Oops, I got him mixed up with Cunningham. I guess I am a racist.

Mariotta is done. He broke mentally, and will never be the same. None of the QBs are worth picking at #9. I think they'll trade down, but the correct pick at #9 would be an edge rusher. I happen to be watching McShay's latest mock and has us picking Thibodeaux, which I like. Another guy has Ikem Ekwonu dropping to us, which would be a MIRACLE. Neither will ever happen, of course, because they will for sure pick some schmuck WR or S projected at #25 or so.

I have to think that they are doing their due diligence here. I'm not a big fan of Watson. I'd much rather trade back from the 9th pick and load up in the trenches and on defense. Then try and trade up to get QB Will Levis in the 2023 draft.

if they trade for Watson, I think that would be the straw the breaks my back. It makes no sense giving up basically what they got for Russ to acquire a player of similar skills, with a contract that is more than Russ' that will definitely want to throw the ball more and oh, is a known sexual predator. The Seahawks do due diligence on EVERY top player that might be available, and always get lumped into the rumor mill because of it, but I can't think of a time when those rumors have proved to be true. I really hope this one isn't.

Again did he rape anybody did he hold them at gunpoint did he hit them. I think people might be blowing this just a tad out of portion. Is he a pervert, yes. Did they have free will to leave. Again these are until proven guilty all ACCUSATIONS & nothing more if he's indicted or found guilty that changes the scope of things. Again does he deserve a 2nd chance, yes but I would say should definitely be watched closely. I guarantee if he took us to the Super Bowl people's perspective of him would change. Imagine how Steeler fans feel about Big Ben or Atlanta fans feel about Vick. Again lets let this thing play out in the courts before we go around falsely accusing anyone of a crime. He's a proven commodity.

Still think SEA should swing a trade for Huntley.

Mariotta is interesting. Personally, in your scenario? I would still take Willis. The more I think about what I have seen out of him at Louisville the more excited I am. I don't think he would be as accurate as Russ, but back in 2012 neither was Russ!
Yes, Marcus had a 4.48 40 out of O. I don't know if he is healthy or like Wilson slowed down as we all do over time. But, if he is still mobile that would be a nice element to deploy.

this is a psychotic take on it, an argument a sexual predator would make - "well yeah, he did some stuff, but look at all the WORSE stuff he COULD have done". How do you feel about Bill Cosby? He didn't hold them at gunpoint or hit them either. What about pedophiles that molest 4 year olds? They weren't held at gunpoint either. Watson is a large man, professional athlete, with considerable influence, and those women were just trying to make a living - they put up with a lot, because there could be repercussions to resisting. That is your gunpoint that kept them from walking away, and he took advantage of that.

Also, you cannot guarantee people's perspective of him would change. That is bullshit. Super Bowls are great, but I don't change my opinion about a human being because they won a game. I'll have some sympathy for someone that made an honest mistake or did something that didn't hurt anybody (like gambling or a DUI), but he hurt a bunch of people so fuck him.
