Jason "Puck" Puckett and Rob Staton from SeahawksDraftBlog.com, which is brought to you by Superior Linen Service, discuss the Seahawks' draft picks and evaluates their performance. The conversation covers topics such as the Seahawks' first two picks, the tight end selection, concerns about the offensive line, the strength of the defensive line, the linebacker position, and the ongoing situation with Jamal Adams. The conversation covers various topics including the potential return of Jamal Adams to the Seattle Seahawks, the Seahawks' approach to drafting quarterbacks, and the Atlanta Falcons' decision to sign Kirk Cousins and draft Michael Penix Jr. The hosts express skepticism about bringing Adams back as a linebacker and question the Seahawks' lack of investment in the quarterback position.

Rob consistently gives the best analysis. Please keep him on every week 👍

[@shanegermany5803]

The chemistry btw the two of you is great, both got great minds and love the analysis.

[@andrewtaylor4319]

I subscribe to everything that Rob is on in a recurring role and watch everything he is on as a guest. He is brilliant. I am a Rob groupie ( I don't think I need an intervention though).

[@user-ix7rd4cu6h]

Good stuff!

[@stevendominguez6714]

Let it go!! 💯%

[@themayor8775]

Barner was recruited to Indiana when DeBoer was the OC. He then transfers to UM and is developed enough to win the Mackey award. Sounds like a great fit for Grubbs offense.

[@scotalexander9568]

Great interview with Rob as always. Keep up the awesome content Puck.

[@uwaugie76]

Interesting intro music?!

[@timmoore8623]

🎉🎉

I like the idea of trading SF a conditional pick for signing Jamal. They sign him and if he plays

[@kingbcs6]

The only reason you bring back Jamal Adams is if you want to piss money down a hole and have someone on the IL all season. Also, Last Crusade is the best of the series. No question in my mind.

[@bigmike4962]

If Adams is bought back it would be nothing more than Schneider proving that saving face is more important to him than winning football games

[@bretkester8316]

In a week I have learned that Rob isn’t really British and now is a classically trained singer. I feel like I don’t know who I’ve been watching!

[@bradhawk5997]

Why Jamal Adams? Carrol tried to switch to a “Creative Defense” using a hybrid/linebacker safety! = Jamal Adams & Jonathan Sutherland! But Carrol didn’t have the right LB’s. Enter McDonald who signs LB’s Baker & Donaldson both LB’s can play Mike & Will so the Offense is clues less to who is doing what? If Baker or Dodson gets hurt Knight plays Will. If both Dodson & Baker get hurt Rhattigan plays Mike & Knight plays Will. The Hybrid/LB role is played by Jonathan Sutherland that’s why they protected him last year @ the end of the year! If Jamal Adams shows up to a physical in phenomenal condition Seattle will sign him to play the Hybrid/LB role that rotates in replacing Nickel CB or Will LB possibly Mike in Dime. This also helps avoid “wear & tear” on Nickel CB allowing us to field small CB’s @ Nickel. Also in a “pinch” Hybrid/LB can start a Will! Key Mike McDonald is a Creative Defensive Genius! FYI McDonald drops DT’s into coverage all the time if that drove you crazy when Pete did it then…. If Offenses cannot anticipate what our defensive players are gonna do on any given play then the Offenses’s first mover advantage & speed are eliminated! Ravens shut down KC in the 2nd halve of the playoff game it was the Ravens offense that lost that playoff game.

What’s with the intro/exit Honkey Tonk music. Please no more. Reminds me of an 1980s tv show music they’d play between different scenes.

[@kidwehrex5895]

I don’t mind the music itself but holy cow it about blew my headphones out. Volume needs adjusted

[@curtisallen5299]

My biggest problem with Atlanta picking Penix after having signed Cousins, is you're depriving the League of a great talented player who is ready to play. Nobody is more ready than Penix and you're talking about possibly benching him for 3 full seasons. The NFL has already put out on social media "Who's the frontrunner for OROY?" and Penix wasn't even listed as an option! That is bad marketing.

[@bigmike4962]

Bad roster mgmt and bad cap mgmt by Atlanta too

[@LevelSkip]

The league should forfeit that pick to Seattle and move Geno to the Raiders, Penix starts in Seattle. That’s how you market players.

[@bretkester8316]

I wonder if they are expecting some pretty big tempering penalties for Cousins, maybe a first round pick or two. Saw this as the only legitimate chance to get a qb in the first round.

My Indiana Jones Rankings: 1A: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Sean Connery is awesome in that movie) 1B: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark 3: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom No other Indiana Jones Movie warrants being on this list Hope this comment helps you with the algorithm Puck, Keep up the great content!
