While they have a few areas where they could improve, including the interior of the offensive line, Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon says their running back situation is the biggest question that must be answered ahead of the draft<\/a>.<\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks’ biggest question: How should they address the running game?

That said, they could also decide that their backfield could move the chains with more ease should they strengthen up the interior of the offensive line.<\/p>\n “Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III escaped as a free agent, and the interior offensive line was a weak link to begin with. That could be accentuated with less explosive talent in the backfield. Seattle might look to replace Walker and\/or right guard Anthony Bradford early in the draft,” Gagnon said.<\/p>\n One huge factor to consider when discussing their options is the health of Zach Charbonnet. A second-round pick out of UCLA, Charbonnet’s numbers have increased every year in the league. In 2025, he had 730 yards and 12 touchdowns, but suffered a torn ACL <\/a>in the Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n News surrounding Charbonnet has been positive<\/a>, with general manager John Schneider saying the surgery was a success, while adding that Charbonnet will attack the rehab.<\/p>\n “If it was up to Charb (Zach Charbonnet), he probably would have just braced it up and played in the last two games. He’s a true pro. He’s so strong and his work ethic is outstanding. The surgery went very well and the outlook is good. I’m sure he’s going to attack his rehab like anything else he does,” Schneider said via Seattle Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n While he’s determined to work his way back as soon as possible, his status to start the season is still in doubt. <\/p>\n \u2014\u00a0Enjoy free coverage of the Super Bowl champions from Seattle Seahawks On SI<\/a>\u00a0\u2014<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
