Additionally, here is a brief transcript of coach Pete Carroll’s on-podium transcript as well:

Q: When you put together your coaching staff, you brought a lot of guys from the college level and brought them up to your staff. How beneficial do you think that will be in evaluating draft potential and just bringing the most out of your roster?

Coach Carroll: "It's a really good point that you're observing. The guys coming out of college football have a connection with the players, and not just the ones on their own teams, but the players that they've been playing against, the guys they've seen through recruiting. They've known these kids that are playing for years, and so in this draft in particular, and as it affected us when we started in Seattle, we really hit it in the middle to lower round picks, because I think we had better intel than maybe guys that hadn't had that opportunity to connect to college. So it's important to me to try to mix that. If you notice we've been able to do that some. So it's a real benefit."
