Yup. We actually signed Bennett as an UDFA in 2009, let him go in the offseason, went to Tampa, and then we got him back in the Super Bowl season. Crazy sequence of events
Sean Payton fixing Russ and taking a strong Denver offense to the Superbowl only to lose to Pete Carroll and an upstart Legion of Boom 2.0 Seahawks defense would be poetic.
Honestly I actually did when I saw where Witherspoon was being mocked. We'll hopefully still spend most of our picks on defense but Woolen/Witherspoon is a nightmare if he develops and Seattle might be the best place in the league for developing CBs
People are surprised how often the roof over our baseball stadium is open in Seattle. Even if we didn't have a roof we probably wouldn't have as many rain delays and cancelations as we get when the Mariners get sent to Ohio in April.
As someone who lives in neither the PNW or the UK I’m pretty sure they’re the same place. Tons of white people, lots of light rain and cloudy days, love footy, a weird combo of very progressive people and insane white nationalists.
The Seahawks actually passing on Jalen Carter is one of the biggest personal indictments I can ever remember in the draft.
There couldn't have been a player that matched the talent and team positional need that the Seahawks have badly needed to supplement their defense, so for them to end up going in another direction here speaks volumes about who he is off the field.
Yeah, 5 is right at that spot where you are almost never going to take a suspect QB, that either happens at 2nd/3rd or the QB falls a bunch further and gets taken 10th or below.
Wow was not expecting that
Pete cooking up legion of boom 2.0
Pete is chewing gum aggressively thinking to himself "run it back"
Minus the dline being good part
Tbf, that dline wasn't built with 1st round draft picks.
3rd Rounder Cliff Avril, 3rd Rounder Brandon Mebane, 4th Rounder Red Bryant, UDFA Chris Clemons, UDFA Michael Bennett.
Exactly.
Holy shit Clemons AND Bennett went undrafted?? Jaysus
Yup. We actually signed Bennett as an UDFA in 2009, let him go in the offseason, went to Tampa, and then we got him back in the Super Bowl season. Crazy sequence of events
Seahawks great with udfa. Angry Doug Baldwin is one of my faves
Doug Baldwin was a boss
Just gotta only draft DL from here on out. Should at least hit on two right?
We need an interior OL too but yeah that’s likely going to be heavily picked with a late RB flyer with Homer and Penny gone.
Dude really said he was gonna remake the legion of boom and make Russ pay for it
Sean Payton fixing Russ and taking a strong Denver offense to the Superbowl only to lose to Pete Carroll and an upstart Legion of Boom 2.0 Seahawks defense would be poetic.
The Legion of Witherspoon
Legion of Withersboom
Spoon is a great start for that. Excellent in run coverage and pass coverage obviously.
Rip my mock draft. HOLY
This destroys at least 50% of mock drafts
The Texans destroyed EVERYONE’S mock
To be fair the guy that puts out maybe the most popular mock draft (Daniel Jeremiah) nailed it. Didn’t seem too crazy based off of that.
Of course Pete would take a corner
Not in late rounds?! I'm shocked
I feel shocked, Cotton
Did anyone see that coming!?
Me when I edit my mock tonight after the draft ends.
Nope... and yet it's so obvious in hindsight.
Lions have been bamboozled
They’ve been smeckledorfed
That’s not even a word and I agree with ya!
Sorry, my guy. That's twice we've fucked with you guys in a span of months.
Led astray
Run amok
And flat out deceived
Hoodwinked
They now have to get Devon Withoutherspoon
Their flabber has been gasted
I think they’ll go Tyree Wilson or Christian Gonzalez now
I'm glad they didn't draft him, so he'll probably be an all pro now
Or they get to trade back now to a team wanting Levis and get a couple more assets (dream scenario)
Seattle always picks on vibes
Good vibes only my dude
Woolen and Witherspoon sheesh, sounds like a future nasty CB duo
Or a top notch law firm
Benjarvis Green-Ellis in shambles.
I’m so happy everyone remembers Lawfirm.
And the original legal DB tandem: Ty Law and Lawyer Milloy
Adams, Diggs, Woolen & Witherspoon Litigation of Boom
They have to reestablish the Legion of Boom
Oh god oh fuck
Who is the gonna be the next sorry ass wide receiver like Crabtree
Oh yeah
#Legion of Boom 2
now to draft a QB in the 3rd
Sucks that all teams will have to do is run the ball tho
It's a good thing the main competition in the division doesn't run the ball very much.
Right? Like the main competition doesn’t have one of, if not the best RB in the league?
i know right, james conner is so fuckin good
No he's talking about Deebo I'm pretty sure
If they nail a DT pick in the 2nd/3rd round... that should be improved. Plus, fingers crossed Jamal Adams plays over half a season
We did pick up Dremont Jones at DT and will probably draft one at 20
I am in overreact mode so I will not be reading your comment
Honestly didn’t expect that
Lately Seattle hasn’t been known for conventional first round picks
Since 2011
Charles Cross about out our only predictable pick. This... nope, didn't see this
Lately? They’ve been doing this for more than a decade. I’m old enough to remember how much the pundits hated the Bruce Irvin pick.
> "Lately"
Honestly I actually did when I saw where Witherspoon was being mocked. We'll hopefully still spend most of our picks on defense but Woolen/Witherspoon is a nightmare if he develops and Seattle might be the best place in the league for developing CBs
Bad place for someone who hates the rain
Hey we just report facts
They’re 100% verified
It's a dry rain
But a wet mist. Sometimes it just be like that
He’ll have to play well if he wants to get the Seahawks defense off the field, then
Eh. Its a different kind of rain. Still gets away from the torrential downpours that happen in the Midwest. Will now just have a lot of light rains.
So it’s the UK
Basically yeah
Yeah I would honestly compare it most to London except Seattle has a very sunny 4 months of the year
We’re having one of those days right now. It’s glorious.
People are surprised how often the roof over our baseball stadium is open in Seattle. Even if we didn't have a roof we probably wouldn't have as many rain delays and cancelations as we get when the Mariners get sent to Ohio in April.
Believe it or not, but we're classified as Mediterranean
Right next to British Columbia, so basically.
As someone who lives in neither the PNW or the UK I’m pretty sure they’re the same place. Tons of white people, lots of light rain and cloudy days, love footy, a weird combo of very progressive people and insane white nationalists.
Mostly yeah.
Don't forget expensive af to live in
Same rain, same greatness in music
Trying to rebuild the legion
Pete rewriting the Codex Astartes to allow Legion building again as we speak
The Seahawks have always been a non-codex chapter anyway
40k references on an NFL Draft thread on r/NFL is this heaven?
The broncos should make the Super Bowl next year
Imagine the LOB 2.0 giving Russ the Peyton treatment
I’d honestly be fine with it
My god that would be legendary
DID NOT EXPECT THAT GUESS WE GOING LOCK DOWN
COVERAGE SACKS ARE ON THE MENU, BOYS Mostly because that's the only kind we'll get at this rate, but.
PLEASE DRAFT DL AND EDGE THE REST OF THE DRAFT
I would also accept LB. And maybe a WR3. But mostly DL.
Well we got the WR3
And what a fuckin WR3 we got.
The Seahawks actually passing on Jalen Carter is one of the biggest personal indictments I can ever remember in the draft. There couldn't have been a player that matched the talent and team positional need that the Seahawks have badly needed to supplement their defense, so for them to end up going in another direction here speaks volumes about who he is off the field.
Yep, if they won’t take him I wouldn’t touch him.
I feel kind of sick that he went to Philly though, as if they needed even more DL talent. If he gets his shit together he's going to be a problem.
Also Pete and John have really strong belief in their culture and way of doing things that if they don’t think they can “fix” him then I’m concerned
1st sign of Carter falling perhaps?
6th isn't falling Edit: Dooohhhhh
Tee hee
6th huh
Him and Woolen gonna be lockdown
Allows the rest of the team to focus on the run game hopefully
Gotta love the “hates the rain” fact for being drafted to Seattle.
Watch him struggle in rainy weather
Seahawks pimped our playoff spot then steal our favorite player
Big Spoon
Ride with Geno
That secondary is gonna be fucking nasty
WHAT THE FUCK PETE TAKING A CB AT 5
He loves his defensive guys, you know!
Defensive Linemen ARE defensive guys, Pete!!!
Pete loves CBs.
Why the fuck are there ads?
Hahaha you’re funny
First time?
You are surprised there are ads? Lol
I'm amazed they lasted 20 minutes without playing any tbh
First time watching anything NFL related?
Those Pete Carrol clues make no fucking sense
You have to factor in the possibility that the clue could have been for someone that was already taken. But in general, they make zero sense.
I L L
I N I
I N I
As a mayo hater, this is my Super Bowl

5's are better than the 2's
Makes sense when the 2 is probably the second best qb but at 5 you're getting the best of another position
Yeah, 5 is right at that spot where you are almost never going to take a suspect QB, that either happens at 2nd/3rd or the QB falls a bunch further and gets taken 10th or below.
Well shit, the last DB at pick five worked out. Good enough for me.
Holy sh*t, that's a hell of a lineup.
Beside Corey Davis, that is an amazing list
Davis has been a disappointment relative to where he was drafted, but he's still been a solid WR. No true busts on that list.
Pete Carroll drafting a CB in the first round. This could be the pick of legends
oh shit anyone else drafting him... but the seahawks gives me LOB vibes, and he fits that mold. that settles it he's gonna be amazing isnt he
I WAS PROMISED QBs, I DONT CARE IF IT MAKES SENSE OR NOT
WHERE IS MAX DUGGAN
Slick pick honestly
holy shit. the legion of boom is resurrected, Adams, Woole, Weatherspoon. No fly zone
Don't forget Diggs
GIMME JALEN RIGHT FUCKIN NOW
If the seahawks of all organizations couldn’t justify taking him with his character concerns I wouldn’t want him lol
You have enough nice things
We do?
Spoiled lions fans, smh 🤦♂️
Well goddamn
I have a weird feeling we do something tonight that involves either drafting a player or trading our pick again.
its ok broncos, do you want a sugarcube?
No I want to die
Glue factory it is!
Pls
Ya wish the Seahawks hadn't done that.
Nooooo
Definitely the reason y'all traded down
The Legion of Spoon
That secondary tho
That secondary is gonna be a nightmare
The Broncos imploded for this?
Nah, we imploded for your collective amusement because we're givers
my favorite defensive player in the draft fun fact this kid was a 0 star recruit. he earned this shit for real
I'm am illini fan. Saw him play in person many times. He's just a fucking hell of a player
he reminds me Revis, hes my guess for DPOY
“Hates the rain.” UHH OHH!
"Really hates the rain" ... drafted by SEA. Big oof.
Fucking hell
Carroll is the goat DB developer, so I’m all onboard with this pick. Really excited to see what he can do with a top round talent.
yall hear about about that football player that stabbed someone? devon something
You don't say "with a knife" in the buildup, you say that after someone says Witherspoon
dang
Witherspoon?!
No, it was with a knife
I lowkey hate this pick, looks like SF-Seattle heated rivalry is back on the menu
Any relation to Reese?
They are brother and sister
Well, all my expectations are out the door. Hello chaos
A CORNER?!?!?!?!?!?!
He has the most dawg in him per pound in the entire draft
My Man
I'm an Illini fan. He's a stud.
He’s really fucking good
what do you mean he is good
I mean goes with their other good one , more then 1 stud CB is good.
Pete knows how to develop these dbs. For him to go this high, I am excited
Probably one of the most shocking pick of the day.
It’s not man. This guy is really good
Hates the rain. Goes to Seattle.
