Well it's done. D-Jack is a 49er now. Not sure what this actually accomplishes, besides the obvious. I guess it pulls one receiver out of the Hawks logjam of talented players. But I think I would have rather traded him to one of the worst teams in the NFL and only asked for a 7th round pick...just not to a divisional rival. Hawks President Tim Ruskell says it'll be all right. And generally, that would be enough because Ruskell has had a bit of the Midas Touch in Seattle. I just hope he knows something we don't. Maybe it's the little bit of the T.O. personality in D-Jack, that has stayed out of the press, that'll be his downfall and the Hawks got the most bang for their buck. Maybe it's the case of an aging receiver (he's only 29 and says he's got 5 more good years in him) or his knee will keep on deteriorating. I don't know. Ruskell has the answers. He's talking this afternoon. I'll post it on the web when the tape gets back in house. So you can check it out on king5.com 2 Comments |
Good Luck DJACK! I personally am sad to see him go. He's got a lot of talent. Even with the missed games he 2as 3rd in the NFL in TD receptions. I'm calling it now, SF is going to fight us for the division lead all season and DJACK is going to be money for them. I have a Djack signed football here in my office. I'll be rooting for him.
Was D-Jack really that much of a cancer to the team that the Hawks needed to trade him to a division rival, improving the 'Niners immediately? And for a fourth round pick? My God, he's led the team in receiving how many years in a row? What was is that Hasselbeck said about the special connection they had on the field? Yes, I know they have a plethora of talent at the position with arguably five guys who could be starters in the league, but this deal just stinks. Unless, like you say, Ruskell knows something we don't...
Next question is, what the heck were they thinking during this draft? They picked up two defensive backs and two receivers, two of the deepest squads on the team! Their biggest need is a tight end, which they didn't address; thier next biggest need is an OG, which they waited until the fourth round to address by picking up a converted DT.
Almost everything Ruskell has done prior to this draft worked out in spades, but sitting here today this looks like the worst draft in Seahawks history combined with one of the wost trades in Seahawks history. I hope I'm wrong.
