Plain for all to see, the #Mariners - especially their stars - have been in the mother of all slumps with the stick to start 2026. But what does the underlying data say about the rough stretch - and is it meaningfully worrying? https://ow.ly/IREG50YHkBP via Cal Bluechel

The #Seahawks continue to stack up official 30 visits with potential first round targets, including a pair of talented EDGE rushers. Latest details with profiles on every player reported to visit the VMAC: https://ow.ly/suFT50YHaRY

Opening up the mailbag for today's @lockedonseahawks.bsky.social... Got a #Seahawks question for me to answer? Send 'em my way and I'll answer as many as I can!

The #Seahawks could go any number of directions with their first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Regardless of whether they stay at No. 32 or trade down, however, their pre-draft homework seems to indicate one position in particular sits atop their checklist to address early: https://ow.ly/REe250YGMGl

By virtue of the #Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, the Seahawks own the last pick of the first round. If John Schneider opts to gain another pick or two and sacrifice his first round pick in the process, which moves could happen on April 23? https://ow.ly/v0Yb50YGjFU

The #Huskies receiving corps is talented but young. With Dezmen Roebuck ready to take the next step and Rashid Williams back healthy, who else will play roles for Washington this season? Notes from Tuesday's spring practice: https://ow.ly/HmqF50YFsXn via Aaron Coe

In the heat of spring ball, the #Huskies are "trying to figure out" the X receiver position with Denzel Boston heading to the NFL. Who's standing out thus far? And is a true freshman ready to push for early snaps? https://ow.ly/wJLv50YFt0e

Even without Coby Bryant, the #Seahawks still have star power and depth at safety. But in a talented draft class at the position, could Mike Macdonald aim to make a dynamic secondary even more multiple? Safeties Seattle could pick with each of its four selections: https://ow.ly/QBUr50YFhTs

Something I'm really working on in my life... Maximizing on the positives and drowning out the negatives. It's easy to complain. It's easy to think life isn't being fair. And it's hard to not let that noise get to you. But the happiest people know how to live that way.

Most draft pundits expect the #Seahawks to replace departed starters Ken Walker III, Boye Mafe, or Riq Woolen with their first round pick. But what if they select a player from another position entirely? Seven wild cards to watch as Seattle targets: https://ow.ly/rzuh50YEGQS via Corbin K. Smith
