Good afternoon, 12s.

Here's a look at what's "out there" for today - Wednesday, April 27 - about your Seattle Seahawks:

Doug Baldwin: General Manager?

In an interview set to air Thursday on 710 ESPN Seattle's 'Justin and Gee' show, Doug Baldwin was asked what he would do with Seattle's first pick (No. 26 overall) in the 2016 NFL Draft if he was the team's general manager. In his answer, the sixth-year wideout sounded a lot like the Seahawks' actual head of personnel, John Schneider.

"In the GM-world terms, we call it the shelves of talent," Baldwin said, via 710Sports.com. "There's not a big drop-off of talent in those first three rounds. So you can actually go back – if somebody's willing to trade up – you can (go) back and get a few more picks and still be in that top shelf of talent…"

In the same segment, Baldwin was asked about his own draft-day experience in 2011, one the Stanford product said led to a "devastating" time in his life after he went unselected through the three-day process.

"There was a lot of emotion because football has been my thing since I was 6 years old," Baldwin said. "I didn't know what was going to happen. And we were in the lockout year, so after the draft was over, none of the teams could talk to us.

"I'm sitting there, undrafted, no interest because no teams had called me because they couldn't, and I'm about to graduate and I don't have a job," he added. "So I was worried, man. I started applying to different jobs in the area. My best friend at Stanford, he helped me get an interview with Dropbox at the time. I was searching. I didn't know what was going to happen. I was lost."

Days before the start of training camp in late July, the lockout ended. Baldwin signed with the Seahawks and went on to lead the team in catches (51), receiving yards (788), and touchdowns (4) that season, becoming the first undrafted rookie to lead his team in receptions and yards since Bill Groman of the Houston Oilers in 1960. Today, he's the team's No. 1 wideout, and he recorded career-highs in catches (78), yards (1,069), and touchdowns (14, tying the NFL lead) this past year.
