#236 (R7)
John Ursua- WR - Oregon
Doug Baldwin like skill set. Sticky hands and good YAC guy.
overall love the draft for the Seahawks, I think turning 4 picks into 11 is pretty amazing especially considering they didnt move much from next year. Also this is how they draft, quantity is important to them.
Doug Baldwin is still considering retirement. it sounds like he is leaning that way based on Pete and John. I hoped he does what's best for him. I want him back but I get it completely so whatever he decides, I'm good with. Goes down as the 2nd best WR in Seahawks history in my book.
Ziggy Ansah was in town for a meeting which is a good sign. love to see him come in for a 1 yrs contract. Also maybe another pass rusher type guy, Nick Perry, Earl Mitchell maybe run stuffer, and even Eric Berry?
