Seahawks Select Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price at No. 32 as Ball Security Draws Early Scrutiny

Ball security questions and thin depth keep veteran help in play.

Overview

  • Seattle used the final pick of the first round on Price to replenish a backfield hit by Kenneth Walker III’s exit and Zach Charbonnet’s ACL rehab.
  • Notre Dame reporter Joshua Vowles said Price’s fumble issues are real, noting that some came near the goal line.
  • Scouts highlight Price’s burst, vision and one-cut style that can turn small creases into long gains.
  • Price logged only 295 college touches and never topped 15 carries in a game, which makes him a traits-based bet.
  • Analysts, including Bleacher Report’s Zach Bachar, have floated Joe Mixon as a possible veteran addition while Seattle sorts roles and trust.
