Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans

The Seattle Seahawks 2026 draft class gets the full recap after covering the draft from the road. From three picks at or near their original selection on Day 1 & 2 to a chaotic Day 3 trade spree that doubled this year's pick total. We talk about John Schneider's "targeted" plan and clear themes: needs-based selections, versatile and physical defenders, and guys that have a clear Seahawks mentality. The top picks get the spotlight: Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, TCU safety Bud Clark as a favorite for his ball skills and swagger, and Arkansas CB Julian Neal as a press-minded, willing tackler. The late-round swing to trade up for Iowa guard Beau Stevens highlights the flexibility Schneider had with his 2027 draft selections thanks to his free agency strategy this year. We close on special-teams-focused payers like Emmanuel Henderson Jr., Andre Fuller, and Michael Dansby, developmental nose tackle Devon Eastern, plus quick thoughts on how the class stacks up to recent drafts.

Super Bowl Champions Rylie Mills and Shemar Jean-Charles joined us live from the draft party at the Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort to talk about their NFL journeys since draft day. Mills went from a torn ACL at Notre Dame to an unforgettable Super Bowl moment. They discuss handling adversity with support systems and faith, staying ready amid roster turnover, and maintaining a constant compete mentality regardless of starting status. The conversation highlights lessons learned from veteran teammates on the defensive line, the emotion of the Super Bowl, and the technical demands of a Mike Macdonald defense—disguised looks, communication, leverage, and disciplined eyes, especially in loud Lumen Field.

Before Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft kicks off, we are recapping Seattle's first-round selection of running back Jadarian Price. What happened to the idea of trading down and trying to get more picks in a draft where the Seahawks only had four? Now, with only three picks left, should Seattle still trade back for more volume or package picks to move up and improve hit rates? Will this be a need-based draft where the Seahawks look to cornerback and safety? Or will they focus on the talent availalbe on offensive or defensive line? We also look back at Day 1 to critique our NFC West rivals, including Arizona's heavy guaranteed money at running back, the Rams drafting quarterback Ty Simpson setting up some internal turmoil, and the 49ers trading back repeatedly without making a pick.

We're swinging our draft lens to Tuscaloosa do discuss which Alabama prospects fit the Seahawks roster and scheme. Brent Taylor of Roll 'Bama Roll, who followed his Shaun Alexander fandom to Seattle, talks about his perspective on the departure of Kenneth Walker. We revisit last year's discussion about Jalen Milroe and Robbie Ouzts before shifting to this year's Alabama draft class. We start with a look at wide receiver Germie Bernard as a potential third-round "Swiss Army knife" who wins from the slot or outside, contributes on special teams and rarely drops passes. On the offensive line, Parker Brailsford stands out as an athletic center/guard option who could push for snaps and be a possible long-term option in case the free agent center market gets out of control. On defense, LT Overton draws mixed projection due to unclear role and inconsistent production, while nose tackle Tim Keenan III profiles as a run-stuffer with surprising disruption who could be available in the mid rounds and has the type of personality and background that the Seahawks seem to covet.

With a wealth of coaching experience, Jay shares insights on the standout players, including running backs Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen. Defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton could be a name to watch on the defensive side of the ball for the Seahawks. We also explore the challenges of translating college talent into NFL success, the impact of NIL deals on player decisions, and the evolution of college football in this new era. Jay also reflects on his time coaching Michael Robinson offering personal anecdotes and insights into their careers. Get BLITZED!

Will the Seahawks go back to back years selecting a guard in the first round? We've got NFL Draft Analyst Joe DeLeone from Best Pod Available, on with us discussing who are great Guard fits for our Seattle Seahawks in Rounds 1, 2, and 3 + a few late round flyers he thinks have the athleticism to help our Seahawks.

A Super Bowl champion and Seahawks legend returns to break down what it takes to defend a title. From handling expectations and contract pressure to maintaining the mission over BS mentality through offseason. One difficult aspect of repeating is maintaining a championship roster, but which loss is tougher to replace between Coby Bryant and Tariq Woolen? Earl talks about the aspects of Bryant's game thare are most difficult to re-produce from his range on the field to his footwork and turnover production. Looking ahead to the 2026 draft, Earl has his eye on linebacker depth being an issue on defense and why competition could emerge as a priority. Support the show Get in the Flock!

How does the Seahawks running back room look heading into the 2026 NFL Draft? We discuss whether the current group has enough in the way of "special" traits and annoyances of college film and highlight reels. The conversation narrows to what matters most on tape—contact balance, burst through the line, turning dead plays into gains, and using hands to defeat tackles—before landing on a shared Day 2 favorite: Nebraska's Emmett Johnson. Johnson is praised for start-stop ability, lateral quickness, and making blocking look better than it is. Jonah Coleman earns strong support as another option, while "long speed" gets downplayed in favor of short-area burst and playmaking. Late-round sleepers surface with Wake Forest's Damond Claiborne and Oregon's Noah Whittington, plus quick hits on other backs and ball security. Support the show Get in the Flock!

We're focusing on building the offense for the Seattle Seahawks with EJ Snyder of Bootleg Football coming on the show to share some of his offenisve gems in the 2026 NFL Draft. In addition to the prospects, we also touch on some draft philosophy for this year considering the depth in some areas and where some of the weaknesses are. On the offensive line, Oregon guard Emmanuel Pregnon could help bolster the offensive line, plus it leads to a discussion about the hit rate on the o-line versus wide receiver spot when it comes to the first round. Mid-to-late wide receiver targets get attention, including Ja'Kobi Lane Lane and De'Zhaun Stribling. J'Mari Taylor of Virginia was the only running back on the list of EJ's five gems. We compare and contrast the skill sets of Taylor vs. Mike Washington of Arkansas. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Will the Seattle Seahawks look to add to their historic defense in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft? According to many of the draft experts, Clemson's Avieon Terrell appears to be a likely favorite. We discuss what is the appeal of the corner, but note some of the reasons why the fit may not be perfect. We look at other DB options like South Carolina's Brandon Cisse, Tennessee's Colton Hood, and Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman, while Clemson edge TJ Parker surfaces as a trench-minded alternative. Among the mock drafts we looked at, Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price was the lone offensive name tied to Seattle. The Seahawks may look to add to the running back room ahead of the draft, as Najee Harris has been making the rounds with several NFL teams. We also break down Jaxon Smith-Njigba's new contract structure and cap mechanics, discuss Jake Bobo's contract, and the implications of having multiple highly paid wide receivers. James Weiner, director of Super Bowl Champions: The 2025 Seattle Seahawks, joins the show to talk about the documentary that spans the entire championship season. The film is available to stream NOW on The Roku Channel.

The Seattle Seahawks reset the top end of the NFL wide receiver market by extending Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a four-year, $168.6 million deal, making him the highest-paid WR ever and effectively keeping him in Seattle for six more seasons. The contract structure is team-friendly early, with manageable cap hits now and a deal that could look like a bargain as the market rises. Seattle also matches Jacksonville's two-year, $5.5 million offer sheet for restricted free agent Jake Bobo, locking in a depth piece with incentives and guarantees. The contract reduces the cap hit for Bobo in 2026 and keeps him locked in for 2027. Is Devon Witherspoon the next guy to get a new deal and could an looming ownership change be propelling deals to get done sooner than later?

Draft season on the Sea Hawkers Podcast is kicking off with Coach DC (All 22 NFL Films) to showcase Draft Signal Pro, a collaborative draft preview site built for easy navigation, player profiles, and film links. What are the key needs and realistic targets around picks 32, 64, and 96? We start the discussion at cornerback before taking a look at edge defenders. As we shift to the offensive side of the ball, we start with running back considering Kenneth Walker's departure and Zach Charbonnet's injury. Can the Seahawks find another starter on the offensive line? We talk about some options at guard who could help Seattle improve both in the run and passing game. Support the show Get in the Flock!

The free agency frenzy continues, but the Seahawks are mostly sitting out when it comes to the biggest names. Swing tackle Josh Jones returns on a one-year deal and key special teams players are also back with the team. Seattle makes their first two additions from other teams by adding running back Emanuel Wilson from Green Bay and Rodney Thomas II from the Indianapolis Colts. Jake Bobo gets an RFA tender, but does it definitely mean he's locked in for 2026? Brandon Pili re-ups on the interior line, and Dareke Young joins Klint Kubiak in Las Vegas. We talk about some NFC West news as the 49ers trade for Osa Odighizuwa, and close with the idea that a trade for Maxx Crosby could still be on the table. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Free agency opened with a bittersweet start for our Seattle Seahawks as Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker signed with the Chiefs on a record-setting deal for a running back. All the best options for replacing K9 were gone by the end of the first day. So are we going to be looking toward the draft? Other departures included Boye Mafe landing with the Bengals and Coby Bryant heading to the Bears. Before discussing who is returning, we talk about how wide receiver contracts around the NFL are sparking sticker shock. Seattle's biggest wins come in-house: Rashid Shaheed re-signs on a three-year deal and, most notably, Josh Jobe returns on a contract that appears to be a steal for the production he provides. Between cornerback Riq Woolen and swing tackle Josh Jones, those participating in chat had a clear preference of who they'd like to see prioritized in the coming days.

Legal tampering (aka NFL Free Agency) kicks off this week with Seahawks fans bracing for potential departures. We may learn as soon as Monday whether we'll say our goodbyes to Kenneth Walker, Rashid Shaheed and others as the market tries to pull what they can from Seattle's championship roster. Safety Coby Bryant, by some reports, could be set to return. How does Kam Curl's deal set the bar? And what would be the reasoning for keeping Bryant with Ty Okada playing well off the bench in his absence? Seattle reportedly called the Eagles about Jalen Carter, but what does it really mean? Finally, Geno Smith's Seahawks legacy gets recognition from a Seattle columnist amid reports that he'll be cut by the Raiders at the start of free agency. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Free agency nears for the Seattle Seahawks after the NFL Combine. In NFC West news, the Rams acquiring All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs means they're going to continue to go all in. The Seahawks roster squeeze will be felt on special teams after reports that contract talks with return ace Rashid Shaheed aren't close. It's very likely he hits the market and we'll have to wonder if his special-teams value and his complementary receiver role can be filled by Tory Horton, through free agency or the draft. The discussion also covers Seattle's decision to allow Jake Bobo to test free agency, and the expectation that Drake Thomas merits a RFA tender. Finally, we close with thoughts on Kyler Murray exiting Arizona and speculation about Malik Willis as a potential Cardinals QB target. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Our Seattle Seahawks are kicking off free agency with five starters and two more key players potentially hitting the open market in two weeks at the start of the new league year. We run through some of the challenges general manager John Schneider faces with keeping each player and take a look at some of the projected salaries by The Athletic and Pro Football Focus. Kenneth Walker may have the biggest gap between how Seahawks fans would value him vs how he may be valued by another team, but a close second could be Boye Mafe. Mafe is considered one of the top 5 edge rushers in free agency, but his play time was limited in 2025 due to the play of Demarcus Lawrence and Uchenna Nwosu and Derick Hall. The amount of potential turnover in the secondary area of concern. Tariq Woolen, Josh Jobe and Coby Bryant are all expected to see contracts upward of $10 million per year and closer to $20 million per year in the case of Woolen. Is that the best use of salary cap dollars to try and keep all three? How would we prioritize? We take a look at the exclusive rights free agents and what that designation means as well as the restricted free agents and the one starter who stands out. In the second half of the show, we talk about potential rule changes (and the lack of rule changes) that are being discussed in Indianapolis. We could see a greater emphasis placed on officiating from the booth than on the field for certain calls. We call out the Los Angeles Rams and Augusta National on news that came out this week about both. Better at Life honors go out to a company innovating battery technology and to YouTube for being a place to find Patriots fan tears, Niners fan tears and Rams fan tears all in one spot.

NFL free agency is about to heat up and our Seattle Seahawks have some big looming decisions. Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker is one of those big decisions. We discuss four reasons it makes sense in this offseason to pay K9 and keep him in Seattle. But, what's the right contract value? Are there other free agents who might be a surprising bargain? Just how much will our 2022 second-round pick get on the open market? Lastly, would we feel comfortable spending another 2nd round pick on a RB in the draft? Support the show Get in the Flock!

New Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Fleury did the press conference and media show tour after being hired this week. What did his answers reveal about his philosophy and does he have a true understanding of what he wants his offense to be? Fleury emphasized a commitment to running the football, including a red-zone approach built on being able to "run it in," while also suggesting the scheme won't look drastically different from what fans have seen. We pick out some other stand-out moments to discuss and debate. Support the show Get in the Flock!

The Seahawks found their new offensive coordinator this week, hiring former 49ers assistant Brian Fleury. We frame our discussion by focusing on three different categories: what we know, what we think we know, and what we don't know about our newest coach. We detail Fleury's coaching background, address the fact that Mike Macdonald is on his third OC in as many seasons, and how the team is maintaining continuity in several key areas. Additional coaching notes include Daniel Stern and Zachary Orr joining the staff from Baltimore. Support the show Get in the Flock!
