Seahawks Draft Jadarian Price at 32

0:00On April 7th, Seahawks fans, the 2026 NFL Draft, is looking like a prime spot to rebuild the backfield, especially after losing Super Bowl, MVP, Kenneth Walker III, ESPN analyst Peter Schrager just dropped the mock where Seattle grabs Notre Dame running back to Darien Price at the 32nd overall pick, with Walker gone, this move tops their priority list over spots like the offensive line or edge rushers. The running back room is thin right now. Zach Scharbernay is coming off a serious ACL injury from the postseason, and the backups like Emmanuel Wilson and George Holani lack that big play speed, and experience. Seattle could upgrade elsewhere, but the ground game needs an immediate fix to stay competitive. Folks are split on spending a first-rounder here. Critics say Price, rated 39th on Daniel Jeremiah's top 50 board, might slide to the second round around pick 64. Another guy like Arkansas's Mike Washington Jr. is rising fast too, so no guarantees on snagging a starter later.

1:03That said, Price brings real value as an all-around back. Last season, he backed up a Heisman finalist and still racked up 74 yards and 11 touchdowns on just 113, carries. He slide right in as the lead guy until Scharbernay heals up. Bottom line, even if it feels like a reach, the Seahops might play it safe and lock down their backfield early. Keeps the offense humming without the what ifs. Stay locked in with NFL news today, AI-powered updates.
