Within the newest HawksZone Rundown dwell present, hosts Bryce Coutts and Ryan MacMillan analyzed the Seattle Seahawks’ offseason strikes and engaged in a few mock drafts simulations! They mentioned key signings, together with Sam Darnold’s $100.5 million deal, which they noticed as a daring QB reset with youth and upside. In addition they examined Cooper Kupp’s $45 million contract, praising his return however expressing issues over his harm historical past and match with Jaxon Smith-Njigba. DeMarcus Lawrence’s $42 million deal was met with blended opinions on account of his age and up to date harm.
The hosts then critiqued Ben Solak’s ESPN article, which ranked the Seahawks thirty first in free company strikes. Bryce and Ryan disagreed with this evaluation, defending Darnold’s potential and Seattle’s defensive re-signings, regardless of issues over the offensive line. They felt the thirty first rating was too harsh for a workforce retooling with goal.
We determined two is healthier than one and ended up doing two completely different mock drafts: one with a quarterback and one with out a quarterback. Did we go for the trenches early or shake issues up? Within the first mock, we went with protection by including Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams.
Bryce on selecting Mykel Williams at No. 18: “I like his sport and I feel he’s probably just a little bit underrated proper now as a result of he had a foul mix. He didn’t have the best season—he had some accidents this previous season—if he had come out final 12 months, I’m fairly positive he would’ve been a high 10 decide.
Ryan on selecting Mykel: “You need to preserve bringing in these edge gamers. I feel this id goes to turn into Mike Macdonald and his protection. There’s no query that if a participant like that’s right here, there may be some severe considered going to the rostrum.”
What concerning the offensive line? That will get addressed within the second spherical.
Bryce on Donovan Jackson: “I like Donovan Jackson. He can transfer inside, he’s a left guard who bounced outdoors final 12 months for Ohio State when Josh Simmons obtained injured and did an outstanding job.
“There’s three guys right here that I actually like: Donovan Jackson, [Marcus] Mbow, and [Jonah Savaiinaea]. And Savaiinaea has publicly come out and stated he desires to play guard on the subsequent stage. These three guys I feel you will get on this vary, and also you’re instantly including a man that may probably be a beginning guard on day one. You usher in Donovan Jackson, he’s most likely going to be certainly one of your beginning guards.”
In the meantime, followers have been buzzing concerning the concept of Gray Zabel in a Seahawks uniform from North Dakota State if he was obtainable at 18. In our second mock he was, however did we follow the group or shock everybody with a curveball?
