Thibodeaux ‘a serious trade target’?

2 Comments

With the draft now less than two weeks away, it is pretty clear the Seahawks are trying to figure out how to add a pass rusher who can get the “quick wins” Mike Macdonald wants.

They have brought in several guys for VMAC visits – led by speed rushers Cashius Howell and Malachi Lawrence.

But they also have been looking at all of the top cornerbacks who will be available in their draft zone. They might choose to take one of those first.

In some ways, it is 2010 all over again for Pete Carroll and John Schneider.

They have a top-10 pick for the first time since that inaugural year – and they need similar positions: a new QB, a left tackle and some defenders to fit a new scheme.

One thing they don’t have that they had in 2010: a second first-round pick to help hasten their franchise rebuild. But that may be coming, too.

We’ll get to the DK Metcalf trade options in a minute. First, let’s revisit a little history to see how Carroll and Schneider might approach this draft as they build the roster again.
