## Resource

The Seahawks gave us another behind-the-scenes look inside the building with Episode 2 of Before The Noise, titled “The Equation” — and this one pulled back the curtain on one of the biggest reasons Seattle’s roster has been built so well over the last five years. In this episode, I’m giving my 5 biggest takeaways from the show, which focused heavily on the marriage between traditional scouting and modern analytics — and how the Seahawks’ front office has found real power when both sides of the process align on the same player. We’ll talk about how Seattle’s draft philosophy has helped fuel an epic run of successful picks, why the collaboration between scouts and research matters so much, and the specific examples the team highlighted of players who had everyone in the building on board — including one surprise “star” who wasn’t even originally drafted by the Seahawks. Are the Seahawks building one of the NFL’s best young rosters because they’ve cracked the scouting/analytics equation? Let’s dive in.
