The Seattle Seahawks running back room might not have Kenneth Walker III anymore, but they’re full of options already pre-draft.While mock drafts all expect the Seahawks to take one with one of their four draft picks, John Schneider’s comments on the Seahawks ball carriers haven’t sounded like someone ready to invest heavy draft capital in the position.Here’s what he said on Seattle Sports radio a few weeks ago:NFL.com’s Kevin Patra laid out how Schneider’s history favors the opposite as well. In Green Bay, he went with the relatively-unknown Ryan Grant as a lead back ahead of the 2007 season before he broke out for three straight 900-yard seasons.

He also led the Packers to eliminate the Seahawks in the 2008 playoffs, rushing 27 times for 201 yards and three touchdowns. This callback should make you think twice about overvaluing Walker’s playoff production, as it certainly did for Seattle’s general manager.Maybe the way to “Run it back” doesn’t rely on a new face at RB. Maybe they already got that in Emanuel Wilson.

Maybe they really do plan on George Holani leading the way until Zach Charbonnet’s back. Maybe that’s sooner than we think.The NFL draft never goes as expected, let alone from the Seahawks’ perspective. More doors are open than closed with this position.

They could bring in Coleman Bennett as a UDFA. They could draft Chip Trayanum on Day 3.Or they could roll with what they already have. They weren’t afraid to buck the trend investing heavily in Walker and Charbonnet with 2nd round picks in consecutive years, and they might buck the trend again by zigging when they’re finally expected to zag.This article originally appeared on Seahawks Wire: Seahawks, John Schneider don't need RB to "replace Kenneth Walker"
