Despite investing second-round picks in three of the past four drafts on edge defenders, including selecting Auburn's Derick Hall in April with the 37th overall pick, the position group remains a question mark for the Seattle Seahawks heading into the 2023 season.

Hosts Corbin Smith and Nick Lee examine whether the national perception of Seattle's edge group matches reality and what needs to happen for Uchenna Nwosu and company to earn more respect.

Smith and Lee also forecast the upcoming season for running back Ken Walker III and linebacker Bobby Wagner in his much-anticipated return and rank each of the Seahawks defensive positional groups in a jam-packed Blue Friday episode!
