gonna be a challenge. I think mostly later in the draft
They have drafted in the high twenties of the first 5-6 times out of the last 10 years and didn’t have a first round pick the other 4 years. Even the picks they had were all busts, this wasn’t a bad move for them assuming he doesn’t disrupt the locker room or get injured which is a risk with all players.
You can't use the Cowboys because they are one of the best drafting teams in the 1st round in the league. Even if you foolishly eliminate Zeke......LVE came in day 1 as a starter. Zeke came in day 1 as a starter. They failed on Taco. Fair enough. But the rest of their guys are either perennial all pro players or pro bowl players. Let's let LVE play a 3rds season before we call him a bust. Its too early to tell on Lamb. You are being ridiculous for whatever reason.
