The Seahawks don't have a quality starter if a game were to be played today, and that isn't a good spot to be in.
The Seattle Seahawks' biggest problem, if you want to call it that right now, is at running back.
Not due to a lack of options, but due to the uncertain nature of those options.
If a game were played today, George Holani or Emanuel Wilson would be the starter behind Sam Darnold. That is problematic.
With Kenneth Walker now with the Kansas City Chiefs, and Zach Charbonnet nursing an ACL injury and likely to miss the start of the season, Seattle's options aren't great.
Wilson has been a bit-part player since arriving in the league, so too Holani.
That means the Seahawks need to be on the lookout over the next couple of months for a quality veteran who can be a plug-and-play weapon for Brian Fleury.
But is that the avenue Seattle should go down? Get a trusted veteran?
For ESPN's Bill Barnwell, he thinks the Seahawks should wait until the draft.
"The obvious hole in the starting lineup is at running back, where Kenneth Walker III joined the Chiefs and Zach Charbonnet is recovering from the torn ACL he suffered during the postseason,” Barnwell wrote.
“Schneider has been comfortable working the draft for backs since Marshawn Lynch left town, and the Seahawks should be able to use a middle-round pick to find a back capable of working alongside Charbonnet. There's also a chance that somebody like Tony Pollard gets cut in the months to come, which would open up a veteran fit for Seattle.”
While someone like Jeremiyah Love is out of the question given where Seattle has its first selection, others like Jadarian Price, Mike Washington Jr., Nicholas Singleton, Roman Hemby, and Kaytron Allen could be options in the later rounds.
But with just four picks (one in each of the first three rounds then a sixth-round pick) the franchise doesn't have much draft capital.
Could they use a pick in the first three rounds on a running back? Possibly.
But given other roster needs, is it worth looking for a cheap, veteran free agent to fill in?
Either way, Seattle has to do something for its rushing attack, because if Wilson or Holani are the starters come Week 1, I'm not sure how efficient the pair will be.
But general manager John Schneider has been good at roster building for years, so we've got to trust that things will work out, right?
