Seahawks have pick 18 in 2025 NFL draft next month.
Should they stick and pick or move back? According to Rich Hill trade chart trading back from pick 18 to 28, should get you pick 60 (a late round 2 pick). Is that worth it? #seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks won 10 games with a first-year head coach, a 34-year-old QB, and missed winning the NFC West on the fifth tie-breaker.
Some will tell you this was not a successful season.

#seahawks Drafting good QB after rnd 1 is hard. In last 5 drafts 57 QBs selected. 38 drafted rnds 2-7. Of those maybe only Jalen Hurts and Brock Purdy better than Geno. That's 5.3% chance of hitting on a better QB when Drafting after round 1. @seahawksforever.bsky.social @corbinsmithnfl.bsky.social

Also note the Canadian university he went to, Saskatchewan is the same area David Seymour lived when working for his Atlas Canadian think tanks #Nzpol

#nzpol so I wonder how the Boomers feel about working hard thier whole life, paying tax and building a strong set of public services. Now to see the dismantling of the NZ public service through austerity. Surely they are as upset as younger generations. This must be ticking them off?

My top 5 priorities for Seahawks this off-season.
1. Extend Geno Smith
2. Sign a high-quality vet Guard.
3. Extend Ernest Jones
4. Draft potential starter interior O-Line
5. Replace Grubb
*i reserve the right to change my mind when the offseaon actually gets here.

NZ’s economy wasn’t in recession before the election. In the past 6 months the economy has dropped faster than any time since 1991 (excluding COVID). This is what the politics of austerity does. Nicola Willis and Christopher Luxon are clearly making things worse not better!

Do you want to know what a loss of hope looks like? This is the percentage increase in the number of people migrating away from NZ since the election. The 131,100 migrant departures in the October 2024 year are, provisionally, the highest on record for an annual period

With the Rams win today, that sets up a 3 team race for the NFC West. Going into week 17 could see 3 teams on 8 or 9 wins. Seahawks getting a home win against Green Bay or Minnesota is important. #azcardinals @ #laRams in wk 17, then #Seahawks @ Rams in week 18 look like season defining games.

It’s a dark day for research in Aotearoa New Zealand and the ramifications for the country are huge. Minister Judith Collins has just announced our blue-skies funder will no longer fund humanities & social science research and that 50% of what is funded must have economic benefit.
