Seattle would have called Jax (Error #50)


Callahan acts surprised he got Jags pick. Dumb!!! They would have ALOT more to offer and would have contacted them also!! God this movie was BAD!!!!!

I was thinking that also. You have to realize they were fine going into the draft without getting bo. They were 1 pick away from getting him for "free" why call up Jacksonville and offer up a pick for a guy you didn't even plan on getting and were fine without getting him.

Don't forget the GM for Jacksonville was young (they made sure to include that in the movie). Maybe he panicked.

Sadly if the Jaguars' front office weren't this stupid in real life, I could find so much more to complain about in this scene.

Seattle was sitting there with Callahan falling to them. They waited instead of reacting, it happens

cosner called jax 2 picks away from them being on the clock. he got to them first. now if jax was on the clock and seahawks wanted bo then, a bidding war for the pick would of worked. But that didnt happen

That's a good point. But ignores that Seattle would have contacted the third or fourth drafting teams and offered to switch picks with them and toss in another first rounder (that they got from the Browns). That way those teams would have picked up another number 1 just for sliding 3 or 4 positions.

The Seattle GM is no fool, he had the leverage of the draft picks from Cleveland and would have used them, particularly knowing that Jacksonville sought a quarterback. He would have beaten them to the punch.

I don't get why they thought that the Jags would trade #6 for 3 #2's when they needed a QB. Especially with Seattle having 5 number 1's over the next 3 years that they could trade. Jags would've called up Seattle in an instant for the #7 pick and a future #1 if they didn't want Callahan.

I think everyone was thrown off their game when Callahan didn't get the first pick. They were all thinking Sonny knew something they didn't, and they had already decided who they were going to try to get, since they weren't expecting Callahan to be available. In a situation like that, minutes would really make a difference in making decisions and seeing opportunities.

Seattle would have called picks 2 on as soon as Cleveland passed on Bo... One of those teams (since they had no intention on taking Bo) would have jumped at pick #7 & a #1 next year in a heartbeat (especially since either Cleveland's or Seattle's should be pretty high next year)
