I don't get it, LV had better options to explore

Happy poodle time!

Interesting idea:

- Seahawks trade Geno to the Raiders for a 3rd
- Seahawks trade pick #18 and DK Metcalf to the Pats for pick #4
- Seahawks trade pick #4, their own 2nd rounder, the Raiders 3rd rounder, and their 2026 1st rounder to the Titans for pick #1
- Seahawks draft Cam Ward

Geno with Sanders as developing backup

 

[Boomer B]

Pete Carrol must like him cause he knows his system. Likely a few year stop gap until they get their QB of the future.

I'm going to need more than that to go to 18

I don’t love the value either but I could see it happening

If Pats traded 4 for 18/Metcalf I’m flying to Boston and protesting outside Gillette Stadium.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Seattle makes a play for Darnold?

Metkalf is not worth that much

Nope, fire Vrabel if that happens.

 

[Ross12]

Metkalf is not worth that much

It’s equivalent value of a 2nd, which I could see Metcalf going for. If he doesn’t then obviously I’m wrong. Throw in more picks if you want, that wasn’t the point of the exercise anyway

 

[lancerman]

Well that takes off one of the potential Sanders trades imo if we did want to trade down.

 

[Huckleberry1]

You just can’t keep Sam Howell down.

I hate this idea as much as the George Pickens idea. I would rather see them take Tyler Warren at 4.

I'd want the Seahawks 2nd or 3rd Round Pick in addition to #18 and Metcalf. Or at the very least, their 2nd Round Pick in next years Draft if they won't do a 2nd or 3rd Round Pick in this Draft. But I like the overall idea.

 

[stinkypete]

A move from #18 to #4 is worth two 2nds in both the Rich Hill and Jimmy Johnson models. Seattle would need to send back a day two pick.

 

[Pacific Coast Patriot]

There are some QB's that you're just never going to win a SB with. Geno is one of those. Darnold and Brock Purdy are others.

They just don't have "it". That swagger. Drake's rookie year was good but not perfect, but he definitely has that swagger about him.

I just realised LV traded for him because of Pete Carroll - they will be stuck in mediocrity until both of them are gone. Perhaps they will still be after Sanders and want Geno as a mentor?

That doesn't take into account a "tax" which could lead to another 1st. And maybe a 3rd as well.
