Our Seahawks didn’t just win in Week Two, they flat-out embarrassed the Arizona Cardinals with a 31-7 clinic! And get this: that massive beatdown has the Cards already diving deep into the 2027 NFL Draft, with a top-three pick now staring them in the face, according to an updated mock after just two games.
Arizona’s Desert Disaster After a Week Two Smackdown
Can you even believe it? The season’s barely started, and Yahoo Sports’ Curt Popejoy already has Arizona penciled in for the third overall pick in 2027. This isn’t just about one game, though that 31-7 drubbing from our Hawks in Week Two definitely put their whole franchise on blast. Arizona’s coaches must be absolutely scrambling, because the chatter is they *have* to start scouting harder, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Losing that bad will do that to ya.
It gets even worse for them in the desert. Their cornerback, Will Johnson, could be sidelined for the *rest of the season* after suffering a big loss in Week Two. Talk about a brutal start! They’re apparently trying to ‘flush’ that first loss of the season, but when you’re getting smacked around by our Hawks and already dreaming of a top-three draft pick two weeks into the regular season, you know things are seriously broken.
Who’s the 2027 “Savior” They’re Eyeing?
So, who’s this potential ‘savior’ they’re supposedly banking on to turn things around in *2027*? Texas edge rusher Colin Simmons. This dude is a beast: 6’3” and 245 pounds, and he’s pushing hard to be the very best at his position in college football this year. His stats back it up, too. Across his first two seasons with the Longhorns, Simmons compiled a ridiculous 29.5 tackles for loss, 21 sacks, and six forced fumbles. And through three games this season, he’s already got 3.5 tackles for loss and two sacks, putting him right on pace to repeat those monster numbers.
He sounds like a total game-wrecker, no doubt. But you gotta ask, Emerald City: if a guy like Simmons is what they’re dreaming about *two years out*, what does that say about the state of the Cardinals *right now*? Our Hawks certainly exposed some gaping holes down there.
It’s a long season, no question. But when you’re getting absolutely curb-stomped early and pundits are already slotting you into the top three of a future draft, you know there’s some deep trouble brewing for the Cardinals. What do you all think, Seattle? Can a prospect like Colin Simmons actually change things for Arizona, or are they just destined for more brutal beatdowns after what our Hawks did to them in Week Two?
