Summary

With the rookies from the Seahawks 2023 NFL Draft reporting to mini camp, we got the first chance to hear directly from them at the VMAC. Their interviews give us another perspective on the players, their personalities and reactions to their transition to professional football. Before we get to the class, we hear from Pete Carroll and get a sense of how he's been energized going into the upcoming season.

Pete certainly made an early impression on some of the rookies, as Derick Hall commented on Coach Carroll's first meeting with the players. As excited as we were initially with players from the first two days, we became more intrigued by the late round players based off of their interviews. Jerrick Reed talked about giving up video games to dive into the playbook while Olu Oluwatimi talked about the transition from a pro style offense playing at Michigan.

In the second half of the show, we talk about how the Russell Wilson trade turned out for the Seahawks now that all of the picks are in. We also put into perspective any complaints about the offseason in comparison with some of the other NFL organizations. In the Do Better segment, Adam tells a story about an awkward interaction during his trip to the store. Better at Life honors go to a truck stop chain for a very specific feature and to the Seahawks player with the best reaction to being drafted.

0:00.0	This is the Sea Hawkers podcast.
0:08.7	Episode 4004.
0:10.6	I'm Brandon Schultz of the military Seahawkers and joining me, my good buddy in Montana
0:16.0	Seahawker, Adam Emert.
0:17.7	Been a little too long since we've done a flagship show.
0:20.3	We've been trying to put out a lot of different smaller content for you guys and that sort of thing. So excited to finally do this with you here today, Brandon. We got obviously the draft picks to go through. We've talked about it, me and you even on some of the other content we've put out and that sort of thing. But yeah, we get to do a little deeper dive. And now we know a little bit more, right? Because it's been a little bit of time. We've had some time to digest all that. It's been a little time. We've also gotten to hear them just not only from their post-draft calls, but they've shown up for rookie minicamp and done their interviews through that. so we're starting to get more information both from Pete Carroll both from the players themselves and it's just it's fun getting to know some of the new players man I can't wait to watch them on the field too but I'm getting more excited too just about just about the guys, especially after hearing from them.
1:13.8	No, the interviews make it really tough to have any sort of questioning about any of the picks, right?
1:21.8	Like, you hear every single one of them to a man talk and you're like, golly, I like that guy.
1:27.1	Like, I'm glad we've got him.
1:29.8	Or, you know, I'm really rooting for him.
1:32.1	But I don't know if you agree, Brandon, but I think this might be the most hyped draft
1:37.0	class in the Pete and John era.
1:39.9	Ooh, the most hyped.
1:42.0	It could be.
1:43.7	From top to bottom.
1:45.2	Yeah.
1:45.8	And it's hard not to disagree with some of the hype, though, because even when you hear
1:53.4	from some of the guys and when you look at...
1:55.9	Kenny McIntosh in the seventh round is a great example of how do you not get hyped about a dude who went in the seventh round but doesn't appear to have any kind of major injury type issues and a guy that maybe could have gone as early as the third or fourth round.
2:12.3	I can't think of a more hyped guy that I'm excited about than Jerich Reed just after hearing some of
2:20.5	his comments too. So these guys and it's not just our commentary watching the tape. You hear it from,
2:28.3	you know, I've talked to E.J. Snyder now who maybe he's biased a little bit just because I've talked to him for so many years.
