Seahawks To Give Up 2012 Fifth Round Pick to Buffalo, According to Reports

PrintThe Seahawks will give up their fifth round pick this year to Buffalo as part of the 2010 Marshawn Lynch trade, according to the Bills' official website (and pointed out by Danny O'Neil). The Hawks originally traded for Marshawn Lynch for a 2011 4th Round pick and an undisclosed 2012 pick. It was speculated to be a 5th or 6th Round pick, but apparently Lynch hit a playing time benchmark this season that made it a 5th.
Buffalo traded Lynch to the Seattle Seahawks a few weeks into the 2010 season for a pair of draft choices, one in 2011 and one in 2012. They used their fourth-round pick last spring to take OT Chris Hairston. Their other pick was a conditional sixth-round pick that could improve to a fifth-round draft choice based on Lynch's playing time for the Seahawks.
Buffalobills.com has learned that the league has confirmed the draft choice for the Bills has improved to a fifth-round pick. That pick will be 11th or 12th in round five based on the outcome of the league coin flip to determine whether Kansas City or Seattle will pick 11th in round one, with the two clubs alternating by round thereafter.
Not super surprising considering Lynch's playing time and success this season, but stings a bit. The Seahawks have had a lot of success in the 5th round these past two seasons, picking up Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman. In my opinion, if anything, the escalation from a 6th to a 5th in this case just makes it more likely that the Seahawks will be trading back in this year's draft, at least once, to pick up another pick or two.

I already had kinda come to the conclusion that we were going to try and trade back
Now I think we may trade all the way out of the first.

There's great options at #11 or #12 this year..
I imagine an ET-type prospect will land in our laps and make this an easy decision.
I’d even take Blackmon at #11/12 if we can’t land anyone on defense..
Ka-Kaaa!
I agree that there will be guys available there that would equal the value of the pick
But based on multiple statements and my own opinion, I think if we can’t get our pass rush three tech, or a QB that deserves that slot, we will trade back to get more picks. The thought being that they will fill those positions with later picks and get the guys we want at the appropriate value level.
So I agree, there will be good value there, I just don’t think it will be at a position that we are looking to fill.

Last year they tried to trade back...
…but were unable to find a good match, I’m sure they constantly look for good options to trade back but aren’t afraid to take their guy early if that is their only option.

I think last year that had a trade setup with Chicago
but talks fell through. I also heard two teams (including Green Bay) were crestfallen after Carpenter was taken.

compensatory pick
I think the Hawks might get a mid round compensatory pick. I believe Hasselbeck signed for more than all of Seattle free agent signings last year. In addition Seattle lost the reserve linebacker and the kicker for fairly good salaries.
but in contrast, we picked up Rice, Miller and Gallery who should more than offset
our free agent losses in the view of the compensatory pick committee, especially since Lofa never latched on to a team.

Performance, playing time, and a lot of factors are important in the comp system too.
Plus, who in hell knows what our net gain/loss is of players last year?
I'm sick
of giving other teams our draft picks and getting nothing for our trades (like Curry).
We got beast mode
Winning

A++++++, will trade again
Running back arrived in better condition than described. Seller was kind enough to keep the baggage. Seller even provided NFL training in real NFL games before the running back was shipped.

So you don't think that he was worth roughly a high fourth round pick
I don’t know how you get much better value than that.

Just don't whine about
Not having enough draft picks so we need to trade back.

Trading back
I’m all for it, as long as we don’t pass up on quality player like Upshaw, Ingram or Richardson… If these 3 are gone, yes trade back if you can and get more picks… would love to get an extra 2nd rounder at least.
2nd round is also option in trading back, so don’t get discouraged if they keep the 1st pick and get say Upshaw, and use 2nd round to trade back with to get more picks.
John Schnider worked long & hard to bring us a pro-bowl running back for cheep. Well done!
I hope he’s doin’ push-ups right now in preparation to go after Matt Flynn. Watching him in his first start on utube sold me. With-out a doubt . I don’t care that GB has a great offense or any other ifs ands or buts this kid is going to be a winner.

Cheap not cheep

Watching the Seahawks is like peeing on yourself, everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling it brings

It also violates the rules of the website.
Just sayin’s all I’m sayin’.
Eternally looking forward to someone making a Seahawks song based off of Lil' Jon's "Shots" song named "Hawks!"
Trading back logic
In order to trade back, there has to be a player that another team covets enough to trade up for him. Ergo, a good player, like Richardson. Provided we re-sign Lynch, and win the coin toss with KC so we’re picking 11, trading with Cincy so they can take Richardson at 11 makes a ton of sense. They get their trifecta (Dalton, Green, Richardson) and we get their picks 17 and 53. At 17, if DeCastro is still there, maybe trade with Detroit so they get their OG and we get picks 23, 86 and 150.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love Richardson or DeCastro in Seahawks blue, but you’ve gotta pass on something worthwhile to gain something worthwile. Under this scenario, we wind up recouping the 5th we lost in the Lynch deal, and an additional 2nd and 3rd as well. Feel free to fantasize about what Carroll and Schneider could do with those.
Either scenario would put a spring in my step for sure.
"The time has come," the Walrus said, "to talk of many things."
Richardson's wonderful
But when you already Lynch, and you have so many other glaring needs, I don’t see him coming to Seattle. I’d rather see a QB or pass-rusher, or a trade-down.
If Richardson's on the board for us
Then there will definitely be plenty of trade partners.

Yeah. Way too flashy
I mean, it’s not like we’ve spent the last few season signing a new high-profile wide receiver or anything.
Right?
Still, I agree. When we still have a laundry list of needs, it’d be foolish to spend a 1st round pick on another RB when we have a perfectly good one (or two) to whom we gave a new lease on life.

Don't trade back
I think that the Hawks are on the verge of challenging for the division next year.This year is going to be the best draft position we have for a while.Eventually you have to take a gamble with the next years picks.This is the time to trade with a team that is still willing to gamble that our 1st round pick next year will still be a high pick.Trade with Minnasota for RGIII.
Our Defence is solid,the O-line is set for sometime, and the run game is the strength of our team.I say take a stab at the blue chip prospect at QB.
I like the idea
but any trade up to #3 is going to have to happen on draft day and after the #2 pick is made. If we trade up to #3 before the draft that is going to push Stl even more to trade their pick to a team like Washington or Cleveland to keep us from getting RGIII.

Now at a cost of a 4th and a 5th round pick for 1.6 seasons,
I think it is incumbent upon this team to make sure a contract gets done with Marshawn, or assign the franchise tag. Team has the opportunity to have a top 10 back with no more cost in draft capital. The cost to find a replacment will likely be more money and/or more draft picks.
I don’t think re-signing Marshawn to a contract precludes drafting RIchardson if he is the guy sitting there at 11/12.
Smashmouth is the new sexy!
Biggest difference between Marshawn and Alexander
is that Lynch isn’t near as injury prone. And he still has years ahead to run ever harder behind an ever-improving line. I say pay the man and let him roll in a vat of Skittles in a haze of sugary orgasmy bliss for the rest of the offseason.

That's because when Marshawn finishes a run he drives his body into the soft underbelly
of the opposing defensive players, unlike Shaun who drove his body into the unforgiving turf.
