What happened to my ¤cash?
They did. Not going to lie, I’m OK with the pick if not JSN. The front office must be OK with the WRs they picked up. I’m less so.

20th for the first WR to be called is crazy to me. And agree in spades. They should have to do time in a federal pound you in the ass prison for that kind of theft.

Ex-Ohio State wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba making strong impression with Seattle Seahawks
Former Ohio State wide receiver and Seattle Seahawks rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba eased his way into the intensity of the NFL. While he has fully recovered from a hamstring injury that forced him to miss all but three games in his final college season, the Seahawks did not push him early on during offseason workouts in an attempt to prevent further injury. By the end of Seattle’s workout program last week, Smith-Njigba was full-go.“It’s tough, but I was just having fun just being out there with the guys, playing football again,” Smith-Njigba said. “It was fun. I wanted to do more, but I knew my time was going to come, and it did. I got to compete against these guys and got to do full practices and full speed, so it’s been great.
“I think we did it the right way. I appreciate the training staff and coaching staff for doing that. It’s been a long time since I’ve really been out there, so I feel like we did it the right way, and I appreciate them slowly building me up.”
Smith-Njigba made a strong impression on his coaches and teammates when he finally took the practice field as a full participant.
“Oh, man, he’s really, really natural,” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said. "He’s really a natural athlete, gifted in his timing, in and out of breaks and things and his feel. He also has, which we saw this in the (pro day) workout at school, he’s got great change of direction in him, and he’s got this marvelous ability to get in out of his turns. And his hands are just as natural as can be. He’s really a bright football player too, it makes sense to him. We’ve already moved him all around, he’d been inside, outside and all kinds of stuff. And so that looks like it’s just what we were looking for.”

“He’s come in and he has treated it like he is a vet already,” Metcalf said. “He knows how to run routes, his body and how to catch. It’s really just teaching him the playbook. He's already ahead of the curve of learning the technique that Sanjay (La) is teaching. He’s just fitting right in with the drills and with the plays that we’re calling.”
“I think he’s going to be phenomenal, man,” Lockett said. “It’s always hard just being able to get adjusted when you first come in. But the way he runs routes, the way he’s understanding the way that Sanjay coaches, the sky’s going to be the limit. I think he’s going to be really good at all the things that we want him to be able to do. I’m excited to be able to go out there and work with him. Even though you’re a vet, you can still learn from the young guys too. So it’s always being able to teach each other stuff and iron sharpening iron and just helping each other be better to win.”

Lawd what could have been last year with JSN. Would have been beautiful to see. Better set of receivers than several NFL rosters (…bears ahem)…Doubt we lose to GA if JSN was still on the field when MHJ went out.

Yeah, bummer he decided not to play out the end of the season. Aside from hurting the team, he probably cost himself some real money in the Draft...probably a top 10 pick if he plays in the ttun/UGA games. But Seattle is a great landing spot for him imo, might actually be a positive to not go to a team like the Bears...Metcalf will draw most of the attention at first and will leave JSN more opportunities to make plays.

Agreed and no Ill will to JSN…he tried to get back on the field and after nagging injuries he decided to shut it down. He made a business decision and I respect that. I am excited to see how he develops as a pro. I think he’ll end up having a great NFL career…

I've been overly harsh on JSN not playing the last couple of games, I got pretty pissed when he decided not to play in The Game and the CFP. That decision might have been a result of him trying to rush getting back on the field, and realizing he could hurt himself worse for no paycheck. Whatever it was, I hope he kills it in Seattle and it's not my career to decide on.

The aren’t just players ..they are really corporations and it’s more business decisions than competitive decisions. It sucks, but generational wealth trumps everything.
