Overview
- The Seahawks used the final pick of the first round to select Jadarian Price to fortify a backfield reshaped by Kenneth Walker III’s departure and Zach Charbonnet’s injury.
- Head coach Mike Macdonald said Price fits Seattle’s wide‑zone run game and can contribute as a receiver.
- General manager John Schneider praised Price’s character and burst and said the rookie “stood alone” on their board at that spot.
- Schneider flagged ball security as a focus for coaches after three fumbles across the past two seasons at Notre Dame.
- ESPN’s Brady Henderson expects Price to compete as a co‑No. 1 back, and Richard Sherman called the pick a strong answer at running back after Walker left.
