Do Hawks want a QB, or just baiting again?

Leave a comment

NFL draftIt sounds like the Seahawks are indeed in full QB dangle mode.

A couple of reports indicate (1) they were interested in Patrick Mahomes in the first round and (2) they are considering drafting a quarterback today.

The Mahomes report seems far-fetched. The Seahawks have used QBs as bait in two of the past three drafts, so this probably was more of that — just a way to create more interest in the 26th pick (the Chiefs ended up jumping from 27 to 10 to take Mahomes).

It is entirely possible that the Hawks want to take a QB today, but this scuttlebutt is surely a way to engender interest in the 34th overall pick and get some team to come up for Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer (if the Packers don’t pick or trade out for him) or perhaps Cal’s Davis Webb.

Draft day: Hawk eyes on Lamp & Bolles?

Leave a comment

NFL draftThe NFL’s Christmas Day has arrived. And it looks like the Seahawks are hoping to find one of two offensive linemen under their tree.

Some well-informed mock drafts are giving the Seahawks an offensive lineman at No. 26, either Western Kentucky’s Forrest Lamp or Utah’s Garett Bolles.

The first round figures to include four O-linemen, with as many as seven teams eyeing them. Seattle’s competition includes Baltimore (pick 16) and almost all of the teams in the 20s directly ahead of Seattle — Denver (20), Miami (22), New York Giants (23), Oakland (24), Houston (25).

Schneider already talking trade down

NFL draftIt looks like John Schneider is indeed poised to make his usual move down in the first round — apparently for an offensive lineman — but don’t expect any deal to be made until the Seahawks are on the clock Thursday.

The Falcons want to jump over a few teams for a pass rusher, per draft insider Tony Pauline. But they likely will want to make sure their guy is there when the draft hits pick No. 26.

The Seahawks, meanwhile, surely want to dangle the pick for as long as possible to get the best deal. The current talks involve Atlanta’s fourth-round pick, per Pauline — but that would be a poor return for Seattle.
