Seahawks Snag Price: Draft Steal or Risk?

0:00On May 2nd, Seattle Seahawks just made waves in the 2026 NFL draft, snagging Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price at the 32nd. Overall picked to lock in their starting backfield guy. They started with only four picks but flipped the script, grabbing extra selections and landing big in each of the first three rounds. What stood out to General Manager John Schneider was Price's rock-solid character. Instead of transferring out from under his teammate Shadow, Price stayed put, trusted the grind, and balled out as one of college football's top. Rushers, over the last two seasons, experts have split on the move, but the buzz was real. Teams like the Titans were eyeing trades to jump up, and the 49ers grabbed the back early in, round three. Seahawks knew they couldn't sleep on him. Price piled up 1,420 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns on 233 carries across 28 games. After him, the next backs didn't go until pick 90 and beyond, showing a steep talent drop that makes waiting a risky play.
