Finding the next franchise quarterback needs to be the Seahawks highest priority. There will be no Super Bowl dreams until that role is ably filled. Getting that player is so critical that this blogger even hedged about whether it was worth missing the playoffs this year to get a higher...
Mock drafts flood the InterWeb this time of year. Everyone who has a computer can proclaim who is going to get picked by which team without anything to support their assertion beyond a gut feeling. The reason betting on draft choices has not taken off the way betting on, say,...
No player helped their draft stock more at the Senior Bowl than Colin Kaepernick. People knew he had gaudy rushing and passing numbers from his time at Nevada, but seeing him run away from bigger conference defenders while also showcasing consistent accuracy forced many to reconsider his classification as a...
Jake Locker will never be a viable franchise quarterback. There are some NFL talent evaluators that hold that opinion. Other teams believe he has all the tools to be a great player, and simply needs some solid coaching. Few players in this draft have the spread of possible draft positions...
If you are enough of a fan to read this blog, you probably already know this, but I wanted to take a moment to explain the significance of the court ruling today. Feel free to correct or expand if you know better, which is entirely possible. The basic gist is...
If you have not already taken a spin through my seven-part positional analysis of the Seahawks, I recommend taking a moment to read those as the content will help you absorb the information in this post. This article will focus less on specific players, and more on matching up Seahawk...
The seventh, and final, installment of this series on off-season positional analysis will look at the most important position on the field, quarterback.

Part six of this series looks at the backfield. The seventh, and final, off-season positional analysis will be on the QBs. I will then roll it all up into an overall off-season plan that takes into account team need, available free agents by position, and draft depth by position. There...
The Tight Ends did their thing at the combine today, so let’s kick off part five of this series focusing on the receiving corps, including tight ends. Brandon Marshall was the talk of the early off-season last year as the Seahawks looked for that classic #1 receiver who could challenge...
Part four of this series will focus on the linebackers. Let’s take a look at where we are, and where we might be after the off-season. Most casual observers would rank linebacker as an area of strength for the Seahawks. After all, Lofa Tatupu is Pro Bowler multiple times over,...
A rare day back home, and the scent of the NFL Combine has brought me out of my Winter hibernation for the next in a series of off-season positional analysis. Part three of this series will focus on the secondary. Let’s take a look at where we are, and where...
