The Seattle Seahawks used their first two picks in the 2022 NFL draft to fill their biggest needs on both sides of the ball (outside of quarterback), but they threw their customary curveball with the second of their back-to-back picks in the early second round.
At No. 40 overall, the Seahawks selected Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker III, adding yet another dynamic runner to their offensive backfield.
While the Seahawks certainly had more pressing needs elsewhere, it’s easy to see why Walker was high on their draft board. One of the top running back prospects in this year’s class, Walker has all the traits to be a Pro Bowler at the next level.
