Seahawks Draft Jadarian Price: Perfect Fit

0:00On April 24th, Seahawks kicked off the 2026 NFL Draft by grabbing Notre Dame running back to Darian Price at the 32nd overall. Pick on I-1. With Kenneth Walker III, now with the Kansas City Chiefs and Zach Charbonne recovering from ACL surgery, Seattle needed a fresh backfield weapon. Bad. Price pairs perfectly after his teammate Jeremiah Love when 2nd overall to the Arizona Cardinals at number 3. Teens were wheeling and dealing right in front of them, but no tradeback happened for the Seahawks. General manager John Schneider said they eyed some moves that fell through. Get Price stood out alone as the perfect fit, a top competitor who's all. Seahawks, through and through. Coaches are hyped on Price sliding right into their offense. Headman Mike McDonald broke it down, wide zone runs, some gap schemes, plus popping off in the past game with halfbacks more involved. Schneider highlighted his instant acceleration, vision, cutback skills, and that contact balance to grind inside instead of always bouncing out.

1:03They dug into Price's tape heart, crediting running back coach Thomas Hammock for Key Zoom insights. At 203 pounds listed, McDonald thinks he might bulk up a touch. No fat on the guy just finding the right build. Ball security is a watch point, but overall he's ready to compete on special teams too. Maybe even returns. This pick hits a real need without forcing it. Plenty solid back still on the board. Seahawks got their guy at the right spot, setting up a dynamic duo in the backfield. Can't wait to see Price slide it up come fall.
