What ever dude. Sounds like a GM talking about a QB that is projected to possibly go early in the draft. This could have been said about the guys last year and the year before, other than the contact with the coaches here. Why bring up Grubb and Huff at all if they don't like the kid?Someone saying "real steady performer," "had a real nice workout," "really cool person," and "we’re all happy for Michael" does not exactly scream, "We are completely into drafting this guy!" The words might as well say, "Look, Grubb and Huff coached this guy within the last year and we aren't going to say anything bad about him, but we are definitely not taking him in the 2024 NFL draft."
https://www.espn.ph/nfl/draft2024/insid ... t-fits#SEATop three needs: G, LB, TE. The Seahawks will likely sign a veteran guard soon, but that still leaves an opening at the other starting spot. Given how often general manager John Schneider talks about the lack of quality offensive linemen in the NFL, picking in the middle of the first round might offer one of his best chances to find one.
Seattle signed Jerome Baker and Tyrel Dodson to replace Jordyn Brooks and Bobby Wagner at inside linebacker, but both got one-year deals, and there's not much experienced depth behind them. At tight end, Noah Fant (two years) and veteran Pharaoh Brown (one) are on short-term deals, so the Seahawks could use a rookie with four years of club control to fill the No. 2 or 3 role. -- Brady Henderson
Prospect to fill a need outside Round 1: Cooper Beebe, G, Kansas State. Beebe would fill in right away at left guard where he has had a wealth of experience. New coach Mike Macdonald will likely want to shape this defense around what he ran in Baltimore, and Beebe would help Seattle's strength up the middle. -- Reid
“He just may not be that super-mauler guy with 38-inch arms and unbelievable mass,” Edholm said. “To me, I’d rather have the technician who just reaches all the benchmarks as opposed to somebody who’s way beyond them but doesn’t have the football part of it as mastered as he seems to.”
