55 PFF rating. Gross.

Laken Tomlinson or as Biden would say Lincoln Tomlinson...

Total waste of $4 mil. He, Anchrum, and Bradford is the worst OG group in the history of football.

He is better than both of them 51.7 for Bradford and 46.8 for Anchrum. LOL

echo that, and he has been durable and healthy to boot, so an upgrade from Haynes at least, not from Lewis. be interesting to see the incentives as to whether he likely gets to the $4M or ends up being only 2 or 3. JS always likes these small moves right before the draft - incremental increase to make a large hole slightly smaller so as to give yourself more flexibility. Now only HAVE to draft one or two IOL instead of 2 or 3.

59.6 for D Lewis gets $13.5 mill
55 for Tomlinson at $4 mill

I don't know......it seems we got essentially the same guy for $9mill less

Lewis got massively overpaid by a dumb franchise.. Hopefully John won't use this as an excuse to not focus on O line in the draft.

You really think John is that stupid?

I don't know. If he had anything to do with drafting Christine Michael, L.J.Collier, and Malik McDowell then he just might be.

You know Malik McDowell was actually a great pick. There was no one who could have anticipated what would happen to him. He was in an accident. I'm sorry people go out on a quads every damn day without incident. So to blame any of the people who drafted him after the accident is pretty disingenuous.

Christine Michael was drafted with pick 62, the last pick of the 2nd round. There were no other RB's taken behind that were much better than he was. Oh sure, you can go back and say you could have had Kelce but the reality is if Kelce had come to the Seahawks he would not be the player he is today because the Seahawks have never really used TE's much...even when they traded for Jimmy. There was not really an opening on that team...they were a stupid play away from winning the Super Bowl that next year, so no one would have been useful to that team at #62.

Tired of this excuse. There were Red Flags all over McDowell. No one could have predicted the injury, but a guy with top ten talent didn't slide that far because there was no risk. And with C Mike? First off, how did you EVER watch him, before we drafted him or after, and justify a second round selection? Not to mention, we had RBs! It was a wasted pick. Zero reason to draft a third back that high when you have Lynch and Turbin. No different than taking Penny when you have Carson and Davis. Jesus Christ, the amount of excuse making from fans for picks that NO ONE ELSE supports? Go watch McDowell rag doll a cop in a mini mart because he was a fuckwad, and tell me that was a defendable pick. The dude was an asshat, and we wasted a pick on him because, once again, we thought we could change someone.
