Despite Wilson’s solid showings filling in for the Packers, many believe Seattle will still target a back early in the draft, particularly in the first four to five rounds, given their overall depth and the need to ensure a reliable one-two punch behind Charbonnet.
Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton has sparked chatter by naming Seattle a top landing spot for Miami Dolphins back De’Von Achane, arguing that running back is the Seahawks’ biggest hole and that Achane could be the most dynamic solution to fill it on offense.
Moton highlights Achane’s dual-threat potential, noting that the rookie could match Walker’s ground production while adding significant value in the passing game. Achane’s recent production—substantial receiving totals alongside consistent rushing—and his injury-free stretch over the last two seasons are presented as compelling contrasts to Walker’s injury history.
The piece also points to Seattle’s financial and draft position, including roughly $32.9 million in cap space, four 2026 draft picks with three in the top 100, and the potential to sign Achane to a lucrative extension if a trade were to materialize. Still, surrendering high draft capital remains a strategic hurdle for a front office known for prudence.
Ultimately, Seattle’s approach could hinge on whether they pursue the draft route or pursue a high-impact trade for Achane, reflecting a franchise with a strong roster and a clear, if challenging, path to upgrading a key position.
