There ´ s something strange here.
Did they know something about Wilson we don´ t ?
On paper, that´ s such a great news for the Niners.
Oh wait they´ re gonna draft Malik Willis now isn´t it?^^

I wouldn't be surprised to see them move up for him now.

Seattle ate the exact type of scumbags that would trade for Watson right now

Watson doesn't make them any better than they were with Russell and is paid more. Wilson was due $41mil over the next two seasons and Watson will get paid $35mil just in '22 alone if he plays.

Wow. So Denver is a playoff contender. But the AFC is still murderer's row so it won't be easy for Denver.

Ravens, Browns, Bengals, Bills, Patriots, Colts, Titans, Texans(Watson?), Chiefs, Chargers and now the Broncos. NFC got Cowboys, Packers, Cardinals, Rams and 49ers….

And Arizona barely. Brady seeing that NFC, "Hey Honey, how about just one more year?'. I know, I know TB won't trade his rights,

Will take a couple of years but Seattle will end up better because of this trade. Need to hit on a rookie QB this year or next though.

ONLY if they hit on a QB. Doubt they will, they suck at drafting

Thats a good pickup for them.

I don't like the Fant. He's another Jimmy Graham type of TE that's just a 1 trick pony.

This makes even less sense. Graham is a five time pro bowler who is 6'7. I wouldn't even know what his one trick is? Maybe he's just a receiver you are saying not a blocker?

Even so the two players are nothing alike imo. Fant is 6'4 and a prospect who was drafted high and has played pretty darn well in the early going has high end speed unlike Graham. Graham more a red zone weapon imo.

Right, some teams have better luck than others in replacing their old HoF QB's. Hopefully the Seahawks are not one of those teams.

I don't know why you keep bringing up his draft status as if that matters. That's like saying Eric Ebron was a high draft pick so therefore he is good. It's f**king stupid. I don't like Tight Ends who aren't in-line tight ends. If you think you will convince me Fant is good you're incorrect.

I think that's highly possible. Whether he ever hits a similar level is to be determined, but I think Malik has some similarities to Wilson so it definitely makes some sense.

The good thing about it is that we already got the guy who would have been the #1 pick in this years draft.

They probably wouldn't need to move up. There wasn't any QB rated as a 1st round pick heading into the combine and now as usual we're talking about a QB going in the top 10.

The number depended on who you were looking at but most had a couple QBs going in the first. Some had as many as four or five going. Willis and Pickett were the most likely to go Top 10. Still are.

If Seattle wants someone with a similar skills etc as Wilson, Willis fits the bill.

Yeah but that one trick is pretty good. Especially if teams have to pay attention to Metcalf and Lockett as well.

Ah got it so I was correct in terms of you saying he's not really a blocker. I didn't really understand what you were saying based on your post but thanks for clarifying.

People had to pay attentions to Sutton, Jeudy, Hamler and Patrick.
