jrry32 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I should note that I hate this trade as a Rams fan. It's a really good deal for Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTRDynasty Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Only real issue with Dunbar is how often he gets injured. Only played in 18 games the past two years. You just have to hope it was the Redskins' incompetent medical staff that was the biggest contributor to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 22 minutes ago, animaltested said: I think we might be over thinking it. CB was thin as tissue paper last year. Tre and Shaq both missed games. Akeem King was kinda of a dud. Thorpe was hurt all year. And this years class has a ton of T-Rex DB's Seattle is not interested in. This trade adds talent + Depth at a really thin position. Dunbar probably has the inside edge over Flowers, but I can see a scenario where all three are on the field at the same time (especially if teams line up their stud in the slot => Adams). Dunbar also misses a lot of games, so with those three guys, maybe you can get two full seasons worth out of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep fair point. And a 5th for him is a good deal. And I know teams shouldn't rotate CBs but maybe to counter the WR advantages in todays game, they should start doing just that. I know that sounds radical to the point of lunacy. Maybe they see him as a nickel back! Is this a move to counter the arrival of Hopkins in Arizona, the WRs the Rams already have and the likelihood the Niners take a WR with pick 13 in an allegedly stacked WR draft? Just thinking out loud here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Dunbar and Frederick out of the division in the same day. Happy day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceinthehouse Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Breaking! Q. Dunbar has broken his wrist, attempting to sign a contract extension. He's looking at 3 to 4 weeks recovery time. But don't forget...he's a hell of a player. 😜 Don't fret my fellow skins fans... Kyle Allen was undrafted-we traded a 5th Dunbar was undrafted-we got back a 5th. We also lost a whiny *****, so that will be hard to replace. But we still got Trent, so no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMT Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Well that looks like a great move for the Seahawks! Dunbar is definitely better than Flowers, and should start over him next year. Now go get some DLs please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar definitely isn't a top 2 CB like PFF thinks, but he's an above average starter on a low cap hit. We basically let him force his way out of DC with nothing to really show for it. We would have gotten at least a 4th round comp pick if we let him play out his deal this year and walk in 2021. I was just coming in here to ask Redskins fan how good Dunbar is. CB is one of Seattle's biggest weaknesses. They have their #1 CB on the roster, so if Dunbar can be the #2 that would be awesome. Remember the NFC Divisional game vs the Packers and how they couldn't cover Davante Adams - as in Adams was just running around WIDE OPEN - hopefully Dunbar can help in that regard.

Yeah, he’ll be a very good addition to that secondary. It’s also the sort of CB the Seahawks look for (long-armed former WR who converted to CB), so not surprised he ended up there. He has excellent route-recognition skills and has a nose for the ball. He’s not a burner, so he can get exposed against fast WRs running go routes or slants with a lot of open field in front of them, but it’s rare that I’ve seen him truly burned. His game against Cooper in 2018 is the only one that comes to mind, but he was playing with a leg injury IIRC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very curious to see what we do between Dunbar, Tre Flowers, and Shaq Griffin. Have to assume either Flowers or Griffin will be dealt... Deal Griffin? Heck no. He was a Pro Bowl alternate this season and played well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just nitpicking there, though, because he’s a really good player. I think if he stays healthy, he’s a borderline Pro Bowler in the Seattle system. Great acquisition for them.

Perhaps they let it play out and hope Griffin nets a high contract and valuable compensatory return. Keep in mind both Dunbar and Griffin are playing out contract years and I'd say it's unlikely we would re-up both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 John Schneider was able to get Quinton Dunbar, and Quandre Diggs for Nick Vannett and 5th. What a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
