The Seahawks made a transaction this week that hit a lot of Seahawks fans hard. Doug Baldwin, along with Kam Chancellor, were released from the team with a failed physical designation. The guys talk about what Baldwin meant for the Seahawks in his career and how he'll be missed for a little while, but Adam seems to think he's not gone for good. It could be that both Brandan and Adam are in Baldwin retirement denial.

There was some good news, however, as Seahawks free agency appeared to start this week with Ziggy Ansah being signed to the team along with another veteran defensive lineman Al Woods. Ansah is a former Pro Bowl player who has fought through some injuries the past few seasons and let go by the Lions after suffering an injury during the season he played under the franchise tag.

Seattle may have even found their new third string quarterback with Geno Smith coming in for a visit this week amidst reports that he is expected to sign with the team.

Thanks to DCH and to Dustin this week along with other thank yous this week. Adam is on travel, so we get to hear about his latest airline misadventures in the Do Better segment along with a Miami Dolphins running back who is leading the NFL in an offseason stat that is going to be tough to break. Better at life honors this week go to a group from Adam's airline misadventures and to, now a former Seahawks receiver, Doug Baldwin.

Adam Emmert and Brandan Schulze take a look at the Seahawks 2019 Draft Class and all 11 picks from General Manager John Schneider and Head Coach Pete Carroll. With about a week to go before the draft, the Seahawks had a franchise low four picks, by the time the day was complete they were just one pick short of having the most selections of the entire draft (the Vikings had 12).

The guys talk about which picks they're most excited about, which ones might be the most likely to surprise us, and listen in to some of the best phone calls from the first couple days of the draft. While there were some obvious themes to the draft, Adam points to one that is a little more under the radar, but when you hear some of the interviews with the players, it becomes pretty clear that the Seahawks were looking beyond what they saw on the field from their players.

After looking at Seattle's draft, Adam talks about the quarterbacks from the draft as part of his annual breakdown of who he thinks will succeed in the NFL. Tune in to find out who is behind a portable power station that needs to do better, along with the rankings that say the Seahawks didn't get enough “value” in the 2019 draft. Better at life honors this week go out to the Arizona Cardinals as the Seahawks GM for the magic that they both made during draft season.

With only four selections going into the 2019 NFL Draft and looking at the prospect of paying defensive end Frank Clark upwards of $20 million per year, the Seattle Seahawks made a move this week.  It's a move that increases the number of picks in 2019 to five, the add a second round pick in 2020, and they save about $17 million against the salary cap by making the move.

But it creates a hole that Seattle will need to fill either through the draft or free agency. Brandan Schulze and Clinton Bonner talk about the trade, how it impacts the draft, and which players in free agency that Seattle could get to fill behind Clark. 

Having two draft picks at the end of the first round gives them options now to either stay put with the 21st pick overall or move back and compile picks in the second and third rounds where there is a lot of depth to help fill positions of need for Seattle.

In what has become an annual tradition, Dave Bloomquist (aka Hong Kong Hawk) joins the show to break down the Seahawks 2019 schedule in a unique way. In past seasons, Dave has pointed out how the Seahawks often get dealt a tough hand by giving Seattle's opponents more rest, particularly in big games leading up to home games in Seattle. This year, the Seahawks actually break even overall.

Even though the story is that it's better than usual, there are some rough parts of the schedule. But with five prime time games, the fact that the Seahawks start the season off at home, and they get a bye in Week 11, even Dave can't find a lot to be mad about this season.

In addition to breaking down the Seahawks schedule, Dave tells us why the Green Bay Packers got, by far, the worst schedule in the league and which one of the NFC West division rivals was gifted one of the top 3 overall schedules.
