With the 2021 NFL Draft starting tomorrow, Seahawks general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll sat down for an hour-long session with the media that covered a wide range of topics, not just about the upcoming draft, but also about the moves they've made in free agency, their new offensive coordinator and the future of this year's "first-round pick" Jamal Adams, and yes, there was a lot of talk about quarterback Russell Wilson.
Here are seven things we learned from Wednesday's press conference, which began with Schneider paying tribute to Ted Thompson, the longtime Packers general manager who was Schneider's mentor when the two worked together in Green Bay. Thompson, who passed away in January, also worked in Seattle's front office under Mike Holmgren and had a big role in the Seahawks acquiring Matt Hasselbeck in a trade with Green Bay, and with drafting future Hall of Fame guard Steve Hutchinson.
