why is this entire board SO PRESSED on signing a old WR, or a average at best WR in FA, because that will somehow make it a smart move for us to ignore WR in the draft? this is the best WR draft there has been in years, there is a ton of talent in the first 2 rounds, why ignore that to draft an incredibly weak position like safety, when safety is clearly the smarter position to address in free agency? i dont see the logic, at all, steve smith in no way, shape or form, would make us "set" at WR, he is a 1-2 year stop gap and we need a reliable, well rounded WR of the future instead of all these short term plugs and roleplaying "weapons" we have. im all for signing smith, but i dont want to sign the guy because that makes ozzie say "ok now lets ignore the best position in this entire draft to fill our other holes" . if we get a stop gap free agent, obviuously safety and center would be the positions, not WR.

Are we reading the same board? From what I see most people are content with Steve Smith signing plus 2nd round WR in a draft.

"Steve Smith told WFNZ on playing against the Panthers this year: 'Put your goggles on cause there's going to be blood and guts everywhere.'" (source: Aaron Wilson on twitter)

 

So, he knows he's gonna play v. the Panthers next season? Sounds like he already had an idea where he would play next... doesn't it?

Nah, I listened to that interview - it was a joke.

Yeah that's one of the concerns that I had. He's likely only going to play for us one or two years. It'd be a shame that we didn't take a receiver in one of the deepest drafts in a while just because we got Steve Smith as a stop gap.

 

I do think we still take a weapon early though but it will probably be a TE instead of a WR. 

Haven't we signed our own TE weapon? We'll get TE who can block. And we'll draft WR no later than 2nd unless top prospect wideout drops to where we pick.

With a definite shortage of FA safeties (and it's only day 2!) and likelihood of getting both McClains back, Corey Graham is quickly becoming way more important to re-sign than Daryl Smith. It's now also questionable whether we'll have room to sign both.

Hah, "waiting for the frenzy to die down".

More like waiting on Browns to spend their dough. Come on Cleveland, Revis Island is still waiting!

Yes, but any receiver we get is coming in as a slot type WR to make tough. Think of it this way... they want to find a younger Boldin.

So if Boldin was on the team in 2013, what percentage of the time do you think Marlon Brown would have been on the field? Its entirely conceivable that he would have been a gameday inactive for the majority of the season.

I agree that everybody plays a role, which is why I identified Brown as a "role player". His role will be situational, and in particular, probably as a depth player with upside in the red zone.

That's not the kind of description you give to a #2 WR. That's the kind of description you give to a #3 or 4 WR.

You are probably correct re 2013 if Q stayed with us. But for next season, I don't think your assessment of Brown is accurate - he'll be way better than you think. All of our receivers will if everybody stays healthy.

I can get down with that. Means we'd probably target a tackle in Round 1 then. If we lock Monroe up we'll probably draft a WR instead. So would you rather have:

 

-Monroe + 1st round WR/Safety

 

or 

 

-Alex Mack + 1st round Tackle

If the first round tackle is Robinson or Matthews, I'd be tempted. But that's impossible.

let Monroe go and hopefully get a 3rd rounder. Trade webby and a 3rd rounder for a 4th or 5th and unload webb's 10 million cap hit. Get Revis, Mack, and Steve Smith. Draft a tackle in the first, and wr in the 2nd. Get D Smith back if there's any money left. THIS WOULD BE EPIC. It would not only = another Lombardi, but straight dominance also. Revis and J Smith manning the corners...um.. yes please

lmao

...let me read that again.... nope, you sound serious, it's not a joke

The next important question needed to be answered is who does Seattle play in the Thursday Night Opener to kick off the 2014 Season?

That would depend on Mariners' schedule I suppose

Who else is getting the MVP, though? The whole Seahawks defense? An ironic SB MVP for Mannings playoff jitters?

To make it fair, someone from defense should get it. But Percy will have a vote.

I'm so enjoying this, I'm almost speechless.

I hope Lynch runs all over them and wins it for Seattle.

I love this play call

"Evil" is pure waste of a perfectly good word in that handle.

When running game goes, easy to find open receivers

FS O line better start playing some footy, b'day boy took full game worth of beating in the first quarter.

Oohhhhh, confetti in Superdome

Pitta was clutch for us last season and a big part of SB winning run. In his first game after that awful injury, he showed that he hasn't lost anything, he just kept going where he left off. He is worth to us more than any other team in the NFL, simply because Joe and him have that something special going. He will be re-signed to 4-5 year deal, no question about it.
