“I think you fit the system around the guy that’s playing,” Steichen said. The reason? Because Steichen’s offensive adaptability allows them to do so. The Colts, under first-year coach Shane Steichen, have taken a particularly open-minded approach to scouting this year’s quarterback class. Here is, perhaps, the biggest reason it’s been so difficult to handicap the Colts’ preferred style of quarterback: Because there isn’t one. Part of the reason that has been a tough question to answer? They like all four, and think new head coach Shane Steichen is in a position to craft an offense for each option. However, the tougher question to pin down an answer to is this: Which QB do they want? Fire up! /OMRpt2KkGI- Jim Irsay April 16, 2023
With the #4 pick, we could stay put and take a QB-or trade up and take a QB-OR trade down and MAYBE take a QB-Or NOTĪll options on the table, but we like our position and are very excited. General manager Chris Ballard said as much when the offseason began, and owner Jim Irsay seemed of similar mind when he pushed send on this Tweet:įor the '23 draft, we have many options. We know the Colts are going to take a quarterback. So I thought we as a scouting staff and coaches did a good job of not falling into that trap.” The Colts like all four of the top quarterbacks ”I don’t want to say there’s any drastic change of mind, but there’s ebbs and flows of how much you like a guy, and that’s why you have to resist the temptation of making your mind up too early. “There was ebbs and flows during the process,” said Reich. Reich briefly elaborated on Carolina’s thinking, and the process that brought them to consensus. Of course, analysts immediately latched onto that word, consensus.ĭoes this mean there is a dissenting voice? Did someone in the room need convincing? “It was kind of like a proposal of sorts. As described by the coach, general manager Scott Fitterer popped into his office on Monday to make sure they were on the same page.

Gruden once asked Tom Moore why Peyton's backups didn't get more reps 'Fellas, if 18 goes down we're fucked, and we don't practice fucked.'- Sam Monson Carolina knows the pickĪt least someone knows how to start their mock drafts.Īccording to Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich, the organization has reached “consensus” on who they are taking Thursday night to open the draft. On the Pat McAfee Show this week, Adam “Pacman” Jones indicated that he was told that a Hopkins trade would be coming on Thursday: DeAndre Hopkins trade this week?Ĭould we see veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins traded this week? But as noted by McShay, it is hard to see him sliding too far.īut maybe at least past Seattle at 5. I don’t see Carter falling out of the top 10, but it’s reasonable he could slide to the back end of it.Ĭarter has not enjoyed the strongest pre-draft process, which could see him slide a bit on Thursday night. Multiple sources have told me Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter isn’t expected be the pick. If both are gone, that means either Anderson or Wilson will be there, and I expect that’d be the direction Seattle goes. Stroud is 21 years old and Richardson is 20, and the idea is either could sit behind Geno Smith in the short term and develop into the answer for the long term.
The more I talk to execs, scouts, coaches and agents, the more I think the Seahawks could be targeting Stroud or even Florida’s Anthony Richardson at this spot, depending on who is there. I have a strong sense Seattle won’t leave Round 1 without a quarterback. However, if they take the latter approach, Jalen Carter is reportedly not an option.Īccording to ESPN’s Todd McShay, he has been told that Seattle would pass on Carter if the interior defensive lineman is on the board when they are on the cl As outlined in this fantastic piece by Mookie Alexander, Seattle can add a quarterback, they could trade down (or up), or they could draft the best defensive player or players available when they are on the clock. Thanks to the Russell Wilson trade, the Seahawks are in a position to dominate the 2023 NFL Draft, and potentially set themselves up to dominate future ones as well.
Including the idea of Hendon Hooker to the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round. In today’s installment we look at the Seattle Seahawks and their thoughts on Jalen Carter, ponder a DeAndre Hopkins trade - fueled in part by a cryptic Lamar Jackson tweet - and of course talk about the quarterbacks. After all there’s only one more sleep ‘til Draft Day.
