Summary

Clinton Bonner goes solo to explore the Seahawks' strategy of selecting freak athletes almost exclusively and whether this approach will pay off. Were there day three gifts to the offensive and defensive coordinators? Plus, a discussion on whether Schneider made the right moves to bolster the team. Clinton shares his observations from the draft, including the surprising number of offensive picks versus defensive ones, and how the draft process reminded him of the original Star Wars trilogy. With 11 picks in total, he breaks down key selections like Gray Zabel, Nick Emmanwori, and Jalen Milroe, discussing their potential impacts on the team.
