Aztec Hammer Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 The complete dismantling and pick accumulation of Sashi could see us in a unique position of potentially sustaining competitiveness and maybe even dominance for a very long time. Most teams have quick windows that shut before you barely realise they’re open. But look at this: QB Sam Darnold - 20 RB Saquon Barkley - 21 RB Duke Johnson - 24 WR Josh Gordon - 26 WR Jarvis Landry - 25 WR Corey Coleman - 23 TE David Njoku - 21 LT Shon Coleman - 26 LG Joel Bitonio - 26 C JC Tretter - 27 RG Kevin Zeitler - 28 RT Chris Hubbard - 26 DE Myles Garrett - 22 DE Emmanuel Ogbah - 24 DTs Ogunjobi, Brantley, Coley - 23 LB Jamie Collins - 28 LB Christian Kirksey - 25 LB Joe Schobert - 24 CB TJ Carrie - 27 CB EJ Gaines - 26 CB BBC - 25 FS Damarious Randall - 25 SS Jabrill Peppers - 22 If you assume this is roughly our starting lineup, as well as adding picks 33 and 35, who will both be young. That is crazy. Our oldest player is 28. If you believe that a good number of those listed above are foundational or strong supplementary pieces to build with, there is no reason at all that we can’t be really competetive for a really long time with consistent future drafting and reupping of the right guys. We have circa $70m cap space and though it might be a challenge to extend many of these guys at roughly the same time should they pan out as we expect, it’s still an unbelievable situation to be in. I think we have it as good as any team in the league when projecting realistic potential to compete and excite fans year in year out for the next decade. Thoughts? What do you think of the youthful nature of the team? Who stands out? What do you think we are capable of over the next decade? I think it would be interesting to read everyone’s perspective on this.

bosko1616 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 We still have some work to do but it’s a great start for us. Upgrades at both CBs positions and LT are needed plus depth but I love the way we’re built. Hoping to upgrade are HC next year as well maybe BB a man can dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Burgess Jr. Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I think the key to the Seahawks success was their defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be interesting to read everyone’s perspective on this. 8 potential pro bowlers, imho. Darnold, Barkley, Gordon, Landry, Njoku and Bitonio on O; Garrett and Ogunjobi on D. Need a bit more D, and with that we will contend with competent coaching. Would be nice to get BB back. Then we would be talking Super Bowl.

MWil23 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yeah, well, Sashi is just some stupid nerd without a job in the NFL...stupid nerd. Just like Philly's GM. STUPID Nerd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Burgess Jr. Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Our defensive line is about as good as the Seahawks was i’d Give their linebackers a 90 overall where Cleveland is about an 80 overall i’d Give their secondary a 100 whereas ours is around a 70 this is 2014 hawks when they won su we bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke2056 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hard to say we are set up for a decade when not only are we not set up NOW, in about 4-5 years almost all of those players won't be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. The talent on the list is undeniable. Even without factoring contributions from the draft and UFDAs, we are built to win starting now. All comes down to coaching at this point, imho.
