Video reaction to the Beau Stephens pick…

When you’re picking at the end of every round, it’s not easy to come away feeling like things have fallen your way. Despite this, after two days of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Seahawks can feel really good about the players they’ve acquired.

This always felt like it was going to be an exercise in replacing lost talent. With each pick, it was easy to see value matching need at multiple positions. In Jadarian Price, Bud Clark and Julian Neal — they’ve filled three of four key vacancies without reaching.

I don’t do a vertical board ranking players one after the other. I do a horizontal board where players are stacked in ranges. Therefore, I never quote that players are ’32nd on my board’ or anything like that. When I reviewed the board earlier today, I can say that Price was one of the 30 best players in this draft in my opinion.

Taking him at #32 immediately addressed Seattle’s need to add big plays to their running game and took the pressure off needing to find solutions later on at the position. Kaelon Black is the only other running back to be selected since, pointing to the scarce options this year.

Bud Clark was a solid mid-second round player for me and they got him ay #64. I had him graded higher than Emmanuel McNeil-Warren and just behind Treydan Stukes. This was a fantastic value pick for a terrific player.

I had Julian Neal bunched among several corners with a mid-third round grade. They got him at #99. Again, the value is clear as they replace the length they lost with Riq Woolen departure.

How can you not love his reaction to being drafted by the way?

The Seahawks didn’t do anything like start drafting fourth round tight ends like multiple teams, come up with the idea that Carson Beck is a possible solution at quarterback or use a third round pick on a late round receiver like the Dolphins. For the fifth draft in the row they executed what feels like a textbook plan to add value and talent.

I don’t think it could’ve gone any better frankly.

Meanwhile, Seattle’s nearest rivals in the NFC failed — in my opinion — to get significantly better, with the exception of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who I think are having a great draft.

They still need to replace Boye Mafe and that’ll be something they likely use the veteran market for, with Dante Fowler and Von Miller two standout options. With $29m in effective cap space, they can begin negotiations knowing their comp picks are secure from Monday.

Enjoy these days, Seahawks fans. You’re Super Bowl Champions and have the right people running the franchise. Very few teams get to say that.

Bud Clark (S, TCU)

An interception machine with 15 picks for TCU. He was a two-time team captain who is said to be highly respected by team-mates.

Clark plays every down with a sparky energy. He’s clearly a competitive player who loves the game. His ball skills, unsurprisingly given his production, are really good — he makes difficult catches look easy.

He’s capable of playing roaming centre field and has enough range to play the ball on deep throws. He’s not an eraser, so don’t expect Earl Thomas. But he’s quick and shows evidence of recovery speed.

Played mostly slot in 2025 (313 snaps), then the box (250), then free safety (160). He will jump up and dislodge the ball or tip passes when he can’t make a pick.

He just has a very natural knack for being in the right place at the right time.

Clark’s eyes sometimes stay on the QB too long and I worry about post routes when he does this. I’ve seen receivers get in behind him and sometimes he was lucky not to get torched. I would prefer to see him playing with things in front of him, not at the line too often.

His blitzes can be sharp, dynamic and come unexpectedly from the deep field. He only missed three tackles in 2025 and his run defense grade was high (83.1).

He was outstanding at the Senior Bowl, winning multiple 1v1’s. This is not typical for a safety and he came away with the play of the week with a crazy acrobatic grab for an interception during practise in Mobile.

Julian Neal (CB, Arkansas)

Great length and size (6-2, 208lbs, 33 1/8 inch arms). His wingspan/arm length looks like a real asset on tape.

I expected him to be leggy at his size but he closes quickly and sticks downfield. He was the 13th fastest player at the Senior Bowl, running 20.22 mph.

He doesn’t have top-level quickness and NFL speed-demons could give him trouble downfield.

He’s competitive when the ball’s in the air. He was predominantly used outside but did get snaps in the slot and the box in 2025. He only missed four tackles in his final season for Arkansas.

He’s a tremendous run defender and this will be a major plus point. His tackles are forceful and he’s an extremely physical defender for a corner.

Neal did get away with some early contact in 2025 that could be flagged in the NFL.

Watching him it was so easy to see he was well worth a middle round pick to try and develop. He will bring size and length to the position to make up for the loss of Woolen.

If you missed my write-up on the Jadarian Price pick last night, click here.

The Seahawks addressed the running back position. Now, the key is to come away with an edge rusher and at least one defensive back today.

I’ve updated my horizontal board with the drafted players removed:

There are 17 players with firm second round grades or higher on my board and 37 players I would be prepared to take at #64. There should be some good options available when they’re next on the clock.

If there are more surprises, such as additional quarterbacks being drafted, the Seahawks might feel comfortable trading back from #64. That’s something to keep an eye on.

I still think Keyron Crawford could be a key target. The GPS data we have on him shows he is tremendously quick over 10 yards (16.4mph — the fastest of the available options). He also had the largest number of high-speed plays (17) — measuring any play where he reaches 16mph.

They need speed in their rush and Crawford is a ball of clay waiting to be moulded.

I have 11 defensive end or edge rushers graded in the third round or higher. They will have alternative options here and can use the depth to their advantage.

Cornerback remains loaded, with 14 players graded before round three. I think they can find an extremely productive corner at #64 and possibly even #96.

It might be that there are great options remaining at the end of round two and people understand why Jadarian Price + the player they get is a better combo than Colton Hood or Brandon Cisse and hoping a running back lasts to #96.

I have six safeties graded in round three or higher, so this might be a trickier position to address — yet clearly the likes of Treydan Stukes, Bud Clark, AJ Haulcy, Jalon Kilgore and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren could be intriguing in this defense.

Other options could include a linebacker, with the excellent Josiah Trotter recently visiting Seattle. Iowa duo Gennings Dunker and Beau Stephens could be in play.

I do think the needs will match value though and they’ll continue to address the areas they need to fill. Remember, in the 2014 off-season they lost Golden Tate and Breno Giacomini in free agency after winning the Super Bowl. They cut Chris Clemons to save money.

They drafted Paul Richardson, Justin Britt and Cassius Marsh with their first three picks — directly replacing what they lost.

They replaced Ken Walker with their top pick last night. Today, I would imagine the priorities will be replacing Boye Mafe and Riq Woolen.

On the 27th March I wrote an article titled:

‘Do you want big plays in your running game?‘

The Seahawks gave their answer today. They do.

I’m going to try and explain in this piece why the Jadarian Price pick makes sense. I think, if you read it to the end, you might end up agreeing.

Firstly, let’s go to the data on ‘big plays’. They selected Price to fill the void left by Ken Walker in terms of explosive running ability for their offense. There was nobody more equipped to do this than Price, once his Notre Dame team-mate Jeremiyah Love was selected third overall by the Cardinals.

Let’s start by looking at explosive run rates for the 2025 college football season. This measures the percentage of +10 yard runs a player has within their total running attempts:

Jadarian Price – 21.2%
Jeremiyah Love – 19.6%
Mike Washington – 18%
Emmett Johnson – 14.3%
Kaytron Allen – 14.3%
Kaelon Black – 14%
Jonah Coleman – 12.7%
Roman Hemby – 11.3%
Nick Singleton – 9.7%
J’Mari Taylor – 9.5%

The average rate over the last decade for running backs entering the league is 16%. As you can see, only three players are ‘above average’ and many of the big name backs in this class are significantly below that mark.

Price is #1 ahead of Love. So right off the bat, that helps explain why he was attractive to the Seahawks.

How does Price’s rate compared to previous highly-drafted Seahawks running backs? See for yourself:

Zach Charbonnet – 22.7%
Rashaad Penny — 20%
Ken Walker – 17.6%

His 21.2% mark is right in their wheelhouse. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that he appealed to them as an attractive option to replace what they lost with Ken Walker.

Now let’s look at missed tackles forced rate. This is also important. How do you turn a +10 yard run into a long scoring run? By making people miss.

Jadarian Price — 28.3%
Jeremiyah Love — 28.1%
Emmett Johnson — 27.1%
Kaytron Allen — 27.1%
J’Mari Taylor — 24.8%
Rashul Faison — 24%
Jonah Coleman — 23.6%
Seth McGowan — 21.1%
Noah Whittington — 20.9%
Demond Claiborne — 20.7%
Mike Washington Jr — 20.4%
Adam Randall — 19%
Jam Miller — 16.9%
Roman Hemby — 16.1%
Kaelon Black — 16.1%
Le’Veon Moss — 15.6%
Nicholas Singleton — 15.3%
Chip Trayanum — 12.6%

Once again, Price is at the very top of the class — ahead of his team-mate Love. Also, for the second time, his rate of 28.3% compares favourably to former high draft picks at the position:

Ken Walker – 33.6%
Rashaad Penny — 29.7%
Zach Charbonnet – 25.8%

I wrote a piece two weeks ago specifically noting the importance of making people miss. Here’s what I wrote about Price:

Watch this collection of clips from Jadarian Price. Notice how consistently he slips through contact and then when in space, is able to make people miss. This is particularly the case when he gets outside and is faced with one tackle to beat to reach either the corner of the end zone or to break contain to get a first down:

 
Price will drop a shoulder, fake-out the defender and then pivot to quickly change direction to juke away from attempted tackles. This is how you make good runs great runs. This is the difference between finding a way to score and getting tackled just short. He clearly has a knack for making people miss, eluding tackles and extending runs. The data and the tape show this.

It’s pretty clear that Price is well equipped to provide the spark they lost when Walker departed. Why is that important? I don’t think they are able to come back against the Rams in week 16 without Walker at least keeping them in it with a 55-yard touchdown run to start the second half. In the post-season, Walker had the most +10 yard runs (9), the most yards after contact (211), the longest run (30 yards) and the most first downs (17).

You might ask, why not just keep Walker then? It’s quite simple. His cap-hit for 2026 is $5.7m but it elevates to $18.7m for 2027 and 2028. Price’s cap-hit will be approximately $2.6m as a rookie and by year four, he will only cost $4.6m.

That is a hugely significant thing to consider given the status of the Seahawks. They have just set records with a new contract for Jaxon Smith-Njigba and will inevitably pay Devon Witherspoon a massive extension soon. They paid Charles Cross a few months ago. In 12 months they might pay big money to Byron Murphy and Sam Darnold. Derick Hall is also entering the final year of his deal.

You have to find savings somewhere. Yes, they have invested a first round pick at running back and people will obsess about the use of that asset. What this does, however, is give them an opportunity to replace Walker adequately at a majorly reduced price. This is critical when you have so many players set to be paid big money. Cash and cap-space is not limitless in the NFL.

Running backs drafted in this range typically offer two things — early impact and cheap contracts. That’s also what they needed, along with the big plays.

Meanwhile, on the field, if your running game can remain super-charged, you will continue to complement your defense and be highly competitive.

People might point to the lack of positional value. I think you need to consider how weak this draft is overall. For example, when I spoke to Drew Fabianich the Senior Bowl Executive a few weeks ago, he admitted that the cornerback group was full of #2 types. Included were Chris Johnson and Colton Hood. If a cornerback doesn’t have the potential to be a #1 corner, is that really any more worthy of a first round pick than a good running back?

I liked Emmanuel Pregnon a lot. Is swapping him to right guard again, for a shot to replace Anthony Bradford, really any more worthy of the investment? And they brought Kayden McDonald in for a visit. They did their homework — and several other teams with far bigger needs at defensive tackle passed on him too.

Most teams stack their board with number gradings. When you have players bunched together, you typically use ‘need’ as a tie-breaker. That isn’t reaching per se, it’s simply how you make decisions. It’s why most teams typically address perceived needs throughout round one.

I want to finish with this. I don’t cite a ton of sources. I have been able to cultivate a few contacts over the years though. After all, my full-time job is a Senior Journalist for the BBC.

One of my sources is an extremely well respected, successful executive and talent evaluator. When I spoke to that individual a few weeks ago, unprompted, he brought up Jadarian Price. He told me Price, “can be special” and that he had size, toughness and vision — adding that his hip flexibility was a big positive.

The source said he was built to be a good pro and could even be better than Jeremiyah Love, potentially. He felt he was explosive and a more ‘typical’ NFL styler runner than Love.

When I asked for ranges, the answer I got was that Love would go early in round one (he did) and that Price would be an early second round pick (he pretty much was). After that, the feeling was no other running back would go until the late third round at the earliest.

The Seahawks could ill-afford to hope for the best at the position later on, miss out and be left ringing Najee Harris next week. If they’d been able to trade down and acquire more stock, perhaps they could feel more confident that someone like Jonah Coleman or Mike Washington Jr would be easier to acquire?

With so many trade-ups happening late in the first, it’s possible the offers ran out. At least the reasonable offers.

If they believed Price was the real deal, they had to consider him once they knew they were staying at #32. The data proves he was the explosive, big-play runner they needed — and the cost saving at the position fits where they are financially.

There is ample depth at defensive back and pass rush for day two.

Even if Price wasn’t your ideal scenario at the start of round one, the pick the Seahawks made at #32 made sense.

Also, for my final horizontal board grading 270 players, click here.

The options at #32

I’m pretty sure the Seahawks will do all they can to trade down (I’ll come back to that in a minute). If they have to stick and pick I think it’s more likely than not to be a defensive back they select.

In yesterday’s mock I noted Chris Johnson and Treydan Stukes as the two players I’m most keenly eyeing for Seattle’s pick. In Daniel Jeremiah’s mock both players are off the board. What would happen then?

I still think it could be a cornerback or safety. Brandon Cisse could go earlier than the consensus. It’s also going to be interesting to see how teams view Avieon Terrell. I just think the value of this class at #32 points to a cornerback or safety being their first selection.

What about Jadarian Price?

The conversation on Price within the media could easily be emulated within draft rooms. A lot of people are torn on where he deserves to be placed in this class.

Daniel Jeremiah thinks he’s the 34th best player. Lance Zierlein has him in a similar range. Yet others see him more as a middle-of-day-two player.

I don’t have a ton of sources. I write a blog at the end of the day. But I have spoken to someone in the league, someone who I think would be universally viewed as an excellent talent evaluator. That individual, when we spoke, brought Price up without prompting and said he was a heck of a player, could be better than Jeremiyah Love and deserved to go in the early second round.

If John Schneider agrees, he might take him at #32. Or after a small move down. The Seahawks need big plays at running back and per the 2025 numbers, Price is #1 in the class for explosive run rate, #1 for missed tackles forced rate and #2 for yards after contact per attempt (behind only Love).

I’m not convinced though. There’s such a small sample size for Price given his backup role at Notre Dame. As I mentioned to Jeff Simmons during our stream last night, quality running backs often last into round two. I like Price — but I don’t think he’s the next Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor or Dalvin Cook.

I still think they will seek value later on and I think Jonah Coleman or Mike Washington Jr could be seen as key alternatives.

Trading down opens everything up

If I think a defensive back is arguably most likely at #32, trading down could open things up. It potentially brings the guards into play. There will be defensive linemen who warrant consideration. I think at #32 ‘best player available’ could match one of Seattle’s biggest needs. Later in round two, best player available may not. There will be a lot of options.

What’s a trade-down scenario?

I just have a hard time thinking the Cardinals (or anyone else) will wait until the last pick of the night to go and get Ty Simpson. You either want him or you don’t. Teams in front of Seattle would likely accept the same kind of offer to move down.

A more plausible trade-down scenario for me involves the receivers. If the Jets don’t take a receiver at #16, and if they don’t trade back into round one themselves, they will be an obvious place for a receiver to land.

Teams like the Titans, Raiders, Browns, Saints, Dolphins, Ravens and Falcons theoretically could be in the receiver market. Getting ahead of the Jets could be key if a player they really like lasts.

If you want an attractive trade-down offer, it might be time to root for players like Denzel Boston, KC Concepcion and Omar Cooper Jr to last.

How would a big trade-down help the Seahawks?

If you trade down to #34 you might get a fifth rounder in return. If you move down to #45, you might get a mid-third rounder.

If you don’t want to draft Jadarian Price early but want to make sure you get Jonah Coleman (for example) — having a bonus pick #80 could offer some security there, if you think waiting all the way to #96 is too risky.

If you had #45, #64, #80 and #96 — you also might be able to replace all of the players you lost in free agency in areas of value range. That might be the ideal plan over the next three days. Or, alternatively, that extra high pick gives you the flexibility to draft a player at a non-key need position.
