We are live from the Virginia Mason Athletic Center for the first Seahawks draft with new head coach Mike Macdonald. Ian breaks down the days we have ahead and what it'll look like as the media frenzy gets going in this room.   What will this draft look like with Mike Macdonald and John Schneider, plus what goes into a draft day trade? We listen back to what Mike Holmgren told us yesterday as he takes us inside the draft room.   Which offensive linemen best fit the Seahawks in this draft? We listen to the experts on Graham Barton to see how well he'd look in Seattle.   Greg Cosell, NFL Films joins Ian to give his final draft preview as we sit on the precipice of the 2024 NFL Draft.   We get some listeners' 'wish lists' for this year's draft and take a deeper dive into which interior defensive linemen the Seahawks could be looking at this year, plus who would be the best fit in Seattle?   Ian runs down some of the highest rated linebackers in the draft this year and what our experts had to say about them. Rob Rang, FOX Sports Draft Analyst joins Ian as we've finally reached the day we've been waiting for! He tells Ian who he thinks will be off the board first and which quarterbacks are likely to land with the top teams picking. Where does Rome Odunze rank among wide receivers? Rang is high on Brock Bowers at tight end, more than any others available. Finally, who does he see as a surprise first rounder?

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.

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.
