Seahawks Draft Jadarian Price in First Round

0:00On April 24th, the Seattle Seahawks just grabbed Notre Dame running back to Darian Price in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, making him only the fourth first round back in team history. Earlier reports had the Seahawks eyeing a trade to slide out of the first round and stock up on more picks since they only had four heading in end. Now sit at three after the move. General manager John Schneider and head coach Mike McDonald jumped right into a press chat after the pick, saying trade talks popped up but fizzled, out quick, and they worried other squads would snag price if they held off. They couldn't line up the right deal, maybe because the Rams jumped on quarterback Ty Simpson at pick 13, messing with their leverage laid in, the round. Price stuck loyal to Notre Dame for all three college years, grinding behind Jeremiah Love, and that grit sealed the deal for Seattle as they build. Around his upside heading into the off season.
