Trying to predict what the Seattle Seahawks will do during the draft is a futile effort. With Pete Carroll and John Schneider at the helm, the dynamic duo will often zig when others zag.
With their fourth pick in the 2023 NFL draft (No. 52 overall) the Seahawks decided to add to their running back stable with UCLA’s Zach Charbonnet. Charbonnet will go alongside former second round pick Kenneth Walker III to help give Seattle an explosive backfield.
However, reactions are a bit mixed on Charbonnet. Take a look at what fans online had to say.
As far as I’m concerned, Schneider crushed the second round. Love both picks. Physical, run stuffing DE and a physical runner? Yup.

Friendly reminder that we got Chris Carson in the 7th round

I LOVE Charbonnet and the Hawks need a RB, but feels weird to pass up on an IOL or DT.

At this point I’m so accustomed to the Seahawks taking running backs even earlier, I see a late second and kinda shrug.

He’s really good—after Bijan, the most *complete* back in the class. Pass catching upside, too.
They had…other needs. But like I said, I’m a broken woman. https://t.co/VuRJG4PAAE

There were two players nicknamed the “Terminator” in this draft by their teammates.
One went third overall (Will Anderson) & the other just went 52nd to the Seahawks (Zach Charbonnet).
