RENTON, Wash. -- After riding shotgun with general manager John Schneider during his first draft as the Seattle Seahawks' head coach, Mike Macdonald was asked a question that had nothing to do with any of the eight players they had just selected.
Before the start of the team's offseason workout program in early April, Macdonald had removed blown-up pictures of some signature moments and legendary players from the Pete Carroll era that had lined one of the main hallways of the team's headquarters. The message behind the now-blank wall was that the Seahawks who now walk past it every day have a chance to create their own legacy.
