is the word I'm looking for there for the number one football team on the planet,

the Seattle Seahawks, who just won the Super Bowl. We're going to be talking about that

for as long as we can because why not?

And because we've been talking about it so long, we are a little late to start our draft coverage.

And there is only one person, only one person we would want to start it with.

It is Dame Bruegler of the Athletic, author of the legendary, The Beast draft guide.

Dane, man, it's been a while how are you doing

i'm good um i'd ask how you were doing but i know how you're doing uh i i've i felt like i was

following the season vicariously through you um just the the high highs and um i mean it's really really cool to see how those season played out and especially some of the I mean you know me I always bring it back to the draft the the draft class and how that impacted this team and what zabel meant to that offensive line and obviously I'm in Worry and pretty cool to see a Super Bowl champion with the rookie class playing such a big part in that success.

Yeah, that's actually where I wanted to start with you.

I'm glad you went there.

I mean, first we could talk about that rookie class, but also, you know, when I was going over it with folks on on this show a few days ago it was 20 plus

players that are on rookie contracts over the last three or four drafts right and and so when you

look at kind of the the the draft work that John Schneider has done over the last really since

2022 you know has anybody really done it better uh and and

and if yes like would love to know because because uh it's a pretty impressive run he's on yeah and i

mean i've got so much respect for john and um i think i mentioned it on the show before but

first time i ever met him was uh back when i was interviewing
