With pro days taking place across the country and a little over a month until the 2023 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks didn't spare expense sending a total of eight coaches, executives, and scouts to check out Ohio State's pro day in Columbus on Wednesday.

Hosts Corbin Smith and Rob Rang investigate Seattle's potential interest in star quarterback C.J. Stroud and other Buckeyes potentially on the radar, including receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and center Luke Wypler.

Smith and Rang tackle listener mailbag questions, including some bargain bin nose tackle options still available on the market, and share their thoughts on the biggest team needs that the Seahawks still must address before the 2023 season while identifying incoming rookies who could fill the void.
