Jason Churchill of prospectinsider.com and the Baseball Things podcast joins me to recap the last 4 years as the Mariners rebuild comes full circle with their first playoff appearance in 21 years. 

**Jason and I look back on our show from the start of the rebuild in November of 2018

**What did it look like then vs. now?

**How did we get to this point?

**What does this say about Jerry Dipoto as a GM and Scott Servais as Manager?

**Can the M's beat the Astros in the ALDS?

So the Mariners went and did a thing, getting the best available starting pitcher on the trade market.... my thoughts:

How good is he? 

Did the Mariners pay too much to get him? 

How does this impact the roster this year, and next? 

The cost of prospects vs. proven talent. 

Marte and Arroyo were good, but are their replacements going to be even better? (HINT: They're already in the organization)

The Seahawks stay put and select Mississippi St. LT Charles Cross with the 9th pick in this year's draft. 

**Who is Charles Cross

**My thoughts on the pick

**Why was this pick so important? 

**Will he start from Day 1? 

**What do they do next? Full LIVE mock draft simulation for rounds 2-7

Happy draft week! Lets dig in!

**Not one, but TWO LIVE mock drafts for the Seahawks using two different simulations. 

**Do the Hawks go QB early? 

**Left or right tackle? 

**Franchise RB in the 3rd, whaaaaaaat? 

**Which one do you like better? Let me know! @SeahawksForever

It's almost draft time. Let's MOCK!!!!!

**The Mariners are 6-5. What have I seen so far that I love.... and hate? 

**Is this the year the M's overtake the Astros? 

And much more!!

Longtime Seahawks writer Chris Cluff joins me on the first day of NFL Free Agency

**Does the Seahawks approach to free agency change now that they're traded Russell Wilson?

**Any big names in the offing?

**Which positions are the greatest need?

**How do you find that next QB? Do you go all-in this year or wait until 2023?

**Pay DK Metcalf or trade him?

After a wild, wild week in Seattle sports, I'll give you my thoughts on....

**How I FEEL about the Russell Wilson trade

**What do the Seahawks do now? My Plan A, B and C 

**Is Deshaun Watson the answer? (Spoiler alert..... NO!!!)

**Was it the right time to move on from Bobby Wagner? 

**Mariners news, why has there been none? Is it time to panic if they miss out on the biggest free-agent names? 

Putting the 2022 season to bed:

**Ken Norton Jr FIRED as DC. What does this mean for the Seahawks defense moving forward? Does Carroll go with another young protege or is he willing to turn the reins over to a veteran?

**Is bringing Carroll and Schneider back the right move? 

**Reasons for optimism 2022 can be a serious bounce-back year

**Biggest moves this team needs to make with it's own FA's.

**Has Bobby Wagner played his final game as a Seahawk?

**I put odds on how likely I think it is that Russell gets traded this offseason.

**What will this offseason look like for the Seahawks? 

**Does Russ force his way out? 

**Will there be any significant coaching/front office changes? 

**Status Quo?

**When will Mariners offseason re-start, and what moves do I want to see them make? 

**My thoughts on Jake Dickert and the future of the WSU Football program. 

**Seahawks still VERY MUCH in NFC playoff race

**With that in mind MNF vs. Saints is HUGE if they can pull it off

**New role with the Mariners for Ken Griffey Jr., what does it mean? 

**Mariners offseason - taking each move in context

**Thoughts on WSU football coaching search - my BEST CASE SCENARIO for who gets the job?
