S Dom Hampton at 136! Don't screw it up!

LOL they are booing the hell out of Gretchen Whitmer...

but his lack of functional take-on skills will be tougher to mask versus NFL talent.

What does that mean. Knight's a good run defender but lacks take-on skills?

That's what it sounded like. Gotta go study him now. Aren't the 2 guys we signed coverage dudes? Maybe they needed a hitter?

Same thing for AJ Barner

SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Michigan, Barner was a versatile tight end in offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore’s pro-style scheme (60.0 percent inline, 24.8 percent slot and 15.2 percent wide). Lightly recruited out of high school (mostly as a defensive player), he wasn’t a high-volume pass catcher in college (had fewer than 30 receiving yards in 14 of 15 games in 2023), but it feels like there is more meat on that bone. With his acceleration into his routes, Barner can poke holes in zones and appears comfortable catching the ball outside his frame (see 2023 Michigan State tape). As a blocker, he lacks desired mass and sustain strength, but he creates a surge at the point of attack and shows the balance to be an effective backside puller. Overall, Barner is lighter than ideal to be an every-down Y tight end and doesn’t have the resume of a playmaking receiver, but he is a solid athlete with pass-catching upside and the play personality to handle run-blocking duties. He can provide depth on an NFL roster as a flex tight end.

God that sounds like a 6th rounder not a 4th rounder...

I'd rather have Parkinson. The Seahawk TE group sucks this year. How do you take Barner with Stover still on the board?

Again, from the Beast in Athletic
Nemiah Pritchett

A four-year starter at Auburn, Pritchett was the boundary cornerback in former defensive coordinator Ron Roberts’ zone scheme (with some man looks worked in). After putting his name on the map during the pandemic-shortened 202 season, he had his best coverage season in 2023, allowing just 46.2 percent completions (and two completions of more than 15 yards). A rangy athlete, Pritchett has the balanced footwork and stride spee d to play man-to-man, although his production suffers once his back is turned to the ball. In off coverage, he gets a tad high in his pedal but reads routes well with the drive burst to close on the football. Overall, Pritchett needs to improve his tackling and downfield judgement skills, but his length, speed and football character are traits NFL teams want to bring into the building. He projects as a rotational cornerback for an NFL secondary.

I had Pritchett graded in the round 6/7 range. I didn’t like the way he tackled at all, I didn’t like the way he struggled to track the ball and his frame just felt especially lean — so there’s no surprise he wasn’t great vs the run. He ran a 4.36 at 190lbs which is decent — but he’s smaller so you expect quickness. If you were adding a cornerback, I don’t really understand why you wouldn’t take a chance on TJ Tampa in round four. The Ravens took him, so it’s not as if he wasn’t a fit. I’ve found this day three to be extremely underwhelming.

NFL network completely ignored the Seahawks pick. Went to commercial as always, then ran an all-time 5th round picks short included 2023 Rams WR Puca, and skipped talking about our CB pick. By the way, would've much preferred Cam Hart at CB, big and fast instead of just fast, shut down Harrison last year and played great at Senior bowl week.

We still could've had Rattler, Pratt, Hampton, Van Prann and many others rated 2nd-3rd rounders instead of Pritchett who we probably could've had in the 6th. Now we'll most likely miss out on any of the others above. Guess we don't need a safety, and our 6s are a LONG way away with all the comp picks.
