    ANYTHING GOES THIS YEAR !!
    Trade up could happen...but the track record shows they may not...Like the Video said I could see them packaging some of the lower round picks to move up to 4th or 5th round range..Also dont rule out the Player trade possibilities. JS and PC have shown they know what they are doing talent wise...We are a championship caliber team Today, so the best scenario may be to not shake that up to much.. I see us being really active for 1 or 2 guys in FA Like a GOOD DT or WR if available and fits the system and then adding more of the same Draft wise...Then again there is the "Flynn" factor. Not saying trade him , but an offer of a High end Draft pick could shake him lose. Jax and KC both Need QB's and have the top 2 picks in each round..Snagging a High 3rd or top of 2nd may shake him lose and add another premium pick for the hawks..Im not saying Trade Flynn, But we wont know until Draft day on that one im guessing.ANYTHING GOES THIS YEAR,Draft day will be fun. IN PETE AND JOHN WE TRUST!!!! GO HAWKS

    Draft and free agents
    With Pete's recent comments I hope his focus is at least partially on pass protection.

    I agree, don't do it
    This team was built on the draft and keeping lots of picks and it will only continue to be good if they continue to approach it in the same way. The risk is just too high to bundle a ton of picks to get one guy. Small moves here and there sure but not a big move. Perhaps you can do something to parlay Flynn into a pass rusher or a draft pick to play with. That is where they should focus. Take the picks you got for Curry and Jackson with a pick you get for Flynn and make a move. That is as bold as I would want them to get.

    Package Flynn
    I would be in seahawk off season heaven if we could and that's a big could trade Flynn and a first maybe a third or fourth also to get that big d tackle from Utah. He's a beast weighing in at 330 and can get to the qb. Just imagine big red and big star lined up together. Not to mention Bruce, mebane, and hopefully a healthy Clemons. Would be best d line, and secondary in the league hands down.

    Trade Up
    Trade the 25th pick overall and Matt Flynn to the Bills for the #8 pick or same deal to the Jets for the #9 pick, either pick should be high enough to get Missouri DT Sheldon Richardson 6'4"295 lbs and the fastest D-Lineman in the draft. Move Red Bryant inside to the DT position and Put Richardson in Reds old spot as LDE. Perfect player in the perfect spot.Stick Irvin in LeRoy Hills OLB spot on passing downs and pray like hell Clemons can come back from his ACL injury at age 32 and still be able to bring the heat. I Think both the Jets and the Bills would be motivated to take part in a trade like this as they are both looking for a QB in a draft where the QB position is weak and with a scenario like this they would get a QB and still have a 1st round pick.

    We are so close....
    as we sit today, to being a Championship team... we have the QB, we have the RB... I think we pretty much have the TE we want we just finally started utilizing him... and we could grab another one to bring up... I am starting to feel like we have the WR corps even though i do believe we should add to it... on Defense we were the best in the NFL in points allowed, our secondary is Amazing... the concern on Defense is obviously the D-line... I think Mebane is set, i think we might move Red inside.. i'd grab a couple more D-linemen and focus on that line... We're right there... 2 points from playing the 9ers in the NFC title game... with a very young team... I think if we can upgrade the DE spot, get some depth on both lines and maybe a couple playmakers on offense to make us even more fierce... the seasoning is there now, we got a team that's been close... Now all these amazing rookies will be playoff tested players that know what it takes to get to the post season and deep in it... If we can maintain and improve in some areas, we will be a Superbowl contender in the next 3-4 years... our roster is so young... I'm very excited to see our next few years...

    Seahawks are Growing in Leaps and Bounds.
    One Question only what do they need. They Need a High caliber back up for Big Clem. I hope they can find some good back up plug them in and watch them go type players in the right spots. Just to rest the top players. More energy at another level would be well rested players. IMHO

    3 Tech
    Forget DE. Our Hawks actually need to fill THE toughest position for any 4-3 defense, the 3 Tech. A great 3-tech is the rarest of birds. One who can rush the passer inside, collapse the pocket & move the QB back into the path of the outside rushers. This has to be the #1 defensive position of need. 3 guys best fit the profile & depending on how the front office sees the draft falling, they should either trade up (Sheldon Richardson!) or stick (Sharrif Floyd!?) or trade down (Datone Jones??). Check out the below great website where it's been highlighted & debated for sometime now: http://seahawksdraftblog.com/ Brock & Salk You Rock. Lovin the show.
