I brought that up, I think it probably played into the strategy. Sounds like they could be getting Charb back sooner than expected. It's about risk management. Put together a decent rb room this season around a charbonnet return. Next season you still have your cap room and twelve picks in what's a better draft I imagine.
That to me is how to build a dynasty.

I meant to post an ESPN comment about JS, what sets him apart from other GMs. Its his ability to look forward, he doesn't look back. He's willing to move on from players. You look at the players he's been willing to move, it's pretty remarkable actually. And he has had so much success at it.
How and When Do Most Athletes Return

It is helpful to consider the track record of other athletes’ road to recovery following ACL reconstruction. Traditional wisdom holds that athletes return to sport within 6-12 months of an ACL injury. However, recent studies have turned this idea on its head.


One study evaluated 187 amateur and competitive athletes with ACL injuries and found that only 31% returned to the sport in the first 12 months, and that number only climbed to 60% at 24-months post-surgery.2 Another multicenter study examined the question with a specific focus on football. Researchers contacted 147 high school and collegiate football players and found similar return-to-play rates in both groups two years post-surgery—63% and 69%, respectively. However, only 43% of the players interviewed believed they returned to previous self-reported levels of performance; 27% felt that they never reached their pre-surgery performance and 30% were unable to return at all. Surprisingly, fear of re-injury or further damage to the knee was cited as the most common reason that players did not return to play.3 This study highlights two important facts: 1) return-to-play rates for football players are not as high as one might expect, and 2) psychological factors, particularly fear of re-injury, play a key role in athletes’ return to sport.

That's in terms of Charbonett? I am referring to this particular operation, what seems to have been learned in this case. It has nothing to do with the statistical evaluations in general
What this??? Oh yeah pretty definitive here. He should be back any day now. This is absolute fluff. What is he going to say. Unfortunately amputation was required but the prothesis should be ready in a few weeks. lol
There is some encouraging news for the Seahawks when it comes to Charbonnet. General manager John Schneider told Seattle Sports’ Wyman and Bob on Thursday the outlook is “very positive” when it comes to three-year pro’s recovery, though he did not offer a timeline for when Charbonnet could be back.

“He’s a true pro. He’s so strong and his work ethic is outstanding,” Schneider said. “… The surgery went very well and the outlook’s good. And I’m sure he’s going to attack his rehab like anything else, like he always does.”

Terms of week one starting. Wilson can be your week one starter. If JS uses a second round pick on a rb hopefully he makes an immediate impact as well. Calling it starting might be a little simplistic

More AI help
Recent second-round NFL draft picks who started at running back in their team's first game of the season as rookies include Jonathan Taylor (2020), J.K. Dobbins (2020 - started week 1 but not initially deemed starter), AJ Dillon (2020 - limited role), and Javonte Williams (2021). These players frequently stepped into immediate, high-volume roles within their offenses.

Javonte Williams (2021): Drafted by the Denver Broncos, he was quickly integrated as a key contributor.
Jonathan Taylor (2020): Drafted by the Indianapolis Colts, started early in his rookie season due to injuries.
J.K. Dobbins (2020): Drafted by the Baltimore Ravens, established himself early, following up a productive rookie year with a strong career.

Other Notable Recent Day 2 RBs: While not always Week 1 starters, other top-selected backs in recent years include Zach Charbonnet (2023), Kenneth Walker III (2022), and Breece Hall (2022).
ESPN
ESPN
+1
These players often compete with veterans immediately but are selected with the expectation of becoming the primary ball carrier early in their careers
Totally fine starting Price if we drafted him. Are you sure he will be there at 64, the very last pick of the second round? And all we have is a 3rd to trade up.
Projected 2026 Draft Picks
Round 1: Pick 32
Round 2: Pick 64
Round 3: Pick 96
Chiefs are good to go but here are four other teams that need RBs.

Both Walker and Charb were second round picks that took multiple seasons to be truly productive but our new RB1 for this season is going to be a late day 2 pick. Singleton is expected to be a backup and Price who is projected to eventually be a starter.
You are so worried about being pissed about this you don't even bother checking your own facts.

Ken Walker as a rookie
1050 yards, 4.6 per carry 9 rushing and 6 receiving TDs

The ONLY year he had close to as good as that? Was last year.

Again, Chris Carson, Thomas Rawls come to mind as guys I'm sure you had ZERO clue who they were before they became studs. I still lament the injury Rawls had. That dude was a fucking wrecking ball before he got hurt.

Please DT, step away from the ledge. There is way to much booze left to drink to be as suicidal as you are at this moment! :lol:

LOL If you only knew. I checked into the ER at 7:30am Saturday morning for anxiety and Alcohol Detox and was there for 2 hours getting a Lithium IV. Haven't drank since. I think that is the problem! Ha

I did say that I would be fine if we drafted Price and started him, just no guarantee we can get him but hoping for the best.

Thanks. Yes, much better now. Been drinking for over 40 years but have never endured the brain poison mental health effects before recently.

Good piece by Stacy here and not just because she is hot and I agree with her. lol How could we not get in on ONE of these deals. Not willing to pay $6M a year after back to back 1000 yd seasons???
The first wave of free agency wiped the board clean of top candidates. The physically punishing Tyler Allgeier? He signed a two-year, $12.5 million deal with Arizona. Rico Dowdle? After back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, he signed a similar deal with Pittsburgh. The Texans traded for David Montgomery, and the Lions signed Isaiah Pacheco to round out their running back room in his place. Former Buccaneer Rachaad White (a favorite of Michael Bumpus) seemed like a promising fit, but he signed with the Commanders on Thursday.

So… what now?

The Seahawks have two options if they don’t want to lean on a relatively weak running back class in the NFL Draft for depth. First, they could add another, cheaper free agent running back.

Has to be cheap or after the draft. They do t want to give up comp picks. That’s why no free agent signings. Oh and have to pay JSN and spoon.
