Seattle’s Draft Radar: Which Centers to Look Out For? - Locked On Seahawks Podcast

As one of the notable additions made by the Seattle Seahawks during free agency, and the lone move made so far adding an outside free agent on offense, the team signed veteran offensive lineman Evan Brown to replace retiring starting center Austin Blythe And yet, the franchise remains linked to several top center prospects in the 2023 draft class.

Hosts Corbin Smith and Rob Rang discuss Brown's strengths and weaknesses as a possible starter in the short and long-term while examining lingering interest in John Michael Schmitz and this year's crop of centers, including several quality day two and day three options.

Smith and Rang also comb through fan responses to possible first round wild card candidates at receiver, cornerback, and other positions for "Transaction Tuesday" and revisit Seattle's defensive line depth while exploring possible reinforcements such as re-signing Poona Ford.
