Adam_Schefter Seattle traded 139, a fifth, for Leon Washington and the Jets 7th round pick. #nfldraft

Rich said some Jets fan with a Washington jersey jumped from the set when it was announced.

 

[timschochet]

On ESPN, they're saying Washington and White = Bush and White at USC.

For fantasy, the whole thing sucks.

Better situation than the one he has in NY this year I think.

*much* better. Washington is going to surprise if he's healthy.

Jets threw in a 7th rounder too.

so ######ed.

Enjoy Joe McKnight. He goes down easily, and tends to fumble. And he's not that fast. Other than that, he's OK.

I hope whoever they take is worth it...

 

[Sea Bass]

An impressive three days for the Hawks.

I'm actually a fan of McKnight. The dude catches better than most receivers and his first cut is one of the quickest I've seen. His speed is very adequate as best I can tell. He just seems to know how to keep separation as he moves through defenders. I can see big number from McKnight in PPR leagues.

This one is interesting. Do the NYJ have another kick returner?

Seems to me Leon and Forsett are very similar backs. Don't see LenDale as more than goalline guy.

 

[Mighty Mice]

Kyle Wilson should be the returner in NY. So, Leon was expendable in that role, and with the McKnight pick. I think Leon/Lendale become a useful RBBC for SEA. Forsett is good depth and JJ is gone. Leon could (should) surprise in ppr leagues.

Wilson / B Smith / Cotch is a PR... they'll be alright.Didn't they draft an RB to replace Leon

 

[cacksman]

Forsett should still be the #1 back in Seattle. But getting Washington and a 7th for a 5th is a steeeeeeeeaaaaaal.

If he comes back 90% of what he was, ill be a happy man.

thats the million dollar question - loved Leon in his prime but his value was all on speed and being elusive - that injury was awful last year - not sure he can return to form - if he does its a steal so good luck! Seattle had a good draft IMO - lets see what Pete learned in the NFL since his AFC East days!

Yup, bad injury but from what I've heard he is expected to be fully recovered. And Leon is a very hard worker. If he's back, I think he and White are the guys -- Forsett is nowhere near Leon's talent, though Forsett could be better than White.

 

[cacksman]

I don't understand why everyone thinks Forsett doesn't have talent. He was probably one of the only bright spots on the team last year, running behind a terrible line. He is a very good player.

Washington is a steal for that...crazy.I missed the McKnight pick...now it makes more sense. Nice pick.

Love Leon. Sneaky Pete is working wonders so far in this draft.

He's great if he doesn't get touched.
