The Sea Hawkers Podcast

Before kicking off on the scheduled topic, we hit on a couple offseason headlines from press conferences and other interviews this week. From Anthony Bradford's injury and A.J. Barner's “surgeries” to a couple key takeaways from Sam Darnold about the new offense. Who are the unsung offensive pieces that can matter most in repeating as champs? We discuss the impact one receiver could make and how it could be a game changer on offense based on what we saw last season. We also look at how production of the offense can come in different ways, particularly from the tight end spot and why the Seahawks saw that value during the middle of the season last year. Finally, there's one player whose continuity with Sam Darnold combined with a potential third-year leap could help provide stability at a position that was critical to the team's first Super Bowl victory.

With the Seahawks taking a running back with their first pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, we welcome Thomas Rawls back to the show to discuss Jadarian Price and what translates from college to the NFL. From pass protection and processing defensive tendencies, to winning small “crease” moments with technique and decisiveness Rawls explains why backs struggle in pass pro, why closing space matters, and how great runners adjust on the fly. He evaluates Price's film traits—pressing the line, jump cuts, getting back north, falling forward, and blending explosiveness with consistent one-cut efficiency—while addressing how he could fit alongside current backs amid injury-related opportunity. Plus, we hear about Rawls' upcoming community events in June. Support the show Get in the Flock!

The Seattle Seahawks 2026 draft class gets the full recap after covering the draft from the road. From three picks at or near their original selection on Day 1 & 2 to a chaotic Day 3 trade spree that doubled this year's pick total. We talk about John Schneider's “targeted” plan and clear themes: needs-based selections, versatile and physical defenders, and guys that have a clear Seahawks mentality. The top picks get the spotlight: Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, TCU safety Bud Clark as a favorite for his ball skills and swagger, and Arkansas CB Julian Neal as a press-minded, willing tackler. The late-round swing to trade up for Iowa guard Beau Stevens highlights the flexibility Schneider had with his 2027 draft selections thanks to his free agency strategy this year. We close on special-teams-focused payers like Emmanuel Henderson Jr., Andre Fuller, and Michael Dansby, developmental nose tackle Devon Eastern, plus quick thoughts on how the class stacks up to recent drafts.

As we look back to the Seattle Seahawks 2026 draft, we chracterize it as “responsible” for going out and meeting some of the biggest needs early on in the draft. Fifth-round guard Beau Stephens from Iowa, who finished second in a fan poll behind running back Jadarion Price, is a player who fans are particularly excited about. We take a look back at Stephens' background along with his Joe Moore Award, the team's willingness to trade future capital to move up for him, and traits pulled from a long-form Iowa interview. Stephans has an intense, self-critical mindset, a preference for aggressive, leverage-based run blocking, and a belief in breaking the will of defenders he's going up against.

Super Bowl Champions Rylie Mills and Shemar Jean-Charles joined us live from the draft party at the Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort to talk about their NFL journeys since draft day. Mills went from a torn ACL at Notre Dame to an unforgettable Super Bowl moment.
