Seahawks May Skip Price, Lean on Wilson

0:00On April 21st, mock-drafts keep linking the Seattle Seahawks to running back to Darian Price at the end of the first round in the 2026 NFL. Draft. But General Manager John Schneider dropped hints in his pre-draft presser that this might not happen at all. He is really high on their new free agent, Sinie, a manual Wilson, who got a one-year deal worth up to $1,595,000. That's cheap for a guy who could see big snaps in the offense next season. Schneider talked about having freedom in the draft, meaning no rush to grab a back early. The running back room got messy after Kenneth Walker signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in Free Agency. Zack Sharbenay, the likely week one starter, tore his ACL in the playoffs and might not be ready when 2026 kicks off. Fans are buzzing about the depth issues, but the team seems chill. Wilson has only started twice in three years, both last season, including a strong 111 game with 107 yards and two scores on, 28 carries.

1:03He is more of a grinder than an explosive guy like Walker, but he could keep drives alive. They still got George Halani and Kenny McIntosh, though injuries nag those two. Schneider might trade back, skip price, and eye someone like Mike Washington in Round 3, or grab an edge rusher or corner instead. Bottom line, the Seahawks looks set to lean on Wilson heavy next year and play the draft flexible.
