Did the Seattle Seahawks make a mistake letting Kenneth Walker III get away?
Walker returns to Seattle on Sunday Night Football thriving in the Kansas City Chiefs offense, while the Seahawks are still searching for answers in their own struggling running game. Dan Viens and NFL Draft analyst Rob Rang examine Seattle's offseason process versus the results we're seeing now. Was moving on from Walker defensible roster management, or did the Seahawks underestimate how difficult his explosiveness would be to replace?
Dan and Rob also take a deeper look at Seattle's injury-plagued 2026 NFL Draft class. With Jadarian Price among the rookies whose development has been interrupted, what should expectations be going forward? Rob evaluates the upside of Price, Bud Clark, Beau Stephens, Michael Dansby and other young Seahawks who could still become important pieces of Seattle's future.
Plus, it's Seahawks-Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. How can Mike Macdonald's defense handle Walker's return while also dealing with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce? Seattle's run defense faces one of its biggest tests yet as the Seahawks try to protect home field and pull off a massive primetime upset.
