Seattle hasn't taken a running back in the first round since Shaun Alexander in 2000.
Just about everything that could go wrong for the Seahawks’ tailback corps in 2017 did.
Eddie Lacy became one of the bigger free-agent busts in the team’s recent history (179 yards).
Thomas Rawls, two years ago regarded as a rising star, couldn’t hold on to the starting job despite being handed it twice during the season and averaged just 2.7 yards per carry — less than half the 5.6 of his rookie season.
And Chris Carson, a rookie who surprisingly won the job heading into the season, played just four games before being lost for the season.
