Seattle went from looking like a full rebuild to a team that maybe can hover around .500… where they have been stuck in recent years.

Strange strategy.

Milton Williams and Josh Sweat have excellent value as 3rd/4th rd picks and will give that same value back with a 3rd and 4th rd comp pick. They found an elite LT in the 7th rd.

They’re projected to have 17 picks in the first 5 rds the next 2 years and 20 overall. Might get another 4th rd comp pick for Becton if he gets paid.

Also found Baun and Becton cheap and they became excellent.

I love Veach. He’s a top 3 GM in my eyes. But Howie Roseman is the best right now.

The way he structures contracts, and his owner's willingness to let him mortgage their future, allows him to sign all of those guys. Yes, he's an excellent talent evaluator. He also is allowed to spend 3x what the average NFL team spends. Just stop.

Got to say, I think he's right. Roseman is the stand-out.

That said, I think a more useful way to think about it is probably to ask how, say, Veach and Roseman would do if they switched positions. Entirely possible, as great as Roseman is, he wouldn't have been so enamoured with Mahomes, and so wouldn't have gone to bat for him as much.

But Roseman winning 2 SBs with Wentz/Foles and Hurts, is very impressive. I think Run is right - getting those picks for Wentz, and their subsequent drafts, have been the catalyst for their success.

Justin Reid was apparently very close to signing with the Eagles, but the Eagles had a lack of cap space

Becton at $10 million/season vs. Smith at $23 million/season?

I know which path I'd have preferred...

I hear ya but Becton is going to land on IR, just wait for it.

IR?

He's gone to the Chargers.

I'd take 50/50 odds that he ends up in the ****ing morgue by December.

But we've done a pretty nice job of managing the health of our OL here - I really think he'd have been a nice fit.
