Price has easy and immediate acceleration. He doesn't have a truly elite home run gear, but I won't be surprised if his runs in the low to mid 4.4s in the 40 with a strong 10-yard split. The strong acceleration makes him appear shot out of a cannon on many runs. He's a scheme-agnostic runner. Price has the contact balance and lower body strength to handle runs up the A gap while displaying the speed to consistently win the edge with stretch zone plays. Price has an awesome feel for pressing the line and exploding upfield. He can create yards for himself and make defenders look silly when he looks dead to rights with his short-area agility, vision, and decisiveness. Price is an adventure as a pass protector. He has more than a few reps where he was late on blitz pickup. If you're asking him to redirect incoming rushers or chip a defender, Price looks competent, but tasking him with holding his area of grass and standing up a rusher is more of a tall order. Price has a limited resume as a pass catcher in college with only 18 targets, but when he was asked to catch passes, he displayed soft, dependable hands (zero drops) and looked comfortable doing so. He transitions well from receiver to runner immediately. Dynasty Outlook: Well, it happened. Jadarian Price got first-round draft capital. Did I see that actually happening? Nope, but it did, and it's wonderful. Price's NFL projection requires some squint and seeing with a heavy dash of hope, but so did the projection for the back that he is replacing (Kenneth Walker). I expect Price to immediately fill the Walker role in the Seattle offense. Yes, that was disappointing last year, but Price will have the luxury of some extra runway with Zach Charbonnet recovering from a torn ACL. Price has the rushing talent and the faith of the coaching staff and front office (first-round draft capital) to take on more of the backfield work than Walker saw in 2025. Price is a top 6-8 rookie draft pick in Superflex and 1QB formats.
