While the answer to the question of whether the Seahawks will draft a running back next week or not seems certain to be “yes,” there are two questions that hang over that certainty: At what point in the draft will they do so? And, who will the running back be?
With several more pressing needs still to be filled, it seems unlikely Seattle will look to add a tailback at the top of the draft—though it can’t be put past them, having used first- and second-round selections on the position previously. The sweet spot for the Seahawks to target a running back should be in the middle rounds, anywhere from the back-half of round three to round five.
