Mike Salk

Now just two days from the NFL Draft and we're hearing more scenarios in which the Seahawks move back in the draft and we learn about Maura's big draft book and how she shapes her day around every team's pick. Revisiting the conversation with former NFL OL Ross Tucker leads to Maura's "Deal or No Deal" draft game based on the trade scenarios offered by the national sports writers.

Brock may have sold Salk on the Seahawks taking Georgia DT Jordan Davis if he's there at nine even though he was initially against taking a nose tackle at that spot. Plus, today is the anniversary of the first organ at a baseball stadium so Salk ranks organs.

Justin says choosing who to pick in the draft is like trying to plan a vacation for your parents where everyone wants them to have a good time but no one can agree on where to send them and they'll probably pick their own destination anyway. Maura takes us 'Around Seattle Sports' and hear from Jake Heaps (Jake & Stacy, 10a-2p) for his "No Brainer" Draft picks and Larry Stone, Ryan Roland-Smith, and Mike Blowers on varying Mariners discussions.

Salk asks Mariners fill in the blank questions about which M's storylines are most surprising, sustainable, favorite and troubling. Also - what is most likely to change? With the Seahawks potentially drafting to the OL, we ask former NFL player Ross Tucker what he sees John Schneider & Pete Carroll doing with the #9 pick before Brock Huard shares his own thoughts with just 2 days remaining.

Draft Day is coming and the mocks (or smokescreens) are everywhere, so Salk says it's best to not trust anyone because there's always a cover on the real intentions of teams. Salk is trying to teach his daughter how to play catch and asks for the best ways to help with the process. Sheil Kapadia's article on what the Seahawks will do in the draft is released today so we revisit our conversation to hear his takes. An abbreviated 'Take the L' makes an early appearance in the show.

Salk wants the Seahawks to take a QB in the second round. He believes it's worth the risk for the chance that you can find your franchise QB and you can always take one next year if it doesn't work out. Brock strongly disagrees. Plus, there were lots of complaints about MLB umpires and NBA officials this weekend so we do an edition of Ranked that covers the worst officiating in sports.

Just like with the Seahawks takeaways, Salk was impressed enough by this weekend to deliver some Mainers takeaways starting with Julio walking to drive in the tying run, wanting Kelenic to break out so badly, Suarez’s smile and one arm bicep flex, JP Crawford looking like the prospect we thought he could be, Ty France being the best hitter on this team and what they might look like when they get some of their pen back.

The best part of this Mariners weekend/home stand for Salk has been the completeness of the team. They are patient, hitting it hard, using their depth throughout the order, getting quality starts, and overcoming their issues with bullpen depth. Sheil Kapadia (The Athletic) joins Salk to share his mock draft where he sees the Seahawks trading back and what led to Russell's departure from Seattle. Brock Huard loved what he saw from the M's and compares Ty France to a Hall of Famer that will make fans happy.

The M's have a big weekend at home with some heroics from Ty France & Jesse Winker to complete their first sweep of the season. Salk loves the production from entire lineup and pitching roster has given the competitive starts needed... but there's still room for improvement everywhere. Maura takes us Around the Weekend of sports to hear more M's highlights, NBA playoff scores and how Matty Beniers has looked with the Kraken.

It's Friday so Salk takes your calls on any Seattle Sports topic on your mind. Today it's everything from fear the Seahawks will trade out of the number nine pick, suspicions over Julio's strike zone and going offensive line with the Seahawks first pick. Then, Brock Huard joins the show to give his thoughts on Pete Carroll and John Schneider's pre-draft press conference. Plus, in honor of Mariners puffy vest night, we rank vests!
