Searching for another Bobby Wagner-type in this draft. Maximizing value at the 5th pick. Will Levis over Anthony Richardson? And my "Fav 5" EDGE prospects. Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

With 3 weeks until the first round of the draft, the Seahawks are finalizing their draft board. Is Jalen Carter on it? He's trending on Twitter today.... let's talk about why.

Are the Raiders poised to throw a wrench into Seattle possible QB plans?

Bobby Wagner spoke with the media this week and divulged that he wants to retire a Seahawk. So is 2023 his swan song? And are there any ILB's in this draft who look like the "next Bobby?"

I'll unveil my "Fav 5" list at the EDGE position, which includes a couple day 3 sleeper-types you should keep an eye on.

Finally, with all the attention surrounding Anthony Richardson as a potential Seahawk target, what about Will Levis? There are reasons to believe John Schneider might just fall in love with the Kentucky QB above all others.

Mock Draft Monday - "To QB or not to QB?" That is the question! Mar 28, 2023

Show notes

It's the most contentious point of debate right now among Seahawks fans and draft nerds. Should they use the 5th pick in the draft on a QB or not?

Today, I compare two mock drafts side by side - one with QB being the choice at #5 and one without.

Which one do you like better? Can the Hawks still fill all their most pressing needs with enough dynamic talent to contend in the NFC if they choose to being the draft my selecting their quarterback of the future?

You be the judge!

Also - I give my take on whether the Seahawks should get involved in the Lamar Jackson discussions, and explore two potential trade-down scenarios.

How much COULD Seattle get in return if they slide back a few spots from the fifth pick?

Now that #54 is back in the fold, several key questions remain as the Seahawks are now just a month away from the NFL draft.

**With Wagner joining Devin Bush, where do they go from here at the LB position? I'll give you some of my favorite draft prospects that still fit.

**What does the team do now? There's no salary cap space left..... or is there?

**Update on Jalen Carter, is public perception about him changing? Do you feel differently about him being the pick at #5 now that his legal issues are behind him?
