As a Gopher alum i would love the pick. Great hands and attitude plus he blocks.

Jason Witten? i can go there but witten never had this kids athletic ability.

3rd? sorry second round, if he is there at 45 and TE is your target you need to take him then.

Yeah,the media jumping all over the Saints for the deal as Graham is the highlights player. Fair trade all round. both team should be happy as long as the players stay fit

Dont shoot me,i know its Sanders BUT

Deion Sanders ‏@DeionSanders 19m19 minutes ago
For the Saints to let Jimmy Graham go being 1 of the best TE's in the game they know something we don't. #Truth

And im sure the same thing will be said by Seahawks insiders.front office.

Because he was an All-Pro tight end. The contract last year wasn't signed with the expectation that he would be traded a year later. It was signed with the expectation that he would be a healthy All-Pro game changer for the length of the contract. 2014 simply did not turn out that way.

They better come up with something big to make up for this loss and let's hope we don't have to play Jimmy & the Hawks in the playoffs.

Let me correct that for you:

They better come up with something big on the defensive side of the ball...

No matter how much one likes fantasy the math hasn't changed:

Top 10 offense in points and yards
Bottom 5 defense.

Imagine if we signed Browner, tramon Williams and Mason foster!

I hope we hear news about Foster soon.

[QUOTE=The Dude;643740]Yea how does any of this help our defense?[/QUOT

Two 1st round picks could help a bunch...

Ok, Josh Hill is not Jimmy Graham. Unger, we now have a center. Seahags 1st round pick. i don't know. Why all this hate on Jimmy? he was hurt last year. Did i miss something?

Seahawks12th · 03-10-2015, 07:28 PM

Bruce Irvin still wants to fight Jimmy Graham... Oh God!!!

I dont think its hate,more than the normal people looking on the bright side of the deal. I think the concern are there that Jimmy wont have a long career with the new tackl rules and players taking out his legs. If your in Seattle you are saying we got rid of close to a second rounder and a centre that is starting to break down for a probowl TE.Its natural we did good
