Seahawks' Charbonnet Faces Rookie Challenge

This pick puts real pressure on Zack Sharbanay, their solid fourth year back, who's been holding down a key role for three seasons now. Kenneth Walker bounced to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency this offseason, leaving Sharbanay as a possible starter in the last year of his.

Starting ahead, Sharbanay hits free agency in 2027, and while he won't snag a deal
