Niners fleeced the Chiefs on Alex Smith & stole Anquan Boldin from the Ravens.

If the guy you draft is any good in 3 years- I’m sure he’ll find his way to the Seahawks. Just got my Wilson jersey in the mail today. How many of you have Ponder jerseys? Mike Wallace signed in Mia where their QB can throw the ball further than 10 yards. Smart choice for him.

We are excited to have you and your talent. Biggest gripe about you has been that you have been upset with your QB and team performance/competitive nature. The Hawks have addressed that over the last 3 years and we think you will be very happy in helping get the team too where it wants to go. Again, Welcome.

Go Hawks!

Like every single other personnel move by the Hawks in the last 3 years, it left me scratching my head, and has the rest of the NFL laughing at Seattle.

Then I remember all the laughter when we paid TJ Houchmenzadeh to leave, drafted Russell Wilson (and almost every other draft pick), went after big CBs in the CFL and late in the draft, etc, etc.

It’s pretty funny how they say the NFL is a copycat league, and everyone knows Seattle’s front office is the best in the game – yet STILL people criticize Pete and John. I love it. As long as the pundits and armchair GMs keep saying we’re doing poorly, I’ll keep my faith that our front office is still a step ahead of the rest.

Oh and to the 49er fans saying they’re glad they got Boldin instead… yeah yeah yeah, you said the same thing about Randy Moss last offseason. Pffffft. LOL. Pretty soon, your team is going to have to find new talent rather than ride on all the high draft picks Harbaugh inherited. Good luck with that.

It’s so easy to get drunk on the FA punch and forget about the real value in draft picks. I see far too many Seattle fans falling into this trap. Yeah, it’s exciting to get a new player like Harvin, just like it’s exciting to get a new car…until you start making all of the payments, and it breaks down etc… –then it’s not so fun anymore. So, enjoy the small window of euphoria while it lasts. I just wouldn’t invest in many jerseys because half the talent on that team is going to be gone in a couple of years.
—
Harvin wasn’t a free agent, the Seahawks have a high percentage of players on their team that they drafted and they have 10 draft picks this year second only to the 49ers.

Seattle added a pro bowl caliber slot WR and KR to a contending team. Minnesota moves a disgruntled player who would not resign for a bounty of picks. Seems fair.

They need to land an instant starter with that first round pick they received, and they need to get some real wide receivers. The fact that they even bothered to re-sign Jerome Simpson is troublesome. Simpson was awful last year, drop several passes and ran wrong routes. The Vikings need reliable receivers, and Simpson is not reliable.

The Vikes got draft picks and Percy didn’t want to play here anyway. Now it’s what we do with the picks that counts. Odds are we won’t get a talent like Harvin, but hopefully somethin good with the 1st and the 3rd. The 7th rd pick is meaningless.

He had arguably the best draft last year and now gets a hall for guy that was a problem on the team and was going to cost them a ton of money. Kudos to Spielman.

Given the “are you serious” 1st round picks they make, this one is solid. JS/PC always do better in later rounds. Tate, Rice, Harvin, Miller, Baldwin, Lynch, Turbin, Wilson..pretty decent offensive weapons. Harvin pushes back the safeties and opens more room for Lynch to run, Tate, Rice and Miller to fill in intermediate routes and Lynch/Turbin running routes out of the backfield.

Essentially gave up a 3rd and 7th..I’ll take that every day
Now they can concentrate on the D-line in the draft.

Seattle is so stupid to get fleeced this badly in a trade that has no upside for them. When Seattle’s GM is fired this will be listed as one of the reasons.
———-
This is what is said after every draft and nearly every roster addition Pete and JS have made the past 3 years. Hard to get fired when you are consistently drafting defensive pro bowlers and franchise QB’s in middle rounds. Aside from Whitehurst every move he’s made has turned gold, pretty sure he knows what he’s doing.

I would say Spielman can draft in the first round pretty well not to mention the later rounds as well with Pro Bowl kicker Blair Walsh. Saying the Seahawks are better off draft wise is ridiculous.

What a joke. This is the GM that signed Chris Clemons (double-digit sacks for 3 straight years), drafted Kam Chancellor, Richard Sherman, KJ Wright, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson, signed Brandon Browner, Zach Miller, Marshawn Lynch…

Seriously. Do your homework man. Minnesota (who lost in Seattle, badly last season) would love to be in this position.

What a steal for the Vikings. Harvin’s not worth that much.
———-
It’s really not that much from a Seattle perspective. They now obviously were looking WR with that #25 pick anyway, losing one of their three 7th rndrs is virtually nothing. So really the 3rd next year is the big deal and the heftier contract. That’s a good deal considering Harvin’s a proven game changer. Minn made a nice haul for their needs too.
