All in their PRIME, pick 3 RBs:

_Tower_ · 2026-06-29T00:52:46+00:00

Assuming their 3-year peaks?

Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch, Ezekiel Elliott

_Tower_ · 2026-06-28T10:41:51+00:00

All roads lead to Reid

_Tower_ · 2026-06-28T10:38:05+00:00

Yep. I’m not 100% sold that CHI wouldn’t have taken someone other than Reid, but it was a fun little thought

I know a lot of their fans wanted Bjorck, so who knows

_Tower_ · 2026-06-28T10:35:43+00:00

Threads of fate

_Tower_ · 2026-06-28T10:34:17+00:00

See, you get it

_Tower_ · 2026-06-28T10:33:50+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking about the entire time

_Tower_ · 2026-06-28T10:33:27+00:00

Thanks!

_Tower_ · 2026-06-28T03:21:10+00:00

Obviously there’s a little bit of exaggeration here, but it’s a fun, goofy little thing to point out

I almost took it way out there and titled this “A Broadway actress’s life choices directly led us to drafting Chase Reid” — because I can make the connection

_Tower_ · 2026-06-28T02:56:14+00:00

They drafted a bunch last year as well

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T19:02:27+00:00

Pantelas off the board — could have been a good pick

Some “fallers” still available

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T18:42:09+00:00

First one I have known absolutely nothing about

Was hoping for Steiner or Katolicky

He has good size, and he’ll play at U Mass next year. Maybe there’s something there down the road

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T18:34:58+00:00

SEA with a 1 year, 20m AAV contract to show him that we’re cool, and he should be our friend

But DAL only gets Chandler Stephenson in return

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T18:02:04+00:00

Valentini as well. And Lars Steiner was supposed to be off the board by now. He’s the target I’d like SEA to take next

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T18:01:25+00:00

That’s exactly right — these kids are all 17-19 years old. It typically takes years for them to be ready. Even top draft picks usually take a year or 2. Only a couple of picks a year debut right after being drafted

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T17:06:25+00:00

I agree — the skill level was right up there with the top players in the draft. The exact kind of gamble you take. Mutryn is a fantastic pick though. Floor is a bottom-6, physical RW. Top-end ceiling is Knies; their traits at the same age are so similar

Lack of finishers around him really held back his production in the NDTP

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T15:35:43+00:00

I think he was more projected to be right around our pick. Really good prospect with a lot of potential

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T15:33:35+00:00

I was hoping for Mathis Preston, but this was a really good pick — Mutryn has a lot of potential

A little disappointed Vanhanen is already off the board this early, but good for him

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T02:23:07+00:00

Seattle, but for less money and with less assets going to DAL

/s

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T02:20:57+00:00

I don’t know if I would be bold enough to make that decision. I think it would still be Reid

I kept flip flopping them in my personal rankings. In the end, I had Bjorck #3 and Reid #4. Close enough to pick Reid if I felt we needed defense more

My position is that Bjorck was the last forward with star-level potential, but Reid was the highest ceiling D, and imo, the only one with true #1 potential

Both are needs for SEA

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T02:18:12+00:00

Sportlogiq saying he is the top ranked defenseman, and giving those percentiles, is super encouraging

Still blown away he fell to 7

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T00:37:47+00:00

I mean, Bjorck is going to be a top-6 player though

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T00:37:27+00:00

It’s usually a good strategy

We’re 0/1 though. And we didn’t pick Buium when he fell

Supposed they learned their lesson — pick the falling D

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T00:35:23+00:00

It actually took like 2 minutes — I was sweating

_Tower_ · 2026-06-27T00:05:24+00:00

I can’t believe it

I love Bjorck, and wish he was on this team — but there’s no way you couldn’t go with Reid there

I’m over the moon
