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.

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.

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.
