hey uh this is not football related are you a golf fan at all do you like playing do you like watching it uh so I played when I was a teenager and then and was okay and then kind of went away from it and did other things and I’ve never gone back to it is one of it’s on my bucket list to learn to play golf properly and and competently get around a course but I take an interest in it I will definitely watch the final day of the Masters and um and look I I like Danny Willets from my part of the world so it was great when he won it a few years ago it wasn’t great for me that was the one I’ve I’ve been one time that was the year I went and freaking Danny Willet won and there’s nothing nothing against Danny Willet from your country but I was just like that was the year that spe collapsed on 12 so we were we were there we’re gonna see this guy go back to back and everybody’s rooting for Jordan Speed and we watched Danny Willl itwin and I’m like it was such a like a it was such a buzz kill uh yeah go ahead I was G to say it was the total opposite here because he won and then like three days later I’m interviewing a guy wearing a green jacket at his local course which is like five minutes from my house I’ve got a great picture of me and Danny Willet wearing the green jacket like two days after after he flow back yeah I’ll take it out and I’ll send it over to you oh

coming up no so I was talking to somebody about this earlier and they were saying like what do you do do you just sort of switch off because obviously my day job is just to talk about English soccer and then sort of my evening sort of second job is to talk about the Seahawks and the draft and because they are like my main interests in life anyway I don’t I don’t really want to switch off so kind of when I we go away I’m I’m you know spend time with the family but as soon as the kids are asleep it’s U I’m I enjoy writing like I it’s my thing so you know we’re in the room we’ve got to be there with the kids anyway I’ll go and chook an article out there when I was on the plane like seven hour flight home I’ve got nothing to do I’m not looking is there any films I want to watch no so I’ll do a four round M draft and then I did that so that’s just it’s just how I kind of kill my time I feel very lucky that I get to do what I love uh for a living and it’s it’s the best thing in the world and wife’s all on board with it uh she’s uh I don’t want to say it too loudly because she might hear but but yeah she is a superstar yeah she’s I don’t want to head get too big though like she just she’s completely on board with just how random um I will just want to do certain things and I can remember when when she gave birth to our uh second child um and and about six months later I was heading to Seattle to watch the Seahawks play so uh so she let me good one my friend you got she the best she I’m very lucky she’s the best you got a good one okay of course you can catch up Rob everywhere on on social media channels just uh go rob ston there on Twitter and also on YouTube sewra blog.com all right you got the latest mock draft so did you write this on the plane this thing this four round mock draft a Seahawks 7 rounder I mean this thing it’s unbelievable I I try to tell people all the time there is no one that is riding in Greater detail uh than you and it’s not you just didn’t do a mock draft Rob where where oh you we where everyone kind of just cherry-picks what everybody else is doing you’ve got trades like multiple trades everywhere uh this is incredible uh how long did it take you to write this whole thing so kind of what I tend to do is I’m always this is going to sound really sad but I’m always right in a mock draft like there’s always on my notes on my phone or on the laptop if I ever find myself you know with 10 minutes to kill I’m thinking about what could happen here you know what could this team do you know could the Vikings maybe stick and do something a little bit different than everybody’s thinking just trying to think of different scenarios because one it’s just it’s always kind of like fluttering around in my mind what’s going to happen in the draft what’s what are the seks going to do what are the other teams going to do and it kind of just helps me sort of feed that Beast a little bit by sort of doing mod drafts and then on the plane I was I I didn’t have any I didn’t intend to do a four round mod draft I just kind of sat there like say if there was a great film I would have watched a great film there was it’s not a great time for films I don’t think there was just nothing that I wanted to watch even though there was like a hundred films I was like no I don’t fancy any those so I started writing this you know just doing a mock draft in my head again you my my daughter’s falling asleep on me and I’m like kind of doing the M draft on the laptop and I thought you know I’m just going to I’m I’m just going to get my horizontal board out and I’m going to do a third round and then I did the third round and I thought yeah but I’ve done the trades and the silks I’ve kind of got two picks coming up so I want to do them so I just do a fourth round so the fourth round was done I’ve never done a fourth a four round mod before um I can tell that this is now going to be a thing that I’m GNA have to do every year so I’ve sort of opened the floodgates for that but I enjoy doing it and it’s there and you know when project SLE 130 odd players you’re going to get most of them wrong but I think it’s interesting to look through scenarios and look at what the Seahawks might actually do yeah all right we we’ll tell it I want to go we’ll go through the top 10 here in a second but I want you to go through what what do you have the Seahawks doing what what did you project in your Mock Draft Seahawks draft blog.com what do you got John Schneider and Mike McDonald doing there in the first round so I had them initially trading down with Arizona Revol teams and people might say well why would the Cardinals trade with the Seahawks in the same division but if anybody who’s watched the video with the the Cardinals GM from last year and his trade down that’s kind of gone viral on on X he was talking to John Schneider about potentially trading up to number five and then the seks just decided they were going to take Deon wther spot so these These Are teams that have taught in the past I don’t think it’s beyond the Realms of possibility that the seks would do a deal with the division rival they’ve done it with the ners a few years ago as well so I’ve got Arizona Trading up from 23 and pick they acquired from Minnesota this is already getting complicated isn’t it and the the Cardinals sort of moving up to Seattle’s pick to get ahead of Jacksonville to get Brian Thomas Jr to be their wide receiver number one because they need one of those guys so the seah end up at 23 and then they trade down again with Washington and because of the deals they kind of end up turning the 16 pick into number 36 number 66 and number 78 so it’s kind of like three picks instead of one yeah which you know I I genuinely believe this Puck and I’ve been saying this for a few weeks I think if Troy fanu is there or Tellus fagura is there the tackle from Oregon State from Washington I think they will take one of those two players they’re just just perfect fits but if neither of those players are their put I think that’s the trigger to trade down can the uh can the Oregon State guy fatano he can move inside can they both go inside and play guard yeah I actually think you know because I know a lot of people think fanu is a perfectly suited to kicking side I actually think faga is a better Prospect for guard than fanu I think fanu is the best left tackle in this draft he’s not this the prototype in terms of he isn’t six foot six but he has great length for a guy who’s 6’4 he’s incredibly aggressive very quick you know he does everything well you know he’s so balanced when he latches onto players he finishes his blocks you can get out on the move he fantastic in space his kick slides amazing I don’t see any flaws with this guy I think he’s going to go in the top 10 and if he lasts to number 16 I think the Seahawks will they will take him and I think they will seriously considerer playing him at right tackle because if Abel Lucas can’t go then that you know you’re picking him and you put him at right tackle fingers crossed because I love da Lucas coming out I hope a Lucas is is gonna is gonna have a long career in Seattle but you have to have a little bit of fear that he’s not going to be able to make it back well yeah maybe a good a good problem have right let let’s say Lucas isn’t ready let’s say there there’s something wrong with Lucas okay well then you got now you got your answer at right tackle you’re right fingers crossed Lucas is fine but then the fallback plan is move him inside I mean I I just think that sometimes I mean these offensive linemen they can move around they’re they’re so skilled nowadays they’re so much more athletic than they’ve ever been before that these I think these guys the interchangeable parts and playing different positions maybe I think you can do with guard and Tackle I mean obviously Center is kind of a center I know they slide inside play guard a little bit but just watching him play at least for me just watching him and not being some Scout and and breaking down film and all that he always looked like kind of a natural guard to me just his profile kind of looked like it so I think just in watching you know the Huskies play this year this past couple Seasons that he’d be a natural at it and we’ve talked about this before I think on the on the last part they we both kind of agree that I know it’s cliche about building and winning through the trenches but it’s so true it just is any all these teams that have this long sustaining success are all good up front and this is the area for this team in particular where they just have lacked out they’ve lacked out on both the offensive side and the defensive side you have to be able to go to in the big games you have to get a good teams pu and you’ve got to win in the trenches that’s it is a cliche but it’s one it’s one of those cliches that is absolutely Rings true you see it time and time again just look at the Super Bowl the ners were were on top in that game and were in control against the Chiefs because they were controlling the line of scrimmage it was only when they lost control the line of scrimmage and Patrick Mahomes started doing his thing that the game became a lot closer and in the end Mahomes was the Difference Maker but when the Niners had a grasp of that game it’s because they were winning up front on both sides of the ball the Seahawks have got to get back to that they’ve got to try and create an offensive line it doesn’t have to be like five first round picks but they’ve got to come up with an offensive line that can hit somebody in the face they’ve got to find a defensive line that can can create consistent pressure then I mean when’s the last time you watched the SEK defensive line really get after opponent unless it’s a really terrible opponent like the Giants last year and they can just Blitz like crazy and have eight sacks they don’t nobody fears the Seahawks in the trenches yeah and I think it gets back to can they like on the defensive side right can they get pressure like consistent pressure at the quarterback without having to send people that that to me that’s the difference maker with with the with the great teams and the good teams I mean the good teams they’ve got to send extra extra guys to get after the quarterback the great teams don’t have to do that I mean they’ll do it once in a while but the really great ones who are great up front they just got studs who can beat their guy one-on-one and then on the flip side offensively you know the one thing that I go back to the Super Bowl year is they have just for a long time have been missing on the offensive line front I think cross has it Lucas Lucas has it but maybe Lewis a little bit just an attitude and aggressiveness a physicality that they just want to drive you into the ground and fatano he’s got that I mean that that dude has got that that is his Mo and uh I think that’s what’s been lacking you know when you you mentioned going into a hostile environment you know when it’s third and one or third and two and I I just want I want the quarterback I want goino Smith to come on the hle and say we’re going to blow their ass off the line we need two yards can we do it and the offensive Line’s like yeah break the Huddle let’s go kick their ass and they they’ve been missing that it’s been too finessed and too too soft and I hope you know were they improving that line if they can in this draft Rob and also I think the addition of Scott Huff I we talk about Ryan grub I think we’ve talked a lot about Mike McDonald and all these new guys I bet you we’ll look back on this if this is a success this new regime and I think the sneaky best hire will be Scott Huff the offensive line coach yeah I I tend to agree with that and I think the point that you make about when it’s third and one I I just can’t help but think back to that Dallas game last year which was really close and I think they had third and one and fourth and one and they’re trying to make tricky little plays like where we’re going to have the we’re going to leave this guy we’re gonna leave Michael Parson’s unblocked whatever it was and try and throw it and it’s like you’re trying to deceive opponents here if you need one yard you should be able with your offensive line to go up there and say get us a yard in that running game you just hand it off you run behind your best block and you go and get it done and that’s what the Seahawks haven’t been able to do and yet the frustrating th book and this is one of the reasons why I think a few of us got very frustrated with the end of the Carol era was that they constantly talked about having a team that could do that and then either made decisions with Personnel to the contradicted the vision or they made decisions in game that contradicted the vision get back to that if you want to be you’ve hired the Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator you were stealing from the Harbor Tree do what they would do build this team the way that they’re going to build this team the four round M that I I did was with that in mind get back to sort of building your trenches on both sides of the ball trying to create a physical violent football team that’s the kind of football I want to watch as well I want to watch the quarterback throw it around and be fantastic if you can get a legendary quarterback who can come and Lead this team to a Super Bowl amazing but I also want to see a degree of violence there I want to see a phys I want teams to come to Seattle and hate every second that they’re on that field it used to happen every year and now I think team teams kind of come it’s a bit of a party for them you know they get the cigars out at the end it’s it’s been too easy for teams to come to Seattle they’ve got to get back to that nobody wants to play us everybody fears us and right now it’s hard to sort of look at any facet of this team and go there is an opponent out there that will be terrified of playing the Seahawks because they can do this they need to find what their identity is uh Rob stayen again it’s brought to you by Superior linen service Rob joins us every week talking Seahawks and talking NF of course the draft is right around the corner so on his mock draft that he just did seao draft blog.com please go read it also we’re going to we’re going to touch base on the guest uh column written by Curtis Allen G to get to that here in a second number one you got Caleb Williams of course the Bears taken him no surprise there number two though uh you go with Jaden Daniels over Drake May there for Washington why Jaden Daniels over may I think it’s a pretty easy decision when you watch jayen Daniels and I remember watching the first game of last season against Florida State and he didn’t play that well I thought n you know it’s just he’s not been able to take that next step and then I rude thinking that after one week because just as the time went on and you’re watching LSU week after week he just got better and better and better and then by the end of the season was virtually Unstoppable you know with his legs that he ran all over Alabama and Florida he was throwing the ball downfield with accuracy he was making people were saying oh he’s got Malik neighbors he’s got Brian Thomas Jr he was making the most of those those players as a deep ball thrower he was just a fantastic but he won the Heisman listen he was in Sensational form he has shown real development he’s a great athlete he’s going to be able to create with his legs and with his arm downfield he has no limitations in in terms as a passer or as a runner you know Lamar Jackson’s just won the MVP in the NFL and I think Washington will look at what he’s been able to do with Baltimore and say okay we can do something pretty similar with jayen Daniels he just seems to me like a shorer thing and a more spectacular player than Drake May who has got some physical tools I think they’re a little bit overblown when people compare him to Justin Herber and Josh Allen I don’t quite see that level of physical talent but his footworks all over the place he had some really bad games at the end of last season I think there are things to like about him some of the things he did put there was one play on tape last season where he is being tackled and as he is his knee is about to hit the turf he’s being thrown to the floor by a defensive lineman and he shovel passes the ball to the running back who’s next to him and he end they end up getting a first down for it that’s the kind of nonsense that Drake May is capable of he has got that kind of no no no no yes aspect that Brett fav had but there are lots of technical things that you just think that gives me pause for thought he’s probably going to need to red shirt for a year and work on that so for me it’s it’s Daniel’s second and then the Patriots have got a decision to make as to whether they’re going to take Drake May at number three right the um the one thing just quickly wrap up a Daniels for a second I I think for a lot of people out here on the West Coast and Pack 12 fans I think it’s hard to get on board with the LSU version of Jaden Daniels because all I remember is the ASU version of him and when I watch the ASU version I’m like no he wasn’t even like he was like the sixth quarterback maybe the seventh quarterback in the conference and so when there was this debate with the Heisman this year with him and penx I’m like dude penx is so much better but I’m also biased in my vision is of the ASU version not the LSU version of what Jaden Daniels turned into and I think you bring up a great point I think that his improvement from when he left ASU and then in his two years with LSU has just been remarkable and he’s made him himself a a hell of a player that now is going to likely be you know the second overall pick third overall pick I mean top five obviously the uh quickly on on number four you have a trade you have I love all the trades you’ve done this is the best cuz it’s just not cookie cut or mocked rap you’ve got the Minnesota Vikings moving up to number four to select who JJ McCarthy who I’m not I you know I’m not I I I wouldn’t do this and this PO in the last in the last mod draft that that I did I pitched a different scenario and I want to throw this out there because then if it happens I’ll look great and if it no one will remember this we’ll praise you for anything you get right we ignore anything that anybody else gets wrong all the time that’s what we do here so I just wonder a little bit whether because initially it seemed obvious they’ve gone and got the 23rd pick of Houston because they want to trade up pu I just wonder is there any possibility that they could have a different quarterback in mind and that I get this there’s a bit of a rumbling out there that they really like Byron Murphy they had him in the defensive tackle from Texas for a meeting this week are they better off spending three first round picks on McCarthy or spending on three first round picks to make sure they get Michael penck and Byron Murphy for me it’d be a Nob brainer to Come Away with penx and Murphy and making sure that you get those two players with your two picks and if you have to give up next year’s first so be it then giving up three first round picks for JJ McCarthy who is a major question mark and people have forgotten about all of those question marks because the intangibles are so good but it looks as if he’s going to go fourth overall so good look to him you know it’s weird with I think with him I think the version of you that you see of him like in the playoff games in all the games this year right they never really leaned on him all that much fantastic offensive line running game defense Superior and there was never like well maybe there was one for you I’m I’m just trying to think back on the Michigan games I don’t ever remember like a a wow moment or the JJ they always say the Heisman moment remember the JJ J McCarthy Heisman moment again Michigan fans watching or listening to this right now are like uh well I can give you 15 of them but again just maybe in my limited viewing of him I don’t remember that that moment but I mean you know you hear about everything the teammates love him the leadership qualities I I mean I’ll be honest with you I think as his stock Rises I think the way he looks and acts he’s very charismatic the smile he’s got the quarterback look right guy comes off the bus he looks like the quarterback I think some of that that plays into this a little bit with McCarthy but we shall see maybe maybe Rob that that he is a really good quarterback and it’s just that Harbaugh and Michigan didn’t hand over the offense to him because they just thought hey we’re just so dominant running the game we we don’t need him to be like this um maybe it’s a comp I know they’re I maybe they’re two separate players but remember Herbert in college like Herbert and college didn’t do a lot now because chrisal just ran the ball all the time I don’t know if that’s a fair cop because they don’t play the same way but I’m just maybe the play calling just kind of dictated what they wanted to do it’s undoubtedly true that they never truly felt they had to put a game on him yeah the only thing is is if they were if the Vikings were fourth overall and they took a chance him I think you could say well why not you take a chance to him fourth overall whatever it’s a bit Rich from my liking but they take him it’s the fact that you are you are mortgaging your next draft as well you’re spending three first round picks on the guy that’s what makes me worry it’s it’s not so much about taking a chance on him it’s if I’m spending three first round picks on a guy I want to have seen him in college win a game of football off his arm and we haven’t seen that yeah you got romad dun going number six ad dun U is just fantastic I mean I just love everything about ROM Odun he’s just I mean Marvin Harrison’s great too but there’s just something different about Odun and of course we’re probably bias out here just because we we watch them a little bit more uh I’ll quickly go down 13 Michael Pennock going to Las Vegas I love I love this fit for him I love it because you’d mentioned Minnesota as well potentially I love Michael penck going to a spot where he’s indoors Fast Track doesn’t have to deal with the weather and just can let the ball fly everywhere I so I like I like that fit with the Raiders well it’d be great for him because like you say he gets to go indoors he gets to throw to Devonte Adams who funly enough you know and it’s maybe it’s a bit Rich to say that radun has some of the similar traits to Devonte Alam but I think he does so you know you and and penck just every time he saw adun one V one I’m going there Devonte Adams would love playing with this guy and then you know I I think it would be a really good fit you know they they do have some pieces on defense as well so I I think it’d be a fantastic fit for him and I and I don’t think he’s going to get I I think he’s going to go in the top 15 I think one way or another pennx is going to be off the board by the time Seattle’s on the clock yeah what do you want out of this draft like and I guess you and I guess I can even answered and I guess fans can answer this as well if you’re watching on YouTube you can leave a comment uh below what do you want out of this for in order to get them out of this rut that they’ve been in here the last few years I want to come out of this draft feeling like they may have found it’s not even about the first pick for me I want to see them come out of this draft with a handful of players that I think okay this is not just padd in the roster out these are players that can be contributors and I know it’s it’s easy to say oh well we didn’t nobody thought that about Richard Sherman or nobody thought that about cam chancer or whatever back in the day but I kind of feel that’s that’s the type of thing the silks need to do now they’ve had two really decent drafts in the last two years with all of this stock from the Russell Wilson trade and it doesn’t feel like it’s tilted the Seahawks towards being any more of a contender than they were they’ve kind of just added a bunch of decent players I want to see them go and find somebody in the third round or the fourth round like when the Raiders went and got Max Crosby in the fourth round somebody who you get and you bring them in like you did with Sherman and Cam and people like that Russell Wilson who end up being top top players for you and you’ve not necessarily had to take them in the first round that’s that’s what I want to see that’s my real Hope from on this draft but also I just want to see a nastiness and an edge to the Seahawks I want to you know I want them to build up the trenches i’ accepted that they’re not going to find where they’re picking the quarterback of the future in this draft so that so my next big thing pocket to just come out of it feeling like the Seahawks have taken a step forward and that may be sticking and picking and just taking someone who is that good up front who the rest of the NFC West are going to go ah and I love the idea of getting a defensive lineman who could do that right at the same time that the Niners have lost Eric Armstead and the Rams have lost Aaron Donald can the Seahawks be the team that has the great defensive line in this division moving forward I’d love to sort of see that as the identity of Mike McDonald Seahawks amazing dline taking control of the line of scrimmage moving forward I’d love to see that but I do think that their focus it may be on the offensive line because they’ve not done as much there the uh in the in Rob’s latest mock draft up again at Seahawks draft blog.com where again we’re going to mention all these players so when they do draft these guys we Circle back around and Rob gets a bonus for every one of these guys that he hits now if he doesn’t hit him we don’t mention it again we just we bypass it and we move on third round tell me about Christian Haynes the guard out of Connecticut you don’t see a lot of guys coming out of Connecticut you know what I mean you don’t and there was something really good with him is I actually went and watched Yukon against Michigan last year and they lost I think it was something like 57-0 and this guy they were like is Mora still the coach there yes okay uh they they were 42 zero down and the at the end of the third quarter and Christian Haynes is still playing that game like it’s it’s 60 and I just love that about him and that’s how he was physical aggressive set the tone up front good on the move an athlete I think he ran like a 503s explosive had a good jump in the in the broad of the vertical I which one it was one of them was better than the other he has he went to the Senior Bowl put on a good showing I just think he is a plug and play guard who has got all of the characteristics that you want in a really good offensive lineman and there’s going to be a a run on that on the guard position at the end of the second and the start of the third where Cooper BB is going to go Christian Haynes is gonna go Dominic puny at Kansas is gonna go and and I think Zach ziner will go in that range from Michigan as well I think it’s really important if the Seahawks want to get a guard without necessar a go first round puck or or drafting anybody to kick inside they’ve got to get a pick between 65 and 75 to make sure that they get one of those guys and that means trading down from number 16 there’s uh in in in all the scenario that Rob’s done there’s there’s a bunch of trade so they’ve acquired a pick in in his Mock Draft so like three I think it’s three in the third round you got Theo Johnson the tight end out of Penn State 78th and then the 81st one let’s talk about Dom Hampton a safety a safety out of washingt why do you think that if if they were to go safety route in Hampton is it why do you think Hampton would fit in what McDonald likes to do with his system I like this pick a lot for the silks I think there’s a there’s a decent chance that they they’re going to end up taking him because when you look at McDonald’s defense it is about having players who can line up in many different spots and you never know what they’re going to do on defense he played a load of deep safety uh snaps last year he played a lot in the slot he can play in the Box he even took some snaps at cornerback he is that chess piece that you want at safety without costing you like a top 50 pick he is physical I asked somebody at Washington who I know tell me about this guy and he said do you know what he was probably the most important player on that defense and nobody understood it because it was such an important role he had to be disciplined he had to sort of know what the opponent was going to do he had to get everything in order and he did it perfectly he’s he was the other way he was described to me was is a quiet killer and you do see that when he hits people you know he he’s a he’s a blunt force attacker he will hit people with his tackling his tackling is good I just and and when you look at his physical testing it’s not too dissimilar in terms of size speed explosiveness to Kyle Hamilton I I think the Seahawks are going to need to get somebody like that for this defense to do what Baltimore did but I don’t think they need to do it like a lot of people think by going and getting Cooper Dee who’s never played bloody safety in the first round you can go and get this guy in the in the third round instead or the fourth round I think he’s a terrific player let me um let’s uh let’s talk about uh the piece that you have up there also at Seahawks draft blog.com a guest piece Curtis Allen who wrote that not the former Washington uh basketball player and assistant coach a different Curtis Allen and he wrote up there about uh and the title of it was hey this isn’t the time to draft a quarterback like it’s I’m I’m happy if they pass on a quarterback they shouldn’t do it and why well actually the piece really is shouldn’t draft the quarterback and maybe why they should he gives two different opinions on it where where do you stand on them potentially drafting a quarterback in this year’s draft p until they have somebody that we can refer to as the guy they have to try and find the guy they have to and this is why I think they’ve had bonix and Spencer rler in this week the two quarterbacks who may be available to them depending on what they do you have to know what every class is offering and you have to turn over every stone until you find the franchise quarterback you are I I just I know there are always teams and people will always say what about Nick FES and the Eagles and what about the fact that Brock p you haven’t got Kyle Shanahan so forget about finding Brock pie in the seventh round you are going to have to draft at some point somebody who can get you into a battle with another great quarterback and win that game with a fourth quarter throw or a drive or whatever it is to get the job done they’ve got to find essentially what they had when they were you know winning Super Bowl which was they have to find their next Russell Wilson so they’ve got to try and do it if that player is available to them whether it’s at 16 81 day three take that guy you you can’t you can’t go oh they’ve already traded for Sam H how somebody sent me a message saying they can’t draft a quarterback because they they’ve kept Gino and they’ve traded for Sam howal so that’s it now if John Schneider sees a quarterback there he loves there’s absolutely no way he’s gonna go but we’ve got Sam how he’s going to draft that guy and so he should they that is the number one need for this team until they address it and if you can’t address it then you you look at the trend in your move and and focus on that but they have got to draft a quarterback this year or next yeah I just don’t want them to I don’t want them to feel I I’m with you I want them to get a quarterback they’ve got to find a quarterback for the future I don’t want them to sit there and make like some type of mistake maybe in this year’s draft we like oh we’ve got to do it i’ I’ve always wanted to do it and and Pete Carol didn’t let me draft a guy and then now I’m gonna grab this guy in the whatever round and then they’re like well maybe that wasn’t really the good fit I mean it’s got to be and I know this sounds stupid because uh obviously but it’s got to be the right guy and it’s got to be the right fit and it just can’t be making a pick just for the sake of we need to draft a quarterback but I I’m with you I think we’re all in agreement I think most seak fans are in agreement that they need to find a quarterback of the future for this football team all right uh before we let you go we have two weeks what for the draft next week we’ll hit the draft even harder with you uh let everybody know what he got up at Seahawks draft blog.com right now
