Will Jadarinan Price Be Seattle's RB1 Out of the Gates?
The Seattle Seahawks entered the 2026 NFL Draft with only four total picks, and they spent the first on Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, making him the second running back off the board with the 32nd and final pick of the first round. With Kenneth Walker III departing for Kansas City in free agency and Seattle otherwise slated to return 20 of 22 starters from their 2025 Super Bowl-winning team, the Seahawks had both the need and the luxury to spend first-round capital on what has recently been tabbed as a non-premium position. Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL in Seattle's Divisional Round win over the 49ers and is unlikely to be available for the start of the season, putting Price in position to battle Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, and Kenny McIntosh for the Week 1 starting running back job. Even with former offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak off to Las Vegas, the team is still likely to employ some sort of rotation, but Price's balance, vision, and finish should stand out in an otherwise pedestrian room, and the first-round investment would suggest he'll have every opportunity to claim and keep the lead back role. Price is RotoBaller's rookie RB2 and has now cemented his spot in the first round of dynasty rookie drafts.
