The Seattle Seahawks have seen a lot of their players leave in free agency, with Riq Woolen, Boye Mafe, and Coby Bryant all big losses.

But the biggest loss was Kenneth Walker III. Losing their Super Bowl MVP to the Kansas City Chiefs was a tough blow for Seattle this offseason. Now, even after signing Emmanuel Wilson, the Seahawks' running back spot is their biggest need.

With such a need, ESPN's Peter Schrager , in his latest mock draft, based on what he's hearing from around the league, projected the Seahawks to make a very aggressive decision with a Notre Dame running back, but not with Jeremiyah Love, Jadarian Price. Seahawks projected to take Jeremiyah Love's backup with 32nd pick "But Price is the No. 2 running back in this class and would provide some nice pop to the Seattle offense after the departure of Kenneth Walker III via free agency," Schrager writes.

Seattle taking Price with the 32nd pick would be an aggressive move for John Schneider and company to replace Walker. They could decide to wait until Round 2 or 3 to find another running back to add to the backfield alongside George Holani, Wilson, and Zach Charbonnet once he's back. But, Schrager's projection has the Seahawks sticking and picking with Price, the Notre Dame backup running back, being the pick.
