The Seahawks have a few needs to address in the NFL Draft, but in recent mocks, one player sees his name pop up more than others.
It is no secret that the Seattle Seahawks are going to have to nail their draft hand in the coming weeks.
With just four selections, general manager John Schneider, if he wants Seattle to maintain the rage in 2026, might have to hit on his first three selections.
A pick in each of the first three rounds, before their final selection in the sixth round, the Seahawks know that they must get this draft right. Granted, saying that about a Super Bowl champion is odd, but the Seahawks do have needs at important positions.
Corner looms as a top priority after Riq Woolen and Coby Bryant left in free agency, so it is easy to envision Seattle going that route in the first round.
But let's not forget that the running back position appears to be a weak spot as well after Kenneth Walker left, and Zach Charbonnet is dealing with an ACL injury that will reportedly keep him out of the early portion of the year.
So, four selections, and the pressure is on to make them count.
When it comes to mock drafts, there are a lot flying around right now, but Peter Schrager's for ESPN is based on information gathered from around the league.
It isn't his pick; it is a selection based on what he's heard, and when it comes to Seattle, Notre Dame's Jadarian Price is the player who hears his name called.
"Believe it or not, Notre Dame has never had two running backs selected in the first round of the same NFL draft," Schrager wrote. "In fact, only four running back tandems from the same school have ever been selected in the first round in the same year.
"But Price is the No. 2 running back in this class and would provide some nice pop to the Seattle offense after the departure of Kenneth Walker III via free agency. He had only 113 carries last season but turned them into 674 yards and 11 scores."
This isn't the first time we have seen Price mocked to Seattle, which makes me think there could be a thread to pull here.
Playing behind top back Jeremiyah Love, Price didn't get the chance to shine as often as Love, but when his chance came, he took it. Last season, Price posted 674 yards and 11 TDs as Love's backup.
But what is worth noting is that Price has averaged at least 5.8 yards per clip throughout his three college seasons.
So he could be a nice piece to add to Brian Fleury's offense, maybe as Charbonnet's backup. But in the first round? That might be a little high.
