Hey I got Walker right ha
Tell me more. I know nothing about him.
Best back in the country last year. Homerun hitter who also gets it done in the trenches. He just screamed Seahawk to me. Much more so than Penny.
Nice! Thanks!

Hawks must want Sam in the 3rd. If I’m guessing.

Breece Hall was more 'complete' but Kenneth Walker has juice. He looks more like the fast, small back than the bruiser that we normally like. Excited to see what he can do.

Mafe is a freak athlete that isn't fully developed as a football player, but huge upside. 4.5 speed, 40" vertical if you're into stats. He has a couple good moves, but apparently doesn't have great polish to put multiple moves together yet.

Solid starter to superstar potential for both picks.

Home run hitter for sure. But, not the best back in the country. That’s Hall. Much better receiver too. Excellent back. But, not the best. I guess draft position proved that.

Excellent back, I guess this we basically know what the plan is after the 1 year contact of Penny.

They feel they are good at QB. Should be obvious by now.

I wouldn't say they feel GOOD about QB. Just nobody out there that is notably better than what we have (unless we can get the Browns to give us Mayfield for nothing).

I would've rather had Booth than a RB, but I like Walker and we added three really promising players, and I'm excited about that. This is the first time in recent history the Seahawks didn't reach. Whether it works out or not, time will tell, but I can feel good about this.

holy crap they list Walker at 211 lbs - he looked small in all the clips I watched. 5'9" 211, he's a load, with 4.38 speed. Nice!

I guess. Lock is it —4th year magic we hope.

Then again they though getting tons of oline man cheap would make a better oline. Or tons of DE cheap and have a pass rush. Or 2 firsts and a 3rd for a one trick pony safety.

My trust in Pete and John isn’t real strong.

The super positive thing here is our oline will be better with Cross and Blythe, so creases will be bigger and this dude will be gone. That’s what he will bring. We will see if he can develop with his hands. Will have to to aid Lock.
