It's exciting to see where the Mariners are right now, despite just being 23 games in. Logan Gilbert continues to be what the team needs and with this pitching staff they always have a chance t win. The pitching staff has a 1.35 ERA at this moment, and we are here for it. Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One and More joins the show to give us a national look at the draft, and starts with his own experience. Ross wouldn't be surprised if the Seahawks traded down, mostly because he actually knows John Schneider and how confident he is in finding the best players for this team. Is there concern moving a guy inside, tackle to guard? Ross fills us in. PORTAL UPDATE! DJ Davis is heading to Washington. Plus some college football news in LA.Steve Palazzolo, Pro Football Focus joins the show to give us the final preview of what the Seahawks might do tomorrow and through the next three days. He takes a good look at Ian's mock draft to grade him. Steve thinks drafting a quarterback each year is the way to go, regardless of what a team has. Where will the most value come with offensive linemen? Mike Holmgren, The Legend recalls his draft day experiences throughout his career and tells Ian how it applies to this day's way of things. The whole process has changed, and Coach takes us behind the scenes of the GM-Head Coach relationship, especially when it comes to the draft.
