We should just bring back Patrick Hunter. He had better size.

The next year, when Jennings turned out to not be a stud, we still needed help there…So we picked Wilson at #55…off the board before Wilson: Darrelle Revis 14 (who?) Leon Hall 18 (hasn’t exactly lit up the league) Chris Houston 44 (another “who?”) Eric Wright 53 (oh well, we hadn’t had a chance to pick yet)
Following Wilson, Usame Young 66(?) Marcus McCauley 72 (?) Jonathan Wade 84, Dante Hughes 95…from the look of things there, we again managed the second best (possibly the best CB in the draft, this time with the #55 pick)
In FA, wh could’ve picked up Nate Clements, Travis Fisher or Nick Harper…instead we got Patrick Kerney, Deon Grant, Bobby Engram and Brian Russell…Ok, picking up Fisher or Harper would have been a good move, especially exchanging either of those signings for Brian Russell, but that year, we were desperate for S help…
In the draft, taken before we were up were LaRon Landry 6 Michael Griffin 19, Reggie Nelson 21, Eric Weddle 37. We could have had Gerald Alexander 61, Sabby Piscitelli 64, Aaron Rouse 89 or taken a flyer on Dashon Goldson…
In FA, our choices were: Mike Adams, Mike Doss, Hammer, Terrence Holt, Todd Johnson, Michael Lewis, Kevin McCardem, Jon McGraw, Omar Stoudimire, or Cameron Worrell…

First, thanks Nightwulf for your input.
As for the speculation about Walt….I hope not. Maybe he will retire until he’ll be needed back. That way he gets extra rest, we can keep Reed and Ruskell
can save his face about LoJack. I agree with Chuck about Branch; it is to late to let him go now and get nothing in return.

nightwulf, good points and good research.

I think Cedric Griffin was actually the CB steal of that 2006 draft (he now starts for Minnesota) but everyone missed him, he slid to the second round, and he took a few years to develop. Other than missing him, like everyone else did, I agree that for a team desperate for CBs, the Seahawks made just about the best selection they could with Jennings that year.

Further research shows that, in FA, we could’ve picked up Charles Woodson, but we singed Shaun Alexander, Julian Peterson and Nate Burleson instead…

Jennings biggest problem has been his ability to make a play on the ball at the moment of truth. He has improved greatly on this weakness over training camp. He is still going to have problems with Larry Fitzgerald. Of course everyone else in the league will have the same problems as well. We aren’t going to do any better for our third corner.

I think we will keep 6 WR with the last two being Obo and Kent. Kent is pretty valuable as the gunner on the punt team maybe he can turn into an Alex Bannister type for us.

We can probably sneak Bennett to the PS. No way Reed makes it. Dirks lineup looks about right.

Sadly I think there will be an extra spot as I think Walt is done. Sad way to go out.
