Price was selected in the first-round, but given he played second-fiddle to Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame, many are unsure exactly how good Price is.

The Seattle Seahawks knew they needed some running back help as they entered the draft, but the biggest question was how big a hole they felt they were in.

Holding the No. 32 overall pick after winning the Super Bowl, some thought Seattle, which only had four selections, would trade back out of the first-round to pick up more draft capital.

But general manager John Schneider stood firm, and the Seahawks selected Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price.

Given that Kenneth Walker was lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, it left a huge hole at the top of the running back depth chart, one that Price can fill.

Already donning Walker's No. 8 jersey for his rookie season, Price is seen as a player who can be the Seattle bell cow if needed, although ESPN's Jeremy Fowler stated that Price won't have to be from the outset.

So, the running back room for offensive coordinator Brian Fleury feels in better shape now, but not everyone loves the selection of Price, especially given how high he was taken.

NFL.com's Gennaro Filice has questions, but they are ones that can easily be answered in the coming months.

"The question is whether they reached for Jadarian Price at the end of the first round," Filice wrote. "But in fairness to Price, it was impossible to get a full sense of his ability at Notre Dame, where he was forced to play second fiddle to the transcendent Jeremiyah Love.

"I guess the flip side to that latter point is that he enters the league with plenty of tread on his tires, but I still question the wisdom of this selection at No. 32 overall."

Being behind Jeremiyah Love, Price was in the shadows, which likely leads to many questions over how good he actually is. He never got a full runway.

But over the course of his three seasons at Notre Dame, Price never averaged less than 5.8 yards per carry, and that's from 280 rushing attempts by the way.

So, when he did get his chances, he made the most of it.

Now in Seattle, the sense is that Price can be the starter, even when Zach Charbonnet is healthy.

But until we actually see him in a real NFL setting, there will still be question marks over exactly what Price can do.
