2025 draft class rookie season prediction contest $$$

Ouzts is actually listed as a FB along with Brady Russell on the Seahawks website, so perhaps PFR would list him as a starter in any game where he is the primary fullback. I'll have to try to find a similar player that was on a team last year and see how many starts PFR credited them with. But i will definitely be changing my prediction there.

Me too, and I am starting to doubt my snap count total for him too. Especially after seeing that Darnold is inept throwing the football!

Sorry, I couldn't help it. I realize it is INCREDIBLY early, and it seems he has had some good moments. But when I hear that he looks anxious and isn't setting his feet? It reminds me of Same Ol Sam. Watching him against Detroit and their depleted defense, and then in the first round against the Rams? Horrific.

Patrick Ricard of the Ravens seems like the best comparison to Ouzts as he is a big guy (played D line in college) with limited ball skills. This table shows his snap totals over his pro career along with games vs starts...

For comparison, here's the same table for Kyle Juszczyk who is a more traditional type FB (was actually drafted as a RB)...

Patrick Ricard..."pancake Pat". It's always interesting to me to consider Ravens strategies. The Seahawks are like the Ravens of the west

It seems like they're trying to be the Ravens but the roster talent just isn't the same.

I have changed my prediction for Ouzts from 0 starts to 7 starts, and from 243 O snaps to 324 O snaps.

Just curious, but what date approximately do you guys think makes the most sense to set as a deadline for making changes to our predictions? I was thinking perhaps one week before the season opener.

One week before works for me.

I know you'll all want to mark this on your calendars.
