Ian Hartitz of Fantasy Life suggested Seattle as a leading Day 2 landing spot for a back, noting limited immediate additions to replace Walker and the possibility that Zach Charbonnet could miss early action after an ACL injury. The debate centers on whether Seattle would trade up into the top 10 to select a back who could immediately assume a lead role or opt for a later-round pick with long-term upside.
Jadarian Price is highlighted as a Day 2 option worth monitoring for the Seahawks. Price’ s quick, explosive running style and college production as a complementary back make him a plausible fit behind a veteran in Seattle’s backfield, though his college carries were limited compared to Walker’s workload. His speed and return-game potential add to the appeal of a later-round selection.
Price’s profile suggests he could provide a breakaway element absent from Emanuel Wilson and the current depth chart, and he could contribute in the return game if given an opportunity. However, there are concerns about whether he could absorb a heavy workload and replace a ball-carrier like Walker in a short timeframe.
Seattle’s backfield would still need a primary ball-carrier capable of shouldering a significant share of the workload, particularly in high-leverage situations. The front office could opt to refine the roster through the draft or explore veteran additions in free agency to complement any rookie pick, balancing development with immediate impact.
In the broader context, the Seahawks face questions about replacing Walker’s lead role without overextending a Day 2 pick. The organization may prefer a measured approach, either selecting a secondary option on draft day or pursuing a veteran back to stabilize the rotation while a younger back develops. The decision will hinge on Seattle’s assessment of fit, workload expectations, and comparative value across the remaining draft options.
