Now here are your hosts, Michael Bumpus and Stacey Ross.

Brady Henderson joining us from Seahawks Headquarters, Virginia Mason Athletic Center,

where Seattle has a new Seahawks player. Brady, how's it going? It's going well, Stacey. This just kind of reminds me of showing up to the golf course right before the tea time. And, you know, walking up to the first tee, right at, you know, right at the exact tea time. So you never missed it. You never missed one. You never missed one. That's right. I'm right on time, as always.

This is Peak Brady.

I wanted to ask whether you were surprised they made a pick. Most of us were expecting they traded back. No, I was not. I mean, it was very clear that they wanted to trade back. you know, as we talked about yesterday, the point I made yesterday is, yeah, they've also wanted to trade back pretty much every year for the last, you know as we talked about yesterday the point i made yesterday is yeah they've also wanted to trade back

pretty much every year for the last you know 16 years and for the last five drafts in which they've had a

first round pick you could also include uh two thousand twenty one in there um you know their first pick

was in the second round that year you know wanting to trade back is one thing, being able to do it, being able to find a

trade partner that's willing to move up, willing to give you proper value. That's another thing.

And, you know, we said, you know, for as much as they want to trade back, you know, there's a very

real possibility that the right opportunity just isn't there. And that's what happened. And it's,

you know,

hard to not connect the dots to all the other trades that went down right in front of them. And maybe, you know, they had some opportunities to potentially trade down. And I think what may have happened is maybe some other teams, uh, that wanted to move up just found better deals with, uh, you know, other teams ahead of them. What did you make of, or was there maybe, you mentioned some of the trades that went on around

them.

Was there a trade or maybe a draft pick that was taken ahead of pick 32 that kind of cemented

the Seahawks in their decision to stick at pick 32?

Yeah, I think it was, I think it was Chris Johnson going 27 overall to Miami after they

moved up.

I think they were 30 and then moved up to 27 with the 49ers, I believe, is what it was.
