Draft 'character concerns' disappeared and that's concerning

Reporting has probably changed more than humans have

Why are the Seahawks motivated to meet with certain draft prospects but not others? It’s not simply to shake their hands and say “Can’t wait to work with you!” thirty times over.

It’s the biggest interview of those player’s lives and an investigation that stays in-house.

On Wednesday morning I posted an interview with Alexandre Castro from Field Gulls, the absolute best in the business at tracking every Seahawks pre-draft visit.

His insights sparked my curiosity every time but as I started to write my reactions to his answers it was apparent that I was hogging the space and detracting from what he said. So I wrote all of my reactions in a separate bonus post for Regular Joes subscribers that you can read here, including:

Why it’s unfair that we don’t know who has “character concerns” anymore, the best running back, cornerback, and edge fits for Seattle in the draft, and why we haven’t seen the best of Anthony Bradford yet.
