It’s BS they were shocked that a guy ranked 60 was available at 27. Seriously, we are the only team that did that!

yeah, well i understand you don't like the pick, i think its a reach to expect JS to agree with you

I guess it is the repeated success with early round picks that has you believing it was a good decision? Sorry, when it comes to the first and sometimes second round, JS should probably start agreeing with guys like me, because he looks like a dumb ass.

[Donn Beach]

not talking about what i believe, talking about what JS believes, you don't think he believes it was a good pick?...why would he pick him then?

Didn't you post an article a week or so ago that described Schneider's approach as putting significant weight on how much need they had at each position. They have virtually no need for a Wagner prototype MLB so he must believe this guy wasn't just the best player available, but also way better than available players at positions that the Seahawks are actually hurting at. Schneider is either dumb if he thinks that, or is trying to spin the situation where he couldn't pull off a trade down that he wanted to make because he knew Brooks wasn't going anywhere. But yeah he was in a state of giddy disbelief that his guy was still there at 27.

Schneider is alone on an island (along with his fan club of man-crushers) with that analysis.

you talking to me?...it isn't wasn't laid out that simply, its immediate need, its future need, its depth at various positions in the draft. Its function of all three, they seem to make it clear this was more a "best player available" pick, they were not particularly concerned with filling an immediate need.

Zurlein has us taking Cleveland and Davis today. If they do that..all is forgiven

when it comes to "best player available", i think there is an "intangibles" aspect to it. They like the guy, team leader or whatever you want to call it. He might not be filling an actual need for a starter currently, but they want him on the team

BS. If it was such a great pick at 27 why was he trying to trade down?
