As a Commanders fan, let me tell you...a lot of us think you stole him from us. He was worth more than those pick swaps. He got a raw deal having to play behind our wet paper bag of an offensive line.
Man I was hoping you guys kept him
Washington fan here. You guys got a heck of deal on Howell. He is a tremendous competitor. Washington never gave this kid a realistic situation to grow and thrive in. Yeah, he had some growing pains in his 1st year, but the expectations he was required to meet were darn near impossible for anyone to overcome; especially with the horrific play-calling, the worst line in the league and no defense to stop people. Again, not saying he didn't make mistakes and needs some improvement in some areas of his game, but our new coaching and front office want to take the easy street and just draft their guy. Heaven forbid, we keep a 2nd talented youngster here. They just don't want real competition I guess, but I digress.
Depending who each team gets with the picks traded will ultimately determine how much of win it was for either side. I hope you guys spend more time on player development than we did. Best of luck to Sam and his opportunity in Seattle. I think you guys got a good one.
Sam Howell is younger than Bo Nix and Michael Penix
and he's got a year experience throwing the ball a million times a game
Right exactly!!
49er friend says he better the fields

@@tylert4170hes a 49er fan for a reason 😂
I like it. Leonard Williams is essentially our 2nd round pick.
Not only a legit 7-11 DT (moves up a spot now with AD out), but had the Niners got him instead of Chased they win the Super Bowl. Added benefit😁😁😁😁
And our 5th round pick next year. Still worth it, considering he is the best DT we've had since Tez. A real solid pickup for John and us!
Hawks just got a young starting quality QB (who doesn't have to start right away) with 18 games of NFL experience for a 5th round pick. He's smart, tough, makes good decisions, has a strong arm, can make all of the throws, and isn't afraid to run if necessary. And he's cheaper than Drew Locke. So, what's not to like? Value, value, value.
I was 100% with you until you said "makes good decisions". Led the entire league throwing 21 picks last season...
@@DeuceBlue2 He also had the most pass attempts of any QB last year with 612 on a terrible team.
I love the move. Let Sam sit for a year at 1 million dollars. He either fits into our plans after this year or we draft someone next year to maybe sit behind him or Geno. The nice thing is that if he does fit then we have an inexpensive quarterback to build around just like in 2012.
Problem with that is if he gets a shot and works out in 2025 as our starter he will require a contract the next year. Definitely not banking on the young cheap QB contract in this one which is such a desirable situation.
As a commanders fan y’all are gonna love him and one day he will end up your franchise qb and I’ll root for him whenever he plays
@@andrewj6256they don’t even realize they got a franchise QB. He doesn’t need to sit, he needs to START week 1
@@calebyost9228 Yes, but his first real contract won't be of a top tier starter so you are still getting a good QB at a bargain if he pans out. The second contract is where the money will come if he performs. Gives us a window.
You might be way underselling Sam Howell as a "value" acquisition. The Seahawks may have landed a decade plus starting quarterback
I like the move
I love the move. If the draft doesn't fall your way to trade back into the second round to get a shot at a top 6 QB in the class and rebuild the one of the interior lines with your first pick, you at least have an insurance plan at QB. That was smart. Other teams apparently thought so too, as they also tried to nab him according to J S.
That was probably the best explanation about this trade I have heard.
I like it, your analysis is pretty spot on imo except for the trade value. It's more that we got him for about a 5th round pick, not 7th. I agree though I think that John really wants to trade back into the end of the first to get another second, and maybe trade up into the 3rd). If we do that it is not likely that a QB they value would be there, maybe Penix slips, but I doubt it. So with that in mind someone like Howell would be a less risky, higher value investment than someone like Milton in the 5th. The only part I do not like is giving up the 3rd, but hopefully we can get that back.
Plus he’s cheaper than any drafts picks will be unless they drop to 4rd or later, which doesn’t seem likely for the top 5 QBs in this draft.
The price is right. We need defense and O line in the draft.
Love it .let him sit for a year and be ryan grubs pet project. I wanted him when he came out. Must say, though, the true value of the pick according to numbers comes to the equivalent of late 5th, not a 7th
Given the historical poor success rate of drafting QBs in the first 2 rounds, and the fact that Howell is cheaper, younger than most QBs in this draft, and you don’t have to spend limited draft capital on a back up player that may not even make the roster, this was a great signing. Good coaching will reduce INTs and I think fans will soon be crying for Howell to start over Geno, just like they did with Locke. It’s too early for me to go that far, but that’s what Seahawks fans do. Suddenly, this draft approach for the Seahawks is becoming pretty clear.
Sam Howell is legit nfl talent. Great arm and is hungry to get better. Has potential to be our franchise quarterback after Geno. Steal
I hope this works but does this mean that yet again they are not going to actually draft a qb? If Schneider says its important but doesn't actually fallow through, you have to wonder about his commitment to the position.
I think Howell is a baller!
Nothing wrong with 2 quarterbacks having to compete for the starting job.
I would of loved to have traded back and drafted Penix gain picks. I didn’t want to draft McCarthy.
... would have* loved. "would of" does not make any sense and it's stupid to put it in writing.
I was thinking about the sam howell trade i can see Schneider copying what he did 2012 with the signing of matt flynn than in the draft grabbing russell wilson. So i did a mock. This was based off BPA but with intention of grabbing Spencer rattler but i went to plan B.
I traded back with tampa.
They got 16 for 26,57, 92
Than traded to det
29 and 2025 3rd for 26
Than traded with tenn
38, 182 for 29
I selected
38 Cooper beebe OG kansas st
57 junior colson LB Michigan
81 Jalen McMillan WR UW
92 Jordan travis QB FSU
102 Jordan Bullard S Georgia
118 Maason Smith DL LSU
179 Erick all TE iowa
182 Hunter nourzad C penn st
192 zion tupola-fetui DE UW
235 prince pines OG tulane.
I traded back because i wanted extra picks so seattle can get deeper. I feel grubb would want a strong, deep oline so seattle can run at will but also pass the ball also. So cooper beebe was one of 3 i felt would help seattle get better at the oline, junior colson is a linebacker i was gunning for. I took McMillian to replace lockett and thought that jalen knows the system grubb employs. Even though rattler was the qb i wanted i picked travis because if not for his injury he would be a second rounder. And if travis is better than originally thought geno or howell could give seattle some value in the next draft. With howell being there seattle can be patient with travis and let him heal. Have it his redshirt year. Bullard and smith is BPA plus with need. I took into account of free agency and yes seattle has decent players but depth is good and i want to get it to what happened in 2012.
I'll be the first to throw this out -- Broncos and Seahawks swap 1st round picks. Seahawks also send Howell to Denver. Denver gives Seattle its 4th round pick. With the 12th pick, the Seahawks take Penix.
Didn't we swap our 3rd and 5th for 4th and 6th? This draft, all the value (talent) are gonna go in the first 100 or so, so you didn't give up a 7th, you gave up one of those top heavy draft guys in the first 80 picks.
Spot on….equivalency charts are flawed….that pick was possibly a strong chip to try to acquire a second rounder….
He played on a horrible team, his int were going to be high playing from behind all season with a horrible coaching staff . This is a steal for us.
It’s not a 7th round. Not even a 5th round. The trade value is equivalent to an early 4th round. Remember Howell was picked in the 5th round in 2022. This is another case JS over paid when trading for players coming into the Seahawks.
At the end of the day Commanders has only 4 wins and he threw 1 touchdown and 1 interception ratio. He will be a okay backup can't see past then a backup for now.
Seattle fans need to turn out bigtime to see your new future in spring practice! Sam Howell is a whole lot better than you might think! After watching him you will begin to see what John S. sees. Sam has all the tools, from a cannon for an arm, to better than average running skills!! He is smart and will give Seattle everything he's got! There is no Quit in him. He has seen the worse that football has to offer, having a terrible O-Line and a subpar O.C. to deal with. Day after day facing team defenses that had no fear of the run, being forced to throw into tight coverages because his receivers could not get open in two seconds or less and having to run for his life! He is a tough individual or he would not have finished the entire season ! E.B. did not Have the ability to enhance his players strengths, he actually took them away trying to force a flawed system to work. With all that working against him, Sam still threw three touchdowns in the game against Seattle last season. Hmm? Maybe we ought to give him a chance, don't you think?? I haven't heard anything about him replacing Geno, the only thing I ask is to give him a fair chance to compete for the job! Have you seen him throw a long ball? if Seattle's offense features that, the fans are in for a treat! No matter who starts for Seattle I hope they get to play behind a solid O-LINE. That is a must! Good luck Seattle! POMO ( east coast Sam Howell fan!)
Still want to move up for McCarthy
The Seahawks would have to give away the farm to move up to get any of the top 5 QB's in this year's draft and John knew it. Too many QB needy teams pick ahead of us.
@ronhaworth5808 might be able to trade with the chargers or the giants though and not bet the farm away
Naw McCarthy has bust written all over him.
7th rd pick? Um, no, it was a 3rd and 5th
4th and 6th back.
You’d need to add up the points on the draft chart for our third and fifth, then minus out the points for the 4 th and 6 th . THAT NUMBER is what you look at to find what it cost
@@russheins6458
Just make it simple and average it out to a late 4th/early 5th round pick
Then why not just trade a 7th round pick why give up a 3rd when we know he was going to get cut in a month
Because there was competition to acquire him by multiple teams as John told Wyman and Bob on Thurs. He was going to be traded very soon.
Tyrel Dodson started 15 Games since 2019 yet people go crazy over his PFF grade from last year (10 games). Lets not kid ourselves, John botched Brooks and Queen who were available at very reasonable money. Especially missing out on Queen with his familiarity with Macdonald is just bad.
Now they go with a high risk high reward move in a very important position within Macdonalds system. Im just hoping for the best but honestly I'd love to press the rewind button on this free agency
You do realize that Queen had a choice on who he signed with right?
@@brianmyers4444 you do realize he was raving about and congratulating Macdonald (his former coach) at the Pro Bowl right? Dummy
Value. Value Value and you get what you Paid For unfortunately Not enough for a Super Bowl
Value is the recipe for missing the playoffs
Is that a minivan Brock!? 😂
From what we've seen so far, I think Howell is going to be a very good back-up. Let's hope I'm wrong and he's a legit. starter. Geno is a glorified back-up so I wouldn't be shocked if Howell takes his job. I wish we took a shot at Justin Fields. High upside...low downside!
One less thing
yup, i'm not sure how people aren't understanding that the QB is our least concern. It even shows that John is on top of things by picking up Howell at such a great value, and that's in the midst of covering more important positions for us.
Joe Milton?
Love the Seahawks. But I don’t understand this move, Super Bowl winning teams usually have a top 5 QB in the NFL. Why trade for an above average QB? This draft is an opportunity to get a potential star QB and next year is a weak QB draft. Why not take a shot at Nix or Penix?
Drop Geno asap
Brock really wanted Justin Fields smh
No he really wanted JJ McCarthy and so did I, but this is more looking like they dont have the capital to draft up and take him cause either Minnesota or Denver is going to do so.
@@visible4850 I said that bc Brock posted a few arguments why Seattle should trade for Fields and how good he could be, and then waited awhile to reluctantly accept the Howell trade.
You mean a 3rd and a 5th
I would STILL Take PENIX or BO if they're gettable!!!
Long Term I think they are both GEN. Talents & who wouldn't Draft
Payton Manning.. or Michael Vick,.. if they could go back in time & get them... ;
U HAVE to swing for it when those kinds of guys are Available!!!
I'm hearing CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP and not so much value leading to results. Firmly believe special QBs are worth sacrificing picks. Feel we are going to regret not doing everythign possible to get JJ, Bo or Michael.
There are so many teams ahead of seattle in the draft that need QBs, and seattle is not in a position to trade up this year. I think build the team first and considerate on the trenches, and try to develop Sam for a year as a backup is best thing to do this year.
We lost 50 draft spot for BACKUP QB who was drafted 5th round pick, and got 21 interception. That is not value, that's SUCKS !
I know another QB that threw over 21 picks his first year starting… and that guy turned out pretty good.
He'll be a scheme fit now, and he's already better than Drew Lock, and cheaper. How is that not value? You're also discounting how valuable it is to have a years worth of film on someone starting in the NFL. He threw for over 3,900 yards and 63% completion in a bad scheme, on a bad team. When someone was picked is a worthless trivia point. Just ask Kam Chancellor, or Doug Baldwin, or Richard Sherman, or Russell Wilson, or any number of elite players picked in the 5th round, or UDFA's.
We dropped from 78 to 102 in the trade….that ain’t 50….
Oh no another 9-8 season coming.
u pandering now. u know u think john done lost his mind. he about to loose all the fans now. Fire him and that new coach this is crazy. our team is getting gutted for nothing. feels like when the sonics moved away. trade our good stuff for random JAGs. we are cooked bro its a wrap. yall need to like let us fans call in when u have John on and grill him this is bogus.
Lol
Lemme guess you wanted the hawks to keep carrol and bring back all the same players too right? Lmfao
OK what "good stuff"? Same fans who do this with every fan favorite who leaves, hype him up to be a first-ballot HOFer.
I would have kept JB, but Mike Mac probably spent the entire month of Feb watching tape in horror, saying 'We gotta get rid of all these ILBs and safeties' (other than J-Love), so I get it. This is why we don't let "us fans" play GM.
Nonsense…..
nah im down with pete stepping down, maybe this isn't mikes idea, but dang bro bruh was a 5th round pick we gave them a third. we on left have 2 picks in the top 100 picks of the draft. what are we doing? @@GORILLA_PIMP
6'1' 220 no wheels, cant see down field. Brock is being nice so he can get some interviews with him in the future. #mo·dus op·e·ran·di
Sam runs and throws on the run very well….watch the games…..
