RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot open Episode 328 with some REO Speedwagon, a Morgan Wallen SNL debacle, and—sadly—no area code trivia. But it's all prelude to a full-on Mariners therapy session, as Mitch wonders why Gino Suárez and Teoscar Hernández are thriving elsewhere while the M's bats look like they're still in spring training. He also recalls a moment in a locker room with George Foreman that changed how he views leadership. First up: it's the Mariners No-Table with Brady Farkas (SI Now, Refuse to Lose Pod) and Joe Doyle (Over Slot). The crew breaks down the split with the A's, early warning signs with Julio, what Dan Wilson got wrong as manager, and whether this offense truly has enough talent to support the elite rotation. Then Danny Kelly of The Ringer joins to explain why all the top mock drafts have Seattle passing on offensive linemen at pick 18—and why fans might want to prepare for a linebacker, receiver, or safety instead. He also breaks down how the Seahawks could approach the quarterback class on Day 2. Finally, Jason La Canfora weighs in on the Seahawks' offseason: Is Sam Darnold a long-term solution or just Geno 2.0? Why does John Schneider refuse to spend on O-linemen? And which position group is so deep this year, every team could draft one?   GUESTS   • Mariners No-Table | Joe Doyle (Over Slot) & Brady Farkas (SI Now) • Danny Kelly | NFL Draft Analyst, The Ringer • Jason La Canfora | NFL Insider, Washington Post   TABLE OF CONTENTS   1:00 | Mitch & Hotshot: Morgan Wallen SNL chaos, no area code trivia, REO Speedwagon deep cuts 6:35 | Mariners Misery, Pt.
