Re: 2025 Draft thread
It looks like Tory Horton could have the biggest impact of all the guys taken on day three.
Rylie Mills (DT) might have to redshirt because of an ACL. Which is partly why I didn't love the pick.
But Ricky White could be a standout on Special Teams. Along with the Fullback they took.
I love Martinez. But he's currently 4th on the depth chart. Unless they cut McIntosh.
Rylie Mills (DT) might have to redshirt because of an ACL. Which is partly why I didn't love the pick.

I still like McIntosh and even Haloni a lot, but that's an area I'm cool with keep an extra player on and I'm sure practice and preseason will sort some ish out on who is worthy.

Re: 2025 Draft thread
I liked Waxter in the 7th and Zy Alexander was a 2nd or 3rd round pick in the Mock Sims I ran over a hundred of. I guess his combine numbers weren't great but 6'2" and a "nasty tackler despite being underweight"

Re: 2025 Draft thread
My thoughts on the class:
(1) Zabel- Love it! I thought they might go in a different direction. But it obviously fills a gigantic need. Grade: A
(2) Emmanwori- I thought he was closer to a 2nd Round talent. So, the value is much better than had they taken him in Round one. Thus, I can't really complain. I also trust Mike when it comes to evaluating players like him. Grade: A
(2) Arroyo- The upside with him is off the charts. I thought there we're 4 top end TE prospects in this class. Arroyo was one of them. The value & potential was just too good to pass up imo. Grade: A
(3) Milroe- I think you know my opinion of him by now lol. He has some special traits. But is still so raw as a passer that it's a massive gamble. Albeit in the 3rd Round. I would've taken someone like a Jared Wilson in this spot, to further solidify the line. But they went in a different direction. Still, there obviously is upside. Grade: B
(5) Mills- Originally, this pick kind of caught me off guard. But I've warmed up to it. A player that could be really productive for them down the line. Not bad value either in the 5th Round. Grade: B
(5) Horton- Potential steal? Another pick with upside. He could realistically be your 3rd or 4th receiver at some point. Really not much to dislike about this pick. Grade: A
(5) Ouzts- Seems early to take a Fullback. Grade: C
(6) Cabeldue- Another Guard? Sign me up!!! Grade: B+
(7) Martinez- Yeah, love the player. Even better value. Grade: A+
(7) Richman- An OT prospect from a school (Iowa) that is known for developing good lineman. Grade: B
(7) White- A productive receiver in college (UNLV) & a Special Teams standout. Grade: B

Re: 2025 Draft thread
Damn...Kiper gave them an A grade!!
Only team to get a higher grade was Cleveland (Shedeur)
Only team to get a higher grade was Cleveland (Shedeur)

Seattle made one of the biggest roster changes of the offseason, swapping out quarterback Geno Smith for Sam Darnold. But is it actually better because of the decision? I'm not so sure. If Darnold is better than Smith, it's only by a small amount. Yes, this is a team coming off a 10-7 season, but it has major holes, including at wide receiver, where DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are out and Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are in.
The good thing? General manager John Schneider had the capital entering this draft to add quality starters and solid depth. With three picks in the first two rounds -- Nos. 18, 50 and 52 -- he had a chance to come away with multiple starters.
I'm a big fan of how Schneider approached every day of the draft, but especially the first two. Grey Zabel will be an instant starter at guard. Nick Emmanwori is one of the best athletes in this class, and he should help solidify the defensive backfield. The Seahawks traded up to get him, but he's a great fit and it was a value on my board. Elijah Arroyo is my third-ranked tight end -- they got him at No. 50. Quarterback Jalen Milroe isn't ready to start, but he has unbelievable traits and could help the running game in 2025. I thought he had a chance to go at the top of Round 2. Seattle did a stellar job addressing holes but also looking to the future.
Damien Martinez is a Day 3 player to watch. Last season, he averaged 4.5 yards after contact per rush, which ranked fourth in the FBS. I wouldn't be surprised if he found a role as a rookie. I'm a fan of the versatile Rylie Mills, who can play in any defense. He had 7.5 sacks when lined up as a defensive tackle last season and is powerful at the point of attack. Wideout Ricky White III and offensive tackle Mason Richman are good players.
All in all, Schneider had a tremendous weekend, improving his roster in several areas. This class gets high marks.
