There was great expectation that they would trade back to gain more capital later on in the draft, but once again they did a stick and pick.
With the 32nd pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select… Jadarian Price, running back, Notre Dame Yes, the Seahawks have gone with running back in the first round. Kenneth Walker left to go to the Kansas City Chiefs, Zach Charbonnet is injured, and the only addition in free agency was Green Bay Packers backup Emanuel Wilson. Price himself was a backup running back to Jeremiyah Love, who went to the Arizona Cardinals at No.
3 overall. Not a lot of touches for Price, but he’s shown a lot of NFL talent even in his limited reps with the Fighting Irish. Here’s the rundown of Price from The Athletic’s Dane Brugler : A part-time player at Notre Dame, Price was the primary backup behind Jeremiyah Love in offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock’s varied run scheme (counter, pin-pull, outside zone).
Despite not logging a single start over four years in South Bend, he would have been RB1 for most FBS programs and was consistently productive when given opportunities (6. 2 yards per carry in 2025). He also impacted the game on special teams, becoming the first player in Notre Dame history to have multiple kick-return touchdowns of 100 yards or more in the same season.
