    Triplet rankings.

    Things look bleak in Seattle. Geno Smith? That’s sad.

    Time to lose out to get a top QB next year?


    31. Seattle Seahawks (Avg: 30.2, High: 21, Low: 32)


    QB: Geno Smith RB: Rashaad Penny WR: DK Metcalf

    Seattle's range of rankings was far wider than I expected, though I suppose that is likely owed to Penny's monster stretch run and the track record Metcalf established with Russell Wilson under center. Still, it looks like Geno Smith is going to be this team's starting quarterback, so it's no surprise that they land in the bottom tier.
    Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
    The Wasted Decade is done.

      Ouch. I'm very glad to not be a Seahawks fan. Hard times are coming there.

      As frustrating as being a Charger fan can be (very) It has to be said that we are unbelievable fortunate to be able to transition from Rivers to Herbert, with a minor hiccup named Tyrod Taylor in between.

        Seattle will surprise many if they execute a solid ground and pound game with two star running backs. They've added oline talent and another top tier running back with Ken Walker. They are not the Jacksonville Jaguars.

            Not likely, the league doesn't encourage it.

            But.....
            #1 D - allow avg 15 ppg or less
            #1 takeaway differential
            #1 TOP

            You could scare the shit outta some people.

              We'll see. The problem isn't their running attack - it's that they ONLY have a running attack, their passing game isn't going to scare anyone. Defenses will load up to stop the run. I don't see them winning more than 5 or 6 games next year.

                Plus - 2 star running backs won’t make an offense twice as dangerous as 1 star running back. What, are they going to run the Option? Thats not how the math works in NFL pro sets

                  LT and the Chargers were pretty effective as well as the Tennessee Titans and Derrick Henry. I've got my Popcorn ready and never under estimate Pete Carol.

                    If they can stay healthy, Seattle has a good RB stable. Penny and Carson are hurt a lot though. Walker should help there.

                      I might have missed this since I've cut back since the draft ended but just read that Melvin Gordon signed a one year deal with the Broncos a month ago for only 2.5 mil with incentives to make it 4 mil.

                        Pete Carroll needs to lay down and play for a top 2 draft pick. That’s how you improve in this league, get a top QB prospect. Sorry if that’s blasphemy, but it’s the truth. Get bad so you can get good. Mediocrity leads to mediocrity.

                          Just ask Vic Fangio, you can have a complete roster but without a solid trigger man, you're winning 9 games max yearly.
