As a Broncos fan, I'm glad we got a tier 1 guy.

QB purgatory sucks.

Drew Lock
Shelby Harris
Picks

...so far.

Noah Fant as well.

Picks: 2 firsts, 2 seconds, 1 fifth

I am a die hard 49ers fan, and the Seahawks' trade of Russell Wilson to Denver Broncos will shake the NFC West and AFC West. When Russell Wilson started 9 straight full seasons from 2012 to 2020, the Seahawks never finished worse than 9-7. But without Russell Wilson, the Seahawks will probably finish last in the NFC West for the 2nd year in a row. The defending Super Bowl champion Rams will be favored to win the NFC West again. The 49ers and Cardinals will probably be competing for 2 of the 3 NFC Wildcard playoff spots, but I won't be surprised if either the 49ers or Cardinals wins the NFC West in 2022.

The AFC West will become more competitive with quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Russell Wilson, and Derek Carr playing in the same division. The Kansas City Chiefs have won 6 straight AFC West division titles from 2016 to 2021, but that streak might end in 2022.

I bet Fant went from a 10 (we got a QB!) to a 0 (I still don't have a QB!), haha.

Well this sure ends a fun era in Hawks football. I think this trade is smart for the Hawks. Time to rebuild. Denver gets a great QB. Hawks will surely suck now. Hope they trade DK as well.

Yea, because a franchise QB and RB are the same.

Take a joke much?

Actually, they might be going after Deshaun Watson and using the draft capital they just got to get younger at QB. If you think about it, the Seahawks sure don't care about dealing with fallout from controversial players.

Greatest QB division ever?

Mahomes
Carr
Herbert
Wilson

Nasty division

That is insane!

I think the Hawks got a decent deal if they go back to their drafting skills of 2008-2012. Wilson was not a high draft pick if folks remember. Gotta hit again. Easier said then done I know. I lived through Zorn and Kreig. Hassleback was ok. But so many misses.

All that said I think Wilson was trending downward. He doesn't run and evade the rush like before. He's still great but I don't see him playing at a high level. Once teams took away his long ball the last 2 seasons he really struggled. And he seems more concerned with non football things now. It'll be fun to see how he plays at Denver. Only time will tell.

I wouldn't waste too much on Watson. I think the best thing is build the team up and find that rookie gem. Rookie contracts for QBs seems like the best way to win now. Once you sign huge contracts it's hard to win. Unless you mortgage your franchises future.

I agree completely with you on that, if you're going for a championship, then building the team and getting things in place to start making playoff runs while your QB is on his rookie contract is the way to go. But, the QB is the guy who brings fans into the seats. No clue how the Seahawks will handle it, but losing Wilson could cost them fan support.

Hawks fans have traditionally been very supportive of their teams. I don't see it changing folks like me. We tend to be loyal even when we shouldn't be I'd say. I think most Hawks will see this as a genius move. Wilson was a free agent after next season. Better to get picks and reduce cap now. I am actually excited again. The hawks weren't winning crap the way they were built. Wilson has been an amazing hawk and so fun. But he only has a few more years in him. Injuries will start to mount. Sad part of getting older. How many scrambling QBs last beyond 10 years?

I'm sad to see this era pass. But all things change.

Interesting, there must have been some real people upset if they were forced to delete the tweet.

Depends how well they draft. They recent drafts have been pretty underwhelming

If you are giving me the option of Russ or trying to nab a QB with any of those picks Denver gave up, give me Russ.

That is my fear. They have lost their way for years. It seemed they couldn't miss 2008-2012. Since then it's been a mixed bag at best. That Aggie O
Lineman 1st round pick hurt the most. Huge miss. Penny in round 1 was a huge let down too. Brooks out of tech and DK were pretty good hits. But too few imo

I highly doubt they go for a QB. I see a total rebuild. I saw Lockett is on the trade table. Appears the Hawks are in full reset mode. No need to rush the QB pick. Build the team around the QB first. Find that gem I the later rounds. Or suck again and get a great draft pick. I'm rescind to the fact my hawks are crap for a while again. I'm used to it really. Other than 1983-1987, 2004-2006, 2012-2014 my Hawks have been pretty awful. Maybe in another 10 years we can get it right again. Thank God for Aggie Football!

I'm coming at it from a Denver perspective, saying if Denver were to get a QB in the first or second round this year or next, I'd rather take Russ this year.

Seahawks informed eight-time All-Pro and Pro-Bowl LB Bobby Wagner, a franchise icon, that they are releasing him, per source.

Wagner arrived in Seattle on the same 2012 day as Russell Wilson and now leaves the same day, too. End of an era in Seattle.

Denver has Wilson 2 years under this contract. If the team around him is really that good then Denver will look smart. Hope they win it all. Could be a win win for everyone. I'll cheer for the broncos. Hope the Hawks spin all these picks into a future champion.. it was obvious to anyone that really was honest the hawks were dead and needed to restart.

I am just happy I got to see the Hawks play this last 10 years at the level they did. Us hawk fans haven't had a lot of success since '76.
