The Vibe on April 24th at noon PDT: I think there is one very specific scenario in which the Seahawks would trade up. I’m not mocking that but if Jayden Daniels were available at #3 I think John Schneider would at least make some phone calls. This coaching staff is about match-up & confusion. The expectation is that the next guy gives defenses the nightmare … Continue reading 2024 NFL Draft Mock – Final

The Senior Bowl and Shrine Games were entertaining as usual despite some key prospects sitting out. Call it business decisions. No problem, but a missed opportunity nonetheless considering they wouldn’t have been at the All Star Games at all if their agents didn’t know they needed a bump in their stock. After receiving votes for Team Captain, Michael Penix Jr big-timed the assembled NFL scouting … Continue reading 2024 NFL Draft Big Board- Final

Alert! This is NOT a drill! There’s just one month to go until the 2023 NFL Draft. I could not be more excited about the potential for Seahawks to put together another monster draft. But draft season is inexorably also smoke screen season. Believe little of what you see and even LESS of what you hear. Let’s explore this calmly, logically and back-tested, like any … Continue reading Smoke Screen Season – Seahawks Draft

Seeking Seahawks Draft Strategy There’s so much hype surrounding the NFL Draft these days it’s grown into an incredibly lucrative industry that carries us through what used to be the off-season. We’ve now recognized there is no off-season anymore, and in fact, I enjoy many elements of the NFL Draft as much, if not more, than many stretches of the regular season itself. I recall … Continue reading Defining John Schneider
Well well well. We made it through the 2023 season and ONCE AGAIN as expected, the San Francisco 49ers shit then fell in it. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of assholes. Luckily, they went “win-now” and have no cap space or draft assets for the foreseeable future. Some trends developing coming out of the NFL Combine this past weekend. Remember that the Combine is … Continue reading 2024 NFL Draft Mock
Welcome back to another edition of “Kick Me In The Dick For Clicks”. We’re going to continue to expand on the ideas shared via the socials and the blog to get an updated take on the NFL Draft. What we know so far: Carolina moved up to #1 overall with a very clear idea in mind of what they wanted to do. That’s the luxury … Continue reading 2023 Mock Draft 3.0
The NFL Combine was once again highly entertaining. The thing to remember about the Combine is that it’s about medicals and character evaluations primarily. It’s also an opportunity to back channel collude among front offices and player reps. There is no small outcry in this regard, as it seems pretty clear that the Baltimore Ravens spent the week discussing how the league could show some … Continue reading 2023 NFL Rookie Draft Big Board
Well well well. We made it through the 2022 season and as expected, the San Francisco 49ers shit then fell in it. Couldn’t happen to a better bunch of assholes. Luckily, they went “win-now” and have no cap space or draft assets for the foreseeable future. Some trends developing headed to the NFL Combine in March. Remember that the Combine is a fun media exercise … Continue reading 2023 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
OK 12s threw together my NFL Draft mock 1.0 You’re sure to hate it. First, The Rules: AV is everything. This is a marketplace. 95% of players are fungible. Defining need: The SCHEME is the need. Clubs think of it differently than fans. First Round: I believe Indy is the most likely to jump up to 1ovr for their QB. The front ofgice/HC connections are … Continue reading 2023 NFL Draft Mock
Lets start the mock! But first, some thoughts… This’ an unprecedented draft so there’s bound to be surprises. Very few interactions upon which to consult the group think & build typical consensus, especially among the traditional “Insiders”. There’ll be several WTF moments, particularly Day1. I believe these’ll include several droppers & risers. You’ll see more risk management than usual due to a lack of pre-draft, … Continue reading Hawk’s Nest 2020 NFL Mock Draft!
I’ve been struggling with the timing of this piece because it’s notoriously difficult to make solid declarations about who and what a team is without a reliable sample size. Just ask the Seattle Mariners. I don’t believe that you can simply extrapolate anything meaningful from the complete tenure of a Head Coach like Pete Carroll either. You need to judge the beef on the hoof. … Continue reading A Way Too Early Mid-Season Review
