Seattle Seahawks: October 2018 mailbag – Trades, Tedric, and DE’s
By Ed Stein
Q2) If the Seahawks make a trade before the deadline, what position should it be for?
Andrew Durant – If there was anything they need its a pass rush, but they have already given up almost half their draft picks for the next draft. Anything is possible, but if they decide to deal a player they only have Prosise and Wright to deal. No one would want Prosise and Wright is too valuable for the rest of the season.
Herb Nightingale – Go for the pass rush whether it is for an outside linebacker or defensive end. If Bruce Irvin is available, I go for him or someone like him.
Ed Stein – Starting with the positive, Seattle doesn’t need to make any changes on offense. However, Tre Flowers makes me nervous going down the stretch at corner. The Seahawks still have to go up against Matt Stafford, Philip Rivers, Jared Goff, Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton, and Pat Mahomes this year. I’d like to see Seattle trade for an experienced cover corner and move Flowers to the nickel.
If that can’t be done then the Seahawks need another edge rusher. They have to get pressure on the quarterback to take some heat off the corners. One way or another, Seattle has to find a way to help opposite Shaquill Griffin.
