Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Twenty five NFL Draft and brought to you by cours Light,
by R and R Foundation specialist but Queen Anne bear
Ho and by Fox thirteen on Sports Radio ninety three
point three kJ R FM.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
And we are back at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center.
We being Jesseman McIntyre, Rob Rang, Myselfie and Furness actually
Ryan running the show for us back at the Elliott
Avenue studios.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Do we get Wi Fi back? By the way they're
ash I think so?

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Well.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
Actually, you know what, I don't know because I tried
to send a text when I got here to Jackson
and it didn't work.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Is that? Are you sure you don't here?

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Now?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Are you sure you don't just have a block on
Jackson's phone because you don't want to deal with him?
That it's always a possibility. Although I've got the little things,
not a five G actually actually day la Vega's coming back.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh my god, ah, you could certainly have that. I
mean that could be taking the place. No, yeah, we've
we've had some challenges, but you know what, our great
crew between Ashley, Chris Kidd, Anderson Hurst, Jess Mac and Tyre,
Jackson Feldts, the crew behind the scene has done a
phenomenal job since we've been out here since one o'clock
on Thursday afternoon. So tip of the caps stick taps

(01:09):
all around for all these guys and ladies that have
done a great job for us.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
We are here today.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's round four for Day three of the NFL Draft
is underway, and as we sit out here at the
Virginia Mason Athletic Center, the Seahawks will make a pick
coming up later in this I'm guessing around eleven. I'm
really just don't say anything. I'm not setting you up.
I'm not teeing this up. I'm not very good at math,
so actually you can make fun of me because you

(01:34):
don't normally do that. But yeah, I'm guessing around eleven
o'clock or so. Today we'll have probably in about fifty
to fifty five minutes or so, we should have the
Seahawks pick in the fourth round.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah they're flying today.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, they're going a little faster. It's the second to
last pick in the fourth round, right after Baltimore. So
it's number thirty five overall, one thirty seven overall, thirty
five in this round. After we hear from Jalen Milroe
in the second we got last night's conversation with him.
I'll get back with Rob because there is a massive
run going on at one position that was thought to
be really deep. I don't know how deep it is

(02:08):
right now as we get deeper into this fourth round,
and it's a position Seattle might have been looking at.
So we'll talk about that with Rob coming up in
a minute. But last night really a rarity. The Seahawks
have only done it three times now in sixteen years.
They drafted a quarterback, much like they did in twenty twelve.
That quarterback was drafted in the third round. Of course,

(02:29):
it worked out pretty well with a guy by the
name of Russell Wilson last night. Jalen Milroe, the quarterback
that probably has the most upside, probably the highest ceiling
of any of the quarterbacks in this draft. Maybe an
unfinished product as well in terms of accuracy and mechanics
and some other things, but there is no doubt in
his athleticism, his arm, strength, and speed, everything he's got

(02:50):
going for him. And he was picked by the Seattle
Seahawks yesterday in that third round, number ninety two overall,
and afterwards we got a chance to talk to the
new Seahawk quarterback Jalen Milroe, who was thrilled to be
picked by Seattle.

Speaker 6 (03:03):
So it's definitely a dream come true. You know. The
best thing about it, I would gather with family throughout
this whole process. You know, it's definitely a unique journey
for sure, not knowing where you can go, but it's
all about that right spot. And I know I'm in
the right spot moving forward, right spot. Kind of this
community and people that believe in me, that's all in
on me. You know, I felt that from the jump

(03:24):
when I visited Seattle, uh for my thirty visit and
being around the coaching staff and then it's a great vibe.
So I just enjoyed my my old journey while I
was there.

Speaker 7 (03:33):
What was your takeaway from that visit?

Speaker 3 (03:35):
What was the experience like?

Speaker 6 (03:37):
So, first of all, I've never been into Seattle Washington.
You know, the previous staff at Washington raved about the
city and you know, talked about it, and so I've
never been to that part of the world. So my
friend visit over there was you know, I took it
all in, uh number one, but also just uh seeing
the facility, seeing who who's all involved, with the coaches,

(04:00):
that meeting everyone and then also just picking up with
you know, who's gonna be comfortable. I mean, so just
a great visit overall.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Jalen, how did.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
The discussions with the coaching staff go in regard to,
you know, learning about the offense and where they envision
you fitting in.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
Yeah, so no matter we're out select, I'm gonna have
to learn an offense. That's that's for any quarterback, no
matter who you are. And so I know that going
in and also the best you know thing for any
rooking quarterback that a veteran in a room, and so
that's you know awesome just to have that going into
this courtright room and then also just acknowledgements that's that's
behind it. So I'm just so super excited for just

(04:38):
just a new journey, a new chapter of my life
to being settled.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Jealan, I think that.

Speaker 8 (04:42):
The natural assumption, just given your skill set, given the
depth chart here, given Kobeac's history with Taysom Hill, has
been that you could potentially come in and fill a
role similar to that, what is your uh, what's your
thought on that, what's your willingness to fill.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Kind of that maybe wildcat type role in you out
at least.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
So I'm coming in to learn, you know, learn, grow
and bring nothing but positive vibes to the offense, you know,
and and fulfilling all that that's a necessity with my
role on the team. So you know, of course, once
I get there, I understand my niche for sure. But
you know, I really now I'm competing, you know, no
matter what day it is, no matter how many reps

(05:24):
I get, competing for an opportunity presents of at the
correct position jealin.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
After starting two years in Alabama, which areas of your
game do you look at as your greatest focus to
improve here coming to Seattle?

Speaker 6 (05:39):
I think I think, of course, you know, throughout my
time frame playing football is always room for improvement. That's
for any player. And so I just know that massing
the game of football, playing sound and key to my reads,
that's what I'm not my best And so I understand that,
and I know that I'm gonna be in the best
situation with this coaching test. So I'm super excited.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
What was last season like at Alabama playing with Kayln
de Borg and and you know it's been taken over
for saving and that change and everything.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
I had so much fun last year. I have no
regrets from last season. And I was surrounded by a
lot of great coaches that you know, so that poured
everything into our into our room, and so that's why
I have no regrets even this past season. But also
just just was enjoying the posts with the new staff.
You know, I was to coach Savings last quarterback and

(06:25):
coach the board first quarterback at Alabama. So I have
a unique journey as it went to my senior year.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
You did a lot of.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
Shotgun in college and some people actually there's a lot
of under centered. You practice a little bit of senior ball,
like you talk about that and how much that was
part of the transition and learning process.

Speaker 9 (06:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (06:43):
So I mean throughout my whole time playing football, I've
gone a center. You know, of course rep wise in games.
You know, it's it's limited as as it is to
playing in the NFL and seeing the national stage. But
I've been under center throught my time frame, and so
it went be too much of a crutch, you know,
going into looting. So I'm just prepared for it.

Speaker 8 (07:05):
What was the meeting like with the Seahawks when you
came out here for the thirty visit and what do
you feel like they were trying to learn about you
when they were getting.

Speaker 6 (07:12):
To know you. Yeah, so the Sea I on the
best quarterback in the draft and they emphasized that. And
then also with them getting to know me is you know,
spending time with me, you know, one on one at
the facility and just you know, talking ball as well.
So we just took it as an opportunity to you know,

(07:33):
get to know me. How have you extended those you
know what drives me all the process when it comes
to preparation, all those different things. You know, I was
able to talk to everyone in the staff about that,
about that.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
What made you think this was the right place, Danileen,
and what made you think that they were in on you?

Speaker 6 (07:50):
Number one? You know, words of affirmation, you know. Number two,
you know, just just the belief system of everyone there.
That's all it takes. You know, you are differently, you
played differently. We have an army behind you, and that's
what I have and so I'm super excited about it,
you know, just just knowing that I'm going into a
culture that's wanting to win, that's one to achieve great

(08:13):
things and I'm going to bring that as a rookie
and throughout my whole time being in Seattle.

Speaker 7 (08:19):
Do you think you're the best quarterback in the draft
and do you have any message with the teams that
passed on to you today.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
That's as.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Jalen.

Speaker 10 (08:31):
When you were in the pocket and you were asked
to go through your progressions. Obviously you have elite running skills,
but how were you coached and how how did you process? Okay,
if my first isn't there, how much were you encouraged
to then run as opposed to stay in the pocket, No,
go to your second or your third of your checkdown?

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Just kind of talk how you've been.

Speaker 10 (08:52):
Coached to use your athleticism within the construct of a
pass offense.

Speaker 6 (08:57):
So my second packing touch down, get Kentucky wing through
a full progression and we scored a passing touchdown. So
I've done it before, you know, I don't continue to
do it. It's nothing I can't do in the football field.
The things I can prove on absolutely, but it's not
it's nothing I can do on the football field. I've
thrown every type of touchdown, stepping up in the pocket,
throwing the run. I'm going to find progressions. I've thrown

(09:19):
a check down the next score, I've used my legs,
So you know, looking at it, you know, picking too
much want on the field. I can do it. So
I'm just I said that humbly, you know, not you know,
not over arrogant. It's just more just knowing what I
bring to the table and knowing that I just just
a different dynamic when it comes to being on the

(09:40):
football field that I know I'm gonna utilize in that field.

Speaker 9 (09:43):
Galen, what did you learn about yourself last year doing
some of the down moments there, like the loss of
Vanderbilt and coming out of that and those sorts of
circumstances that maybe you guys hadn't had to deal with
in in prior seasons there at Alabama.

Speaker 6 (09:54):
So I don't think not so many people can say this,
but I can say this. You know, probably I never
lost a game back to back in my entire life
of playing football. Well, I mentioned that is because of
course you're gonna have failure, You're gonna have lessons Dart
the time fraens and playing football. It is, but it's
out of how you regroup and how you re group
from adversity and My theme of my whole life is

(10:17):
next play mentality, you know how you know, not leaning
on failures to drive me, you know, And that's something
that's that's been emphasized with my whole time friend playing football,
you know, and so you know, I emphasize that when
it comes to we were playing different games. One game
doesn't lean doesn't lean up to the next game, and

(10:38):
so the matter is a win, no matters a loss.
It's all how you can regroup and be the best
version yourself so that you can compete at the highest
of it that's necessary so you can win.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
You are you still in Green Bady? Do you stay
there for air?

Speaker 6 (10:51):
Now?

Speaker 7 (10:51):
I'm in Houston jailhen you you played against nick Emmon
Lorey when he was in South Carolina and now as
your teammates.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
What do you remember about facing him game planning for him?

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Yeah? So one thing he's he's utilized all over the
football field. And so when you utilize all over the
football field, that means the special and you at the
player that you are, you know, you know that going
into the week, how good of a player he is,
the fives, he has, the range that he plays with,
and so it's gonna be great to be teammates with him,
you know, and just you know, build together as rookies

(11:23):
come in doing allever Nea, please we can have the
team out.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
You stayed at the draft in Green Bay throughout the
first round? Is that right?

Speaker 6 (11:30):
That's right?

Speaker 9 (11:31):
What what was that experience like?

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Were you upset?

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Were you mad?

Speaker 6 (11:35):
What? What'd you take of that? Was? No matter where
I was drafted, I started to come in and prove
myself and earn the trust and respect the guys in
the locker room, and so it wasn't a necessity to
hear my name called early on. Later on, it didn't
really matter to me. It was more to hear my
name called because I know that team is all lay
on me and they saw something to me the other
team didn't. So it was all about opportunities. So it

(11:56):
didn't really matter when I was selected.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Did you talk to through this process?

Speaker 6 (12:04):
They're hurt for sure, and what conversations about that's more
of an intimate, you know, dialogue. But as that's my guy,
you know, he's someone that's a supportive of mine and
so you know, it's just something unique about the Chalus.

Speaker 9 (12:19):
For sure, Jilan, if you're breaking down your own game,
being super critical yourself, both positive and negative. What are
your strengths, what are your weaknesses? And and what do
you what do you bring the table here?

Speaker 6 (12:29):
They let take take lists, sex, play on time, and
be me. That's that's the area of growth when it
comes to being me. I know that I'm not one
dimensional at the court opposition. I'm a problem solver. I'm
a student of the game and love football. Man.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Uh let me let me ask Ashley first the first
time you I don't I'm assuming you didn't hear that
last night?

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Correct?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (12:59):
What what's your first impression of the Seahawks new quarterback?

Speaker 11 (13:02):
I like him a lot.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
His best answer and response was when he talked about
it doesn't matter where I'm drafted, I still have to
come and improve myself.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
I love that mentality because there's a that's a guy
that two years ago, Rob two years ago would have
been probably a guy that's that was thought of potentially
being a first round pick.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, right, first round talent exactly.

Speaker 12 (13:25):
And that's the thing is that there was you know,
with moving on from Nick Saban and his coaching staff
to Kailin de Boor, there was a thought, Okay, well,
That's why I was such a cool thing to be
interviewing with Nick Sheridan a moment ago, you know, or
a couple I guess an hour ago now where who
was of course the offense coordinated this past season for
Alabama and got to see Jaylen Monroe in person, see

(13:48):
his development. You know, that to me was one of
the most fascinating aspects about this is that with Kaylen
de Bor going to Alabama and knowing the way that
Kaylen de Bor and his staff helped Michael Pennix Junior
become such an established quarterback, a very accurate, savvy quarterback.
After there was some talk before early in his career

(14:08):
that this is a guy who's an athlete, but he's
not necessarily a future NFL quarterback. That there was talk that,
you know, Milroe, he could take off now. And there
were elements of his play that did improve. There were
also some things I thought they kind of stunted his
growth because this is a you know, as as Milroe said,
you know, you don't ask a zebra to be a

(14:30):
dog basically, you know, I mean, he is a guy
that has a very unique skill set and if you
are going to try a pigeonhole and then make him
play a different type of a system. Then I think
that's going to take some time there.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
And you know, h made the point in.

Speaker 12 (14:43):
Yesterday's show about the fact that that Milroe had four
different offensive coordinators over his time at Alabama. This is
a guy that just needs a little bit of continuity
to really be able to unleash his potential. And so
I'm a sided to see him come to Seattle and
be given that opportunity to to just kind of learn

(15:08):
from the sideline a little bit. Maybe there's a package
there where, especially at the goal line or in red
zones or goal line or or in short yard situations
where you take advantage of his ability as a as
a runner, as a as a passer, but also just
not expect him to come in and play immediately. And

(15:28):
so to me, that again, that's one of the most
intriguing things about him. There there's no pressure. You come here,
you learn and allow your natural talent to really blossom,
as opposed to some of these quarterbacks that were drafted
in the first round or whatever. To Ashley's point, you know,
they're drafted so early that they're the pressure is intense.
You have to get on the field to justify where

(15:48):
your team selected you. And that's one of the reasons
why you see so many quarterbacks who who you know,
who bust early because they just struggle with a level
of expectation and they're just not quite ready. This guy
has already had to with expectations playing at Alabama, and
again he's coming to a system here that I think
is his quarterback friendly. Kyle or excuse me, Klink Kuback

(16:08):
has proven his ability to develop quarterbacks.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Over his career.

Speaker 12 (16:13):
And it also he's going to be playing behind some
veteran quarterbacks who had taken their lumps, and Sam Darnold
knows that as well as anybody. Drew Locke knows that
as well as anybody. And also they are very different
type of skill sets. So when the Seahawks do want
to have a running presence of quarterback, then they've got
arguably the most athletic quarterback in this draft class ready

(16:35):
waiting in the wings.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Rob rang Ian for Nass, Jessin McIntyre, Ashley Ryan, all
with you this morning. It's ten twenty two on a
Saturday morning, Day three of the NFL Draft, rounds four
through seven.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Round four, well underway.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Seahawks are ten picks away from making their first selection
of day three. We'll have that for you very soon.
Greg Bell is here, Let's do this. Let's take a
quick break. We'll come back. Maybe we'll grab Captain Bell,
throw him on for a second. Get and I want
to get Rob's thoughts too. We'll get Greg's thoughts on
what the Seahawks may be doing coming up here in
a few picks, But Greg, before we get before we

(17:09):
get to that point, Rob will also kind of lean
on you. I said there was a position run. There's
now been two big position runs that the Seahawks were
probably looking at in this round four. So we'll get
your thoughts on running back and edge rushers, which all
of a sudden are flying off the board in this
fourth round. We'll do that next nine three point three KJFM.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Now back to the Virginia Mason Athletics Center and the
twenty twenty five NFL Draft and brought to you by
cors Light, by R and R Foundation specialists, the Queen
Anne Beerho and by Fox thirteen on Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ R.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
FAM.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
All right, we're back at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center.
We now being Greg Bell joining us along with Rob rang, Ianfiness,
Jasamin McIntyre, Ashley, Ryan Gang is all here for a
little saturd breakfast at the draft as we've been doing
this for many, many years. Rob rang, you and I
hanging out here. We're having a little turkey sausage and
hanging out and having fun. Seahawk pr staff treats us

(18:05):
very well. Over these few days. We put on lots
of pounds and regret every second of it. Later next
week when we look at the ways of the scale
before we bring Greg in in your preview kind of
what's going to happen. Big run on a couple position
groups rops so far in this in this fourth.

Speaker 12 (18:19):
Round, yeah, we have seen huge runs at the running
back and edge rusher positions. Definitely the If the Seahawks
are looking to address those positions, then they're gonna want to.
I think jump in here pretty quickly and select that
one of my favorite players at running back that is
still available would be Jordan James. We talked about Oregon before.

(18:40):
This is a guy that didn't run quite as well
in the forty yard dash. I think it's some they
were expecting, but his lateral agility and his vision I
think are make him a really good fit in a
wide zone blocking schem like the one the Seahawks are employing.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
I'm gonna come back to you a second for wide
receivers too, because I think that that is probably their
biggest need right now roster wise, Greg Bell, how are
you good.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Morning, sir?

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Morning.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, we've seen you more than my wife. Well I
don't even know if my wife's seen me in the
last three days. So it's okay. This is a labor
love this. I always I don't take it for god.
I walked in this morning and you know, you walk
through the halls of this this great building here, and
I'm like, yeah, we're covering the NFL Draft in the
Seahawks quarters. It's not a bad it's not a bad gig.
So and especially when you can leave at noon or

(19:22):
one like I can't today.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
Oh okay, thank you for that.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
I know, I know you two guys can't say. First
time in the fifteen sixteen years, I've been able to
do that. So I'm okay, what do you think so far?

Speaker 4 (19:35):
It's the people's choice draft, and it's a I mean,
if they did ran a popularity contest. This might be
one of the most popular Seahawks drafts. The fans' choices,
go address that offensive line, go get a guard, Well
they did in the first round. They get a quarterback
only three times in John Schneider's sixteen years. Can we
say they drafted a quarterback and they drafted one who's

(19:57):
very interesting? They make it Frankly, it makes it team interesting.
Not that they were disinteresting and people weren't going to
pay attention anyway, but let's face it, they are a
more interesting team with a more interesting preseason and off
season with Jaln Milroe.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
How are they gonna use them?

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Are they gonna give him a package of plays? Really interesting?
Last late last night, Mike McDonald said, well, Sam how
Sam excuse me, Sam Donald. Sam Howe's gonna get traded
any second that someone offers for him. But Sam Donald
is gonna play by far and away, not more than
ninety percent of the snaps. He didn't say one.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Hundred's that's where we came with that ten percent and
was bringing up earlier Rob Yeah, it's.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Been one hundred around here for how many since Russell
Wilson became the starter? It has been one hundred percent
of the time unless the quarterback was injured, that the
starter got one hundred percent of the rest.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
There's never been a quarterback I don't want to say controversy,
but even competition here.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
There's never been a.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Carved out role in the playbook for a second quarterback.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Never, No, there aren't. There is now And Mike McDonald
made it clear that they are gonna put Milroe in
the spots in the schemes, in the plays that he
is best at what's he best out of course, running
and getting outside and challenging ed rushers and making defenders
choose between defending passes and run.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
There are gonna be that.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
It could be five plays in some games, but there
will be plays in the playbook this year and spots
in the game plan for Jalen Milroe. And you can't
say that about Drew Locke. You couldn't say that about
Gino Smith when he was the backup to Russell Wilson.
You couldn't say that about Tavares. Jackson's backups go back
a generation. And you can't say that at the quarterback position.

(21:37):
And Rob the team became more interesting last night and
in Mike McDonald's mind harder to defend, and as a
defensive minded head coach, that's what he wants a quarterback.

Speaker 12 (21:49):
Yeah, And that was one of the things that I
thought was fascinating when Mike McDonald was kind of talking
about Milroe and just how danger or how difficult it
is from a defensive perspective to try to just prepare
against the quarterback that has that kind of athletic abuilding.
He kind of talked about that, you know, you can
be playing perfect defense, you know, just based on the

(22:09):
formation what the offense is likely going to try to do,
and you are in position to stop that. But when
you have a quarterback that is as dynamic with ball
inless hands as any of these you know, these multi
dimensional quarterbacks that are just taking over in the NFL,
then it just it's it's impossible. It's going to be
incredibly frustrating as a as a defensive mind like Mike

(22:31):
McDonald to just see a uh, you know, a Jade
and Daniels run around, a Kyler Murray run around and
make plays, you know, the same way that Russell Wilson.
You should do that for the Seahawks so many times,
you know, and That's the thing is that Jall Milroe
isn't going to just run around. He is going to
run and then break off a sixty yard touchdown. And
it's that type of explosive playmaking ability there. Frankly, the

(22:52):
Seahawks have lacked for years now.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
And he'll run over your linebacker.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
That he Mike mcdonaldlat night and did not shy away
from comparing Jalen Mill wrote without a NFL practice yet
to Lamar Jackson. Yeah, we asked, Lamar, is your experience
in Baltimore with Lamar Jackson part of the thinking that Miller?

Speaker 3 (23:13):
He said, yeah, Yeah. The short answer is.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yes, Well he's sitting there and practice every day, going
against this guy and the quarterback that makes you miss.
I think one of the things that jumped out at me,
you know when you're talking when I was thinking about
it last night. You know prime Russ, like prime Russ,
and Russ's absolute, you know, the pinnacle of his career
when he was at his most athletic, fast, comfortable confidence.

(23:34):
You know, pocket passer, Russ would run around before he
would run forward. Sure he was trying to throw. And
the thing that was interesting with Russ is, you know,
Russ was put together. I'm trying to think who it was.
Maybe his second to last year towards the end of
his career. Here and Greg, you remember as we were
down in San Francisco Levi Stadium and he scrambled to

(23:57):
his right because we're looking down to our left far
side of the stadium.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
I remember this play.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
He scrambled to his right, came back to the left,
and then saw Green hit a switch. Because people are saying, Oh,
he's lost a step, he's overweighted, he's this or that.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
No, man, he hit a switch, went and he took on.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
That was a d M that was kind of that
had kind of come across, put his shoulder and knocked
the guy out of the game. I forget who it was,
and just trucked the guy after beating another guy on
the outside. And I think in the back of my
mind you and I might have even talked about it.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
That's like, why doesn't he do that more?

Speaker 6 (24:34):
You know?

Speaker 2 (24:34):
But I think with Russ it was so he was
so uber focused on being a pocket passer and not
falling into a stereotype of a running quarterback, and yet
he had that ability when he wanted to, and that
was again that wasn't even primetime, Russ. You have a
guy like Milrow that comes in and you said he
can he'll truck a linebacker, right, Rob, Like, he'll truck

(24:56):
a linebacker, not think twice about it. God forbid, you're
dB and you see that guy coming downhill, like, that's
not what you're gonna want to see. The question is
can they improve his accuracy? Can they improve his timing?
Can they improve the mechanics as you mentioned last night?
I think the answer is yes, because there's no rush

(25:17):
when I meant no rush.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
When I mentioned Thursday night Jalen Milroe being on their radar,
and I was told of the combine how interested the
Seahawks were about him for once, they didn't. They weren't
leading me astray.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
They and you seem to recoil at.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
The thought of Jalen Milroe here and I had to
go leave because of the press conference starting, But I
could see the look on his face like, Belle, what
are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yeah, but it's not because of the.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Entirety of the quarterback position now, he's not ready to
do that. He's got a couple of years to be
able to develop into that. It's because of the singular
set that they could put in. I asked last night
Mike McDonald about a Taysom Hill comparison, and he said, no, no, no,
this isn't Taysom Hill.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
He's not an h back.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
He's not a fullback.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
He's not a guy we're gonna tight end that's going
to catch the ball. He's not that. No, don't.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
He is a quarterback through and through is what McDonald said.
But my point of asking about Taysom Hill is will
Kubiak have a select bunch of plays, half a dozen
dozen plays in a playbook and a game plan for it?
And the ad answers yes, and again, it makes the
team harder to defend. It makes a defensive coordinator and

(26:31):
staff have to game plan for that. You're not gonna
have to game plan the same way with Sam Donald
as you are for Jalen Milroe. If you've seen Jalen
milrolle come in the game five times in the previous week,
and if you're doing that, you're.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Harder to defend.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
This is a more dynamic offense simply because Jalen Miller
is on the roster. And we'll see how they actually
how much they use him.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Let me do this ash, Let's take a quick three
minute time out. Great, can you stick around for a seconds,
because by the time we come back will be what
two picks away. This is where I like to have fun.
This is where we put right. Sometimes you've nailed this,
you can give me a we'll see give it.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
He loves what I did.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
What's our average drop about on once a decade?

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah, exactly, No, we've actually there's been more than one
occasion when it's like, yeah, we just talked about that
guy an how we go on day three and that's pick.
The Seahawks are at thirty five, the Chiefs at thirty
one in this round are on the clocks. We'll take
a quick break, come back, have the Seahawks first pick
of day three, thirty five. Overall, you'll hear that live
right here in ninety three point three kJ FM by

(27:29):
R and.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
R Foundation specialist the Queen Anne beer Ho and by
Fox thirteen on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
R FM.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Just when I want those types of cues on Monday,
starting Monday, where I.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Mean extremely specific actually is on it.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
I mean I asked her how far back two minutes
and four seconds? Sin so I could start my clock
and plan my day accordingly.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Just want to make sure you're ready to go.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
That's the kind of efficiency we have in the morning
on the morning show at ninety three PC.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
They don't know what it is at seven am. They
don't know.

Speaker 8 (28:00):
You gotta be sharper than everybody else.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Kind of weird because when I've done stuff and been
done hits and talk to those guys in the morning,
it doesn't always feel that accurate.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
But boy, it sure feels accurate today.

Speaker 11 (28:09):
Well that's because we have you one so we can
mail it in for a little bit.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Well wait a second, that's my policy, learned it. You
can't take that for me.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Uh Ian forness, Rob Rang and Ashley Ryan back to
the studio. Is Jasmin McIntyre's here and Captain Bill greg
Bell from the News Tribute, Our Siahawk Insider is here
with us as well. At the Virginia Mason Athletic Center,
the Chiefs pick is being announced right now. Jalen, there's
another one, damn it, Jalen Royals Utah States, go ahead

(28:41):
and scratch that one off the list. What did I
tell Robert one hundred percent you were gonna tell me
Jalen Royals for the Seahawks at thirty five, right.

Speaker 12 (28:48):
Yeah, he was a player that I definitely was very
intrigued by, just because of the fact that he does
have not only receiver ability, but return skills as well.
Utah State is, of course, program that has produced a
couple of different very good Seahawks, obviously Bobby Wagoner, but
Robert Turban as well, and so that's a program that

(29:08):
has been good to Seattle. And so to see them
go Royals going to the Kansasity Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes,
that makes them better. Yeah, exactly, You're gonna see this
guy's ability to create after the catch something I think
that the Seahawks are lacking. Royals will be able to
do that for Patrick Mahomes and they can't see Chiefs.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
All right, So next up, the Raiders are on the clock.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Is this, well, Denver's on the clock and then the
Raiders again, Greg, We've talked about the Shadoor Sanders thing
for three days now, and you're starting to run out
of teams and opportunities. Can you see a fit behind
Geno Smith with Pete Carroll there well as a backup?
I can, but it really depends on when. It's almost

(29:48):
as if the league.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
I'm not accusing him of this, but it seems as
if they've colluded to say, how long are we gonna
make him pay a penance for what he did pre draft,
for the things of sandbagging interviews with Combine and pre
draft meetings with teams, and the teams he didn't want
to play for, he just didn't try in the interviews,
reportedly for his father at times flat out saying I

(30:12):
only want to coach an NFL, but I can coach
my son. The specter of Dion Sanders coming with his
son and being a part of that, whatever that part
of that would be. There are teams who frankly obviously
don't want any part of that, and we talked off air,
but you think, look at the team like the Steelers,
who obviously my Steelers and I still have a lot

(30:33):
of ties back in Pittsburgh, friends and close to the team.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
They obviously need a quarterback in the future.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
Mike Tomlin was over the top talking about Shador Sanders
before the draft, more than he usually talks about any
singular player in the college draft. And the Steelers have
had what five pit four picks now and they haven't
had even a sniff of Shoud or Sanders. So it's
obvious that the league you do it the league's way,

(30:59):
no matter no singular college player. Family history legacy is
bigger than how the league does it, and the league
has a way of doing it. And they were turned
off by the way Shad or Sanders did it, obviously,
and that is more than the talent, more than the potential.
And it's not gonna be the Seahawks.

Speaker 6 (31:18):
We know that.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
But then picking Jalen Miller, I.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Don't think they don't think they'll have six quarterbacks on
the roster. Yeah, that's people forget that they have five
quarterbacks on the roster.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Jared Allen who may not see any snap again and
would have to go through waivers to the practice squad.
They will trade Sam Howe. The question is when will
the team be willing to give what I think would
have to be a conditional pick. I know some people
are saying a pick late seventh pick, seventh round this year.
Why would another team give away a draft pick without

(31:48):
seeing what the playing time the what Sam How's ability
will be to play, and what is the final year
of his contract? So to me, it's a conditional twenty
twenty six pick.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
When you do, yeah, it's gonna be a twenty twenty
five pick.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
And when you trade it. Why would you trade a
conditional pick on the day of the twenty twenty five draft.
So I think that's going to come after the draft,
when they settle out undrafted free agents and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, I don't think there's any doubt about that.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
I mean, Jalen Hall is QB four right now in
a sense to beating away how you want to look
at Sam Howell and that's just a training camp arm.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
If that probably you know mini camp arm. However, you
want to look at those things.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
The question that becomes that they put three on the
active roster during the season, which they rarely done. And
the answer right now is yes, it's gonna be yes,
because they have Drew Locke for two years, five million
dollars and the experience and that in the cachet in
the locker room. Of course, Sam Donold's a starter, and yeah,
Milroe your draft so that you can have him available
and train him.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Broncos took Q Robinson, an edge rusher out of Alabama.
That's pick number thirty two to one. To thirty four
overall raiders. Pick is in there at thirty three, then
Baltimore and then Seattle.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
So we've talked about wide receiver, Yeah, and Rob, I
don't think it would be in this round. But what
about Efton Chisholm from Eastern Washington would be the first
wide receiver from the leagues to go since Cooper Cup
in twenty seventeen. What round do you think he could
go and would that be a Seahawks fin.

Speaker 12 (33:12):
I think that he's later. I think that we're talking
more like seventh round, maybe even falls out of the draft.
But he's a good player. He's just you know, he's
a He's a guy that is almost like a running
back more than a wide receiver. You know, he is
quick and he's powerful. He does create after the catch,
but he ran in the high four sixes at the

(33:33):
at his forty yards or in the forty yard dash,
and that is a time that I think most NFL
teams are are just not going to, you know, value
what he does well enough to overlook that lack of speed.
But at the same time, he catches the ball. He's
highly competitive. He's a special teams guy. He is he
is the kind of guy that you want. He just

(33:55):
there's a reason why he wound up going to Eastern
Washington because this is a really good player.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
He just has have NFL spece So what makes sense
for Seattle two picks from now?

Speaker 12 (34:04):
For me, again, there's a couple of wide receivers I
think make an awful lot of sense because again I
think that this.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Well, there's not a lot of X guys. I would say, well,
there's a few. There's a few.

Speaker 12 (34:15):
Helic Alu Manor from Stanford is a player again that
I talked about him last night. Yeah, I'm still very
intrigued by Tory Horton from Colorado State again is another
one that I'm excited by. I was intrigued by the
comments and Mike McDonald, you know, and just continually uh,
you know, mentioning the idea of Elijah Royo was almost

(34:35):
playing kind of that X role as well as what
he was was saying.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
And so maybe the.

Speaker 12 (34:40):
Already view that X receiver as playing as somebody that's
on their roster. I still think regardless of what position
they play, I still think you need more speed. And
so a couple of other receivers that have elite speed
Isaiah Bond from Texas, Elijah Badger from Florida, KeAndre Lambert

(35:00):
Smith from Auburn. Those are guys that again, these are
all players that are in the at least the four fours,
in some cases for threes. One of my absolutely favorite
running backs in this class. I mentioned Jordan James before. Ian,
you and I are talking out there a moment ago
about some of the positional runs.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
That we have seen.

Speaker 12 (35:18):
The running backs are flying off the board at this point.
Jordan James, frankly is a better running back than at
least three or four of the backs that have come
off the board so far in the fourth round. So
if you want to look smart, and I think the
Seahawks had done a terrific job so far this draft
of getting guys not only they're good players, not only
have a great deal upside, but also getting players at
a position of value, then I think that Jordan James

(35:42):
would make some sense. And then again, I know there's
a lost Seawk fans out there that all they care
about is just getting more offensive lineman Marcus Bow from Purdue,
Jalen Rivers from Miami, Bryce cable Doo from Kansas. Who's that, Yeah,
He's a guy that they in here for a visit.
He has the you know, very good agility for a

(36:05):
big sixty five, three hundred pound offensive lineman. And Kansas
is starting to churn out offensive lineman now. So we
saw the forty nine ers get a big hit with
Dominic Pooney a year ago in the middle rounds at
the guard position, So he might be some day.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
It's interesting.

Speaker 12 (36:21):
One of my favorite interior offensive linemen in this class
is Joshua Gray from Oregon State.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
He's available.

Speaker 12 (36:26):
He was a five year starter for the Beavers and
he had played the left tackle but also moved inside
to play the center guard, right center. Yeah, he'll be
an interior offensive lineman in the NFL. But his I
thought that he was terrific at his pro day workout,
and he is a guy that I think would would
make some sense as well. And then again, the cornerback
position is one that I'm still very intrigued by. Denzel

(36:50):
Burke from Ohio State, Dorian Strong from Virginia Tech, Tommy Hill,
if it was Pete Carroll, and actually the Raiders are
gonna be on the board here in a second. I
do think that sorry, they just took the defensive tackle
Tonka Henmyway, who plays like his name should be Tonka.
He's just a big, physical kind of guy in the interior.
But again, Tommy Hill is a guy who's two hundred

(37:12):
and fifteen pounds playing corner. So again that the size,
physicality special team's ability I think would be intriguing to them.
And one of my favorite players I'm still stunned is
available out there is Joshua Farmer from Florida State.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
If you want to find a guy.

Speaker 12 (37:27):
The Seahawks unfortunately released Cameron Young, a defensive tackle from
Mississippi State that we never actually got to see play
really for the Seahawks due to medical concerns. Here, Joshua
Farmer to me is a very similar player and that
he is a traditional nose guard who's just a tough guy,
and so I think that he would be not a
guy who didn't get a lot of sacks. But at

(37:49):
the same time, if you were looking for that Jonathan
Hankins kind of a replacement at the noseguard position, Joshua
Farmer from Florida State Jay Toya from UCLA both would
make an off.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
A lot of sense here.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Titan's in Baltimore made a trade. So Tennessee, Uh, well,
there you go, Tennessee, just took one of the guys.
You were just talking about the wide receiver out of Stamford,
like I am Manner, and so do you think that
they might have jumped in front just to get him
over Seattle? Do you think I think that's a possibility?
You know, I mean im Anner is a he's a

(38:22):
good player.

Speaker 6 (38:23):
He just he is.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
He doesn't on the clock, by the way, we should
just for our listeners, Seattle is on the clock, and
as soon as they go up to make the pick,
we will go to that live go ahead, Rob, Sorry.

Speaker 12 (38:32):
You know that that is a possibility here then that
the eye Manner may have been the guy that they
were looking for. And I don't I don't know that
to be true. I just think that he plays with
the physicality. He's got a good release for a guy
who is six foot one and a half and two
hundred and ten pounds. And again, one of the things
I liked most about him is that when the ball

(38:54):
was in the air, he was one of those receivers,
a big receiver who played big. That was always one
of the frustrations I had with DK metcalf is that
if you're so big and strong, then damn it, go
up and get.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
The ball, and I am in it?

Speaker 4 (39:06):
Does that?

Speaker 6 (39:06):
He just has it?

Speaker 3 (39:07):
Was Canadian man, what do you want? Of course? Exactly.
I probably brawn guys on the bench in Montreal.

Speaker 12 (39:12):
Yep, exactly. He put some maple syrup on it. He
could catch anything out there. I mean so again, one
of the receivers that I really liked in this class.
I thought he wasn't surrounded by much talent at Stanford,
and yet he was the guy for them gaming game
out and so I think that he would have made
some sense. Again though, if you're going to see another
wide receiver come off the board here soon, I would

(39:34):
expect to harton.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
We got a trade, Yeah, thank you. I was trying.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
I was trying to read the Chuck Powell air traffic controller.
Air traffic controller Seattle has traded their pick here in
the fourth round to the Chuck. Do you know what
the New England are Patriots? Okay, we'll try to get
the details for it in a second. The Seahawks have
made a trade. They've traded out of the fourth round
with the New England Patriots.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
I expected and that'd be the sixth round. They don't
have a sixth round pick, Okay, so there was probably
a package of moving down.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Into the fifth in the fifth and get a sixth
That makes sense.

Speaker 11 (40:10):
So they'll keep the.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
Nine total picks and probably get a sixth instead of
using it. Right, And it could be because they just
lost the wide receiver that they were going to take.
It's put ahead of them.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised at all. As soon as
that happens.

Speaker 4 (40:22):
That's when you often see trade downs because somebody traded
up unexpected. The Titans and the Seahawks have a great relationship.
They talked about that. Yeah, going back to last year
in the summer practices.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Here's the So Seattle picks up the fifth round pick
one four and the seventh round pick two thirty eighth,
so they have three picks in the seventh round. They
get an additional fifth round pick that gives them three
right in the fifth round for Seattle in exchange for
that fourth round pick they just traded to the Tennessee Titan.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
So Seattle goes back to having ten.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Total draft picks as of now, ten total draft picks,
including three coming up in the fifth round. Go ahead, Greg,
you're talking the relationship, not just relationship, but also maybe
reading the tea leaves in Tennessee, knowing what Seattle's thinking.

Speaker 4 (41:07):
Yeah, and obviously it's it's sniffs that they were going
to take the Stanford Wide receiver until the Titans traded
up in front of him.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
And they'll never hear that. By the way, we got
to we wanted.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
But so when you only have five minutes to pick,
instead of throwing something together as a plan B that
you didn't think you had to use until right before
your spot, then you trade.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Down check check, just go grab that just's had several
So I think that's it.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
I think that's what's happened there.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Well, just chucks. Chuck's kind of he's able. We're on
the fly here. There's a beautiful thing about live radio.
All right, what he got for us?

Speaker 11 (41:34):
I'm just gonna let you know, just seven spots down,
so they'll be picking again really soon.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (41:40):
I think maybe you guys nailed it. I think maybe
their guy got taken and they let's make a quick adjustment,
give ourselves some time to think, and also pick up
that tenth pick that we trade.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
What Rag said too, right, like you. That's when you
see the picks.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
May somebody jumps ahead of you, especially now in these
middle rounds, you're like, okay, well let's go ahead and
bop down. If that was the guy we wanted the
next to whoever the next guy on your board is,
you probably haven't figured out like we.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Can get that guy.

Speaker 11 (42:03):
You know how angry you get, even in a fantasy
draft when somebody know what I was thinking.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Can you imagine what John's thinking? Okay, you know what.
I'm glad you brought that up.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
I'm glad you brought that up because I think this
is something where people can relate if you put and
you know, I know, at least on our show about
eighty percent of our listeners or fantasy football players, and yeah,
you're sitting there in late August and the guy jumps
up and he takes the backup tight end for whatever
team that you think you were the smartest guy in
the world to have in the in the ninth round
of the draft, and you're pissed off at your buddy

(42:32):
for the next week.

Speaker 11 (42:33):
I think I said something about andrews Hurst mother. If
I remember back to our fantasy draft that we had
and I.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Didn't mean it, but I think it came out.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
I think it was just a natural reaction. Oh that
is good.

Speaker 6 (42:45):
All right.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
So this is the guess how many trades involving draft
picks this now makes for John Schneider in sixteen drafts and.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
He guesses one hundred forty. Okay, this is the fortieth.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
The fortieth trade including one that is rarely that he
he rarely is moving up, yeah in this draft, but
the fortieth trade in sixteen drafts.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
This is what he does.

Speaker 4 (43:08):
So he still has the nine picks. He's seven picks
later than he was earlier.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Go ahead, Rob, Yeah, well just wait to take another
defensive player.

Speaker 6 (43:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (43:15):
Well, the Patriots came. They trade Joshua Farmer, and so
that's the thing. It's like, so two of the players
I just kind of we've been talking about that. I thought,
were you know, really starting to qualify as steals at
this point in the draft. Uh, you know, Farmer being
another one. So I am Manor and Farmer. Look, I
like Seattle moving down to you kind of just recalibrate
your options here. As Chuck talked about, it's only seven

(43:37):
picks are moving down. But that's the thing is that Uh,
these are seven picks that that you are starting to
go from the guys that are going to be steals
to the guys that are going to be you know,
basically at I think at their highest point are going
to be backup players farmer to me, I you man
or to me had some starting upside in the future.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
Okay, So this is what it is, Chuck, is it?

Speaker 2 (43:58):
You know? This is the draft miss Christmas to you
from John Schneider is basically you're gonna have somewhere around
five to six picks during your segments starting at noon today. Yeah,
I'm gonna have one Marry draft miss to you from
John Schneider in the Seattle Seahawks. To recap what Chuck said,
So pick number six in the fifth round is what

(44:19):
they just acquired from New England. That'll be coming up
very soon. We'll take a break here before the top
of the hour. Then pick number thirty six and thirty
nine in the fifth round. So three fifth round picks
nothing as of now in the sixth round.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
Correct, which makes you think they're probably going to trade
down on that fifth, get into the sixth and perhaps get.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
A seventh because they want Chuck to have more stuff
to do between twelve and three, so right now, three
in the fifth and three in the seventh, so six
remaining picks. As it stands here at ten fifty seven
in the morning on Saturday morning.

Speaker 11 (44:48):
It's white Elephant exchange time.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
Right now.

Speaker 11 (44:50):
People are just like, I don't want this.

Speaker 4 (44:52):
I want that.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Nobody. Somebody just scored. They got the Crown Royal somehow.
That was like the one good gift under the of
the tree, and you're trying to hold onto it to
trade these homemade potholders for your Crown Royal. It's been
traded twice. Can't do that anymore, all right, that's check pal,
He's coming up an hour. Greg's here, Rob's here, will
take a quick break, come back with more. Ninety three
