Can Josh McCown, Mike Glennon, or a QB in the draft this year post that stat line for us? Those are the numbers Russel Wilson posted this past season. (Along with 500 yards rushing and a TD on the ground). The Seahawks won using a great defense, great running game, and great special teams. I'm not saying that is the only way to win in today's NFL, but the Seahawks proved it could be done. San Fran also made a serious run with this formula. I think Lovie has impact players in piece at all three levels (McCoy, David, Verner) and has the talent to field a good defense with other great talent (Johnson, Foster, Barron). Doug Martin, Bobby Rainy, and Mike James have all shown they can make and impact in the running game. Even when Hester wasn't running balls back Lovie always brought good special teams. This might sound crazy, but maybe we don't need to draft a world beater QB in the 1st (personally the only 1RD talent I see in this draft in JFF), but can afford to take a smart decision making QB who may not have all the physical tools later in the draft (AJ McCarron, Aaron Murray) and groom them into our QB of the future. If they turn out to be a world beater, awesome. Until then let's surround our QB with talent on the outside and defensive play makers. I know a lot of people think Lovie will not draft a lot of offense, but I think a year out of football and being fired after great success in Chicago can make him see he needs to change his ways a bit. Maybe our draft can look like thisRD 1- Mike Evans. Great WR prospect, ideal size and speed, great hands. QB friendly player.RD 2- Jason Varret. Lack perfect size in today's world of extra large DBs, but has the tools to excel in Lovie's system that will maximize his talent. RD 3- Jarvis Laundry. Production, passion, huge hands. Love his player. He could make a great WR2RD 5- AJ McCarron/Aaron Murray We walk out of the draft with players who can make an impact right away with Josh McCown under center, and an impact player on defense.
