Seattle Seahawks’ general manager John Schneider havde inden draftens første runde planer om at bytte sig ud af det 32. valg, men udviklingen i de foregående picks ændrede alt. Fem ud af seks picks inden Seahawks’ tur blev handlet væk, hvilket efterlod Schneider uden muligheder for at rykke ned i draften uden at miste positionen til at nå running back Jadarian Price.
Resultatet blev, at Seahawks blev på plads og valgte Price til deres offensive backfield. »Han er en fantastisk spiller og et fantastisk menneske,« udtalte Schneider til holdets officielle hjemmeside. »Vi troede i et stykke tid, at han havde chancer, men det faldt i sidste ende fra hinanden. Der var meget handel lige foran os, men han stod alene tilbage. Fantastisk spiller. Personen er fremragende, konkurrencemanden er en ægte Seahawk. Det er virkelig fedt.«
Schneider havde oprindeligt ønsket at rykke ned i draften, da Seahawks havde fire picks med ind i draften. Men med Kenneth Walkers afgang som free agent og behovet for en ny running back, blev Prises potentiale afgørende. Selvom planen om at bytte sig ud faldt til jorden, vil det blive glemt, hvis Price leverer en stærk præstation i Super Bowl-sæsonen.
