Walker’s departure to the Kansas City Chiefs on a three-year, $45 million contract heightens the urgency for Seattle to replenish its depth at running back.
Analysts anticipate Seattle will target backfield help in next week’s NFL draft, with a Day 2 selection commonly identified as a likely path to address the vacancy.
One prospect frequently mentioned in drafts is Jadarian Price, a Notre Dame running back projected by some to land in the Seahawks’ second round, thanks to his versatility and production.
Price posted 761 scrimmage yards and 13 total touchdowns last season, despite playing behind Jeremiyah Love, and he averaged 6.0 yards per carry while also offering value as a kick returner.
With only four picks in this draft, Seattle faces a tight window to address its biggest roster holes, and Price’s mix of power, speed, and return ability could help him emerge as a lead back and special-teams contributor in a larger role.
