2026 DRAFT PICK #32: RB Jadarian Price

[CouchLogic]

Dude knows how to get his, this is going to be fun AF to watch him feast.

 

[Crizilla]

Fixed RB spot while saving money.
Looks like he can catch, knows how to get open on QB scramble plays, protects ball. etc.

I'm good with the pick partially because I learned a while ago to stop seeing the late first round as "true" first round. It's more like early second. The premiere picks typically stop around 15-20.

It'll be interesting, though. We won the Super Bowl in no small part because of Walker's talent and clutch gene. It takes a whole roster firing to win that thing.

Every year the talent is different. Some year's second and third rounds could be in the late first round.

This pick reminds me of signing Sam Darnold. It was truly the best move to make at that specific position and time

 

[Sperrydogg]

No RB has worn it for us since Beast. Shaquill Griffin wore it for two games last year, K'Von Wallace for three games the year prior, and that's it for any position.

If your a rb you gotta earn that number

 

[Seahawker]

I think they felt there was a much bigger hole at RB than they were letting on and feared if they waited until #64 that both Price and Washington might be gone.
You've got to roll the dice somewhere and I guess it's going to be at CB & RG.

This is how John built a super bowl team so im all about it. Drafting RBs instead of investing. Kinda thought we'd trade down but I like it

I was thinking they would also, but so many teams traded down in front of them. I don't think they had a partner
That being said i love the pick.

Anyone thinking that the Seahawks could’ve gone into the season with their current stable of running backs or could’ve waited to the end of the second round to hopefully get a running back they wiped who is still available. I think it’s out of their mind. The running backs in the draft are not simply interchangeable and equal. They obviously viewed Price as a cut above the rest and were unwilling to take their chances to “hopefully“ get someone that was close to his caliber at the end of round two.

I was so hung up on RG that I looked past the biggest need. The top 2 RBs (behind the main 2) had less than 100 yards combined all season. That's not enough yards, to know what you really have.

This is a needs draft, there was way to many positions that were left vacant during the off-season. Was he the best player available? Maybe, but probably not, however he does fill the greatest need.

 

[Jegpeg]

I was surprised, and even more surprised how the commentaters were convinced Price was the only option as we had such a need at RB.

I don't follow the college game much but IMO we had too glaring needs for an immediate starter, RB and CB. I thought Price at 32 was a bit of a reach and Washington and Coleman were viable options to get later so when we didn't trade down I was expecting CB, several options available, McCoy would probably be best if cleared medically, but having dropped so far he was obviously a risk but Hood and Terrell were on most draft boards at around this point so I was expecting us to take one of those.

Still I trust JS he knows far far more than me.

 

[CPHawk]

Remember when Miami produced a bunch or “back up” RBs. They turned out pretty good in the nfl.

 

[SmokinHawk]

Safe pick, not flashy or exciting. Happy with it.

 

[Titus Pullo]

Reload for another SB run.

Here's the Price POV on the call.

Not thrilled with the pick but not mad about it either because of the need. I do think we will miss Walker more than we’re leading on to with his ability to hit the corner and carry people.

Disappointed we couldn't grab an extra pick. But if there ever is a chance that the consolation prize can be better than the actual prize.........here it is. Welcome to the Seahawks Mr Price! Damn glad to have you!!

 

[HawkFreak]

Not all bad from the sports-world media so far. Unsportsmanlike this morning on ESPN LOVED the Price pick for Seattle. Said it was possibly their favorite pick of Round 1.

Barry Sanders backed up Thurman Thomas at Oklahoma State. Hopefully history will repeat itself.

 

[Aircrew]

I'm not mad at the pick but I really would have liked another D tackle or Bisontis out of A&M so we could give Bradford a greyhound bus ticket and deactivate his vmac access.

BAHHAHA!!! As a huge fan of B. Sanders, you didn't miss. It was a different era though. My first response is to say Barry juked every one, but this kid did average 6 yards a carry. We will see
