Seahawks Grab Price: Versatile RB, Questionable Value

0:00On April 24th, Seattle Seahawks capped off the first round with a 30-second pick, grabbing Notre Dame running back to Darian Price as a fresh-legged playmaker to shake up their backfield. They aimed to trade back but had no takers, so they pulled the trigger arm price for his sharp vision and special team skills, especially with Ken. Walker hitting free agency and Zach Charbonne nursing an injury, fans and analysts are split-sum. See him as a second-round steal with low mileage after backing up a top draft pick while others question the value. Since most boards ranked him lower as a rotational guy, Price brings tempo and cutback ability, averaging 6 yards per carry, plus 3 kick return touchdowns, but he's got fumbles on his ledger, light. Receiving stats, and at 5 foot 11, 203 pounds, with a 4.4940, he's no prototypical lead back. Comparisons to Tony Pollard or JK Dobbins fit his versatile mold, and if he polishes past protection in a crowded room under Mike Wingdonald, this could great out as a savvy move for years to come.
