Hour 2 - Brock's Thoughts On Jadarian Price, Who Is Jadarian Price, Blue 88

The Seahawks made a bold, context-driven decision to select Jadarian Price with the 32nd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, a move that defied conventional first-round wisdom but was justified by a perfect storm of roster needs, injury context, and strategic value. Brock Heward and Mike Salk argue that the pick wasn't just about talent—it was about urgency: with Ken Walker gone, Travis Kelce’s absence, and a lack of depth at running back, the Seahawks had no viable alternative. Price’s explosive speed, scheme fit in the outside zone system, and fresh legs from just 280 college carries made him a unique value, especially with the fifth-year option that locks in his prime years. The hosts also highlight Price’s character—loyalty to Notre Dame, resilience from his mother’s cancer battles, and a work ethic that makes him an 'unfinished product' with massive upside. Despite criticism over fumbling and lack of production, the duo sees the selection as a masterclass in situational drafting, not a gamble. The episode also dissects the broader draft trends, including the Cardinals’ shock pick of Jeremiah Love, the Rams’ controversial selection of Ty Simpson (which the hosts call a 'worst pick' despite his character), and the league’s clear shift toward big, physical linemen. The hosts use data and narrative to argue that the Seahawks’ move wasn’t just about need—it was about building a team that runs the ball, plays with grit, and values long-term development over flash.
