The Ian Furness Show

Tonight is the second game of the Warriors and Rockets series, and we'll see if the nonsense from Sunday's game continues. What seems to be happening over time though, is NBA players, much like soccer players, are crying "wolf" more and more. The Seahawks did a thing almost no one does on Saturday, they traded into the seventh round even after using all of this year's picks. They clearly like wide receiver John Ursua. His position coach in Hawaii, Andre Allen clearly thinks highly of him too. He explains why he, and the Hawks, are so high on this guy. On Something Good, an 8-year-old in Ohio gets himself, and his sister to safety after a kidnapping/carjacking.

A lot is happening with the Seahawks' wide receiver corps. Tyler Lockett calls in to discuss the potential retirement of Doug Baldwin; what Doug means to him, and to the team, plus advice for the three newly-drafted receivers. Appropriately-named Wake Forest Offensive Line Coach Nick Tabacca fills us in on the Seahawks' fourth-round draft pick, guard Phil Haynes. Breaking news as the show nears a close, Braden Bishop has been called up from AAA Tacoma, as Mallex Smith gets sent down to work on some things.

Ian is back in the studio today, looking back over this weekend's draft. It was a good weekend in a lot of ways for the Hawks, but a story that got overshadowed a bit is a report suggesting that Doug Baldwin might be retiring. One of the greatest receivers in the history of the franchise, and one of the best in the game now, it's a sad loss for the team if he does indeed end his career, but he will undoubtedly do great things after football. One major takeaway from this weekend is to always expected the unexpected with Carroll and Schneider calling the shots. A week ago we were sitting here with four draft picks, and ended up with elevin. They took a guy in LJ Collier that no one expected in the first round. They even traded into the seventh round after their last pick, which no one does. With so many teams making picks that look horrible at this point, we're lucky to have the group at the VMAC making these decisions. One move Ian is a little confused about is taking two linebackers. With so many on the roster now, was this really the smartest move?

The Hawks grabbed two high-round draft picks from Utah over the weekend. Hans Olsen of 1280 The Zone in Salt Lake City covers the Utes, and gives us some insight into Cody Barton and Marquise Blair. Our draft expert Rob Rang was with us all weekend long. He gives us his thoughts on the Hawks' eleven picks. Texts continue the linebacker conversation from last hour. Softy, getting ready to hit the air with Dick Fain and Tony Softli, shares some thoughts on the last few days.
