Seahawks Grab Price, Rams Surprise with Simpson

0:00It's April 24th, you're listening to NFL News Today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. The 2026 NFL Draft kicked off with no real drama at the top, as the Las Vegas Raiders snagged quarterback Fernando Mendoza from Indiana. And number one overall, just like everyone predicted months ago. Down at the end of Round 1, pick number 32, the Seattle Seahawks grabbed Notre Dame running back to Darian Price to fill the huge gap left by Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker. They tried trading down from that spot, but traits up front blocked it, forcing their hand on Price, who shared the backfield with explosive teammate. Jeremiah Love, now a Cardinal at number three. Fans are buzzing about the shock at number 13, where the Los Angeles Rams, by a trade from the Falcons, took Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson way, earlier than expected. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers wheeled and dealed multiple times to slide to number

1:0133 for Round 2 action. Price wasn't the lead dog at Notre Dame, but that duo was the nation's most dynamic, so Seattle's betting on his burst to rebuild their run game. Other big moves saw the jets double up on edge rushers and the chief stacking corners. Round 2 drops Friday, so keep your ears peeled for how these rookies shake up the league. Seahawks fans, Price might just be the spark you need.
