First-round pick for Kolb? Think twice, Seahawks - NFL - CBSSports.com Football
Given his youth and promise, Kolb might well be worth a first-round choice when the lockout ends and the trade moratorium is lifted. But projecting a quarterback with such a limited body of work is tricky business. And if history is an indication, the Seahawks, of any other team interested, probably can't be sure the price is right.
McNabb May Only Fetch A 6th Or 7th Rounder - The Washington Post
If the Redskins move Donovan McNabb a minute after a new collective bargaining agreement is formally implemented or wait until the day after their first regular season game — the option deadline — it would still be surprising if any team offered more than a sixth- or conditional seventh-round pick for him. Shanahan needs to let McNabb move on at any price.

The Seahawks article is pretty dumb.
This just a year after dealing a third-round pick to San Diego, and switching second-rounders (a difference of 20 slots), for career backup Charlie Whitehurst, who had never started a game in his four seasons with the Chargers but still got a two-year, $8 million contract from the Seahawks. The seeming mistake with Whitehurst — who, despite starting just two games in 2010, still has a few supporters in the Seattle front office — might be rectified if a Kolb deal is completed.
If the Whitehurst trade seemingly didn’t work out, shouldn’t that be a reason to get the best available QB on the market? Also, how can their FO have more faith in Whitehurst than Kolb, when they keep mentioning a small body of work…seems a bit hypocritical since Kolb has a much larger body of work than Whitehurst.
Still, a first-rounder is a steep price.
Really Seattle? This is a team that has drafted these guys in the first round:
2000 Chris McIntosh: BUST
2001 Koren Robinson : Not worth 9th overall. Not a bust but nothing to write home about
2001 Steven Hutchinson : All-pro guard in his prime
2002 Jeremy Steven: BUST (although he caught the only TD in the Super Bowl against the Steelers)
2003 Marcus Trufant: Above average corner
2004 Marcus Tubbs: BUST
2005 Chris Spencer: BUST
2006 Kelly Jennings: BUST
2008 Lawrence Jackson: BUST
2009 Aaron Curry: BUST
2010 Russell Okung: Not worth the 6th pick, a bit overrated.
2010 Earl Thomas: Okay, we’ll give you that one.
2011 James Carpenter: To early, I personally don’t think he’ll be a star.
So that’s what? 4 for 13 in successful first round picks?
Unless they are planning to get Barkley, Luck, or Landry Jones, there reasons for not getting Kolb are pretty dumb.

I don't think Kelly Jennings is a bust.
I think he’s a solid player.. I also don’t believe Curry hasn’t been given enough time yet.. Okung’s only had 1 year and was a great OT prospect coming out he was every bit worth the #6

Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

Kelly Jennings for where he was picked is a Bust in my book. He’s an adequate starter at best. Struggles against big receivers, not physical, not quick or fast, and he’s pretty small which certainly doesn’t help things. At this point of his career he should be a back up and he was drafted in the 1st round only 4 years ago.
I doubt Curry is going to get any better. He’s basically a less athletic/physical/aggressive ernie sims. No instincts, not football IQ. That was his biggest knock coming out of school.
And I guess I’ll give Okung the benefit of the doubt.

Jennings in producing so I wouldn’t call him a bust.
Curry’s going to be fine.
And yeah 1 year? You can’t be blasting him for 1 year lol.

I’ve got to disagree on Okung. He was the best tackle in the draft and the Skins only took Trent Williams first because he ran a good 40 at the combine. But I’m with you on Carpenter. I know you can’t really judge a draft before any of these guys get on the field but I think they dropped the ball this year.

Williams
was more athletic, Okung was more of a mauler.. Both were about tied.
Also yes, they may have dropped the ball Carpenter, he’s a good OLman with upside, but not a 1st round guy.

Okung would have been the 2nd overall pick if he was in the draft a year earlier. 2010 was a very good draft, Bradford, Suh, McCoy, and Berry were considered to be franchise players. Williams was drafted first because he was a better fit for Shanahan’s zone blocking scheme.

Whoa
a little early to be pulling the plug on Curry
Koren Robinson was a bust. He was good his 2nd year, but other than that his career as a whole wouldn’t be considered a success even for a 2nd rounder. You are too hard on Curry. The guy had 73 tackles and 4 sacks as a SAM. I don’t have advanced stats and I didn’t watch many of his games, so maybe I’m not the best judge.
by Noble Psychopath on Jul 6, 2011 6:21 PM EDT up reply actions
Koren was most certainly a bust
You are right, the guy had a couple okay seasons — late in his career in Green Bay he was good too, but him and David Terrell … well just see for yourself.

When does the game drop? I usually wait a week or two to pick up NCAA so someone has time to upload the rosters.
Given all that, hell yeah, I’m game. XBL or PSN?

Plax vs. Tiki
I expect Plax to make a better contribution to a squad rather than Tiki. Plax can be used to go over the top of his defender and is a much better redzone threat. Plus Tiki is an asshole,Plax is just a clumbsy gun slinger.

McNabb
I can’t beleive how f-ed up his situation is. At least he’ll be leaving Shanahan’s influence. I’m still rooting for the guy.
Whoever you are, when I log off, you cease to exist.
