Seahawks Draft Jadarian Price, Running Back

0:00On April 24th, Seattle Seahawks held steady at Pick 32 and snagged running back to Darian Price from Notre Dame. This marks just the fourth time they've taken a running back in the first round. They were eyeing a trade to slide back, but the deal never clicked, and Price's talent was too good to ignore. Earlier this week, the team stayed put instead of packaging the pick for more selections. Now they've only got three picks left in the 2026 draft. Price steps in as a smooth, explosive rusher, who could rack up big yards right away. Fans are split on grabbing a running back this high, even at the end of Round 1. Some say they could have waited for later rounds, or flipped the pick for extra ammo. Meanwhile, our experts mostly love it, handing out grades like A-, A-, B, and B-. Price feels a huge gap with Zach Scharbonne, sidelined by a torn ACL until later in the season. He's got that graceful style, newly matching Notre Dame teammate Jeremiah Love's production, and slots perfectly into Seattle's offense alongside

They'll keep wheeling and dealing in the coming rounds to round out this squad. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
