The Seahawks used the 41st pick of the draft to lock in Kenneth Walker. Seattle is known for its love of the rushing game but just how far does this landing spot push Walker up boards?
Seattle made Kenneth Walker the second running back selected in the 2022 draft by locking him in with the 41st pick. It’s no secret that Pete Carroll loves to run the ball. As a natural result, fantasy managers are intrigued by the pairing. Of course, Chris Carson is still on the depth chart as is Rashaad Penny. And while this might feel very exciting in an initial reaction, it’s worth noting that Seattle ran the ball more times than just five teams last season. Not to say that this landing spot destroys his chances of being successful but a rushing share of 65% or higher isn’t a guarantee.
