N/S SJB is back on the market (1 Viewer)

With his injury, we'll never really get to know if he had the talent to excell but just needed to be coached up and used properly to highlight his skillset.

FWIW, his pre-injury play in Seattle's training camp wasn't drawing any special mentions by the Seattle beat writers and local radio/tv analysts.

Probably the worst one of the Payton/Loomis era...

Give Andrus Peat another year to claim the throne.

I still cannot figure out why he was selected. Was it based purely on size, and that he played on a good D in Nebraska? (I don't even know if they were a good D, just a shot in the dark). I think I remember we became obsessed with trying to replicate the Seahawks' D for a couple years, maybe they thought they could turn him into Sherman? Guess we'll never know. I'm pretty sure Cooks is the ONLY person from the 2014 draft left on the team, which is embarrassing.

At least we seem to have righted the ship with Ireland and co.

You answered your own question.

And to double down, we brought in Browner the following season.

Wow. 1992-1993....1995-1996-1997

5 out of 6 years years.....that's rough.

1994 was Mario Bates. Those '90s drafts were brutal.

When this thread appeared at the top of the page after the Keenan Lewis news, I thought it was going to be a troll. lol

We did too much trying to copycat instead of concentrating on finding guys that could play the game AND were plus athletes.

Which is where Jeff Ireland is showing tremendous worth.

If Peat turns out to be what he looks like then missing on him is far worse than the terrible SJB pick
