With only three players selected in general manager John Schneider's smallest draft class to date, the Seattle Seahawks' 2021 class hasn't done much on the field heading into their third season in large part due to injuries.

Host Corbin Smith takes a look at where things stand for receiver Dee Eskridge, cornerback Tre Brown, and tackle Stone Forsythe with a crucial junior year in Seattle on the horizon and additional competition potentially making it difficult for them to emerge as contributors.

Smith also answers listener mailbag questions, including discussing the possibility of a breakout year for Darrell Taylor, and dishes out his first "Forecast Friday" projecting DK Metcalf's 2023 season and potential for a breakout fifth season catching passes from Geno Smith.
