Zack Moss, RB, Utah
Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny are pencilled in as the team’s No. 1 and No. 2 running back in 2020, respectively, but both are dealing with season-ending injuries that required surgery.
While both are expected to make a full recovery, Penny could end up on the PUP list over the summer and both have already dealt with a handful of injuries in their young careers.
Seattle is losing C.J. Prosise to free agency, and they’ll need another back to join Carson, Penny and Travis Homer in the backfield in 2020.
Zack Moss from Utah has the physicality, brutality and strength to be a running back in Carroll’s system – much like the mold of Carson himself.
While drafting a running back on Day 2 may seem silly for a team that already has a solid trio of backs, it just takes one look at what happened last year to see how crucial depth is, especially for a team with a punishing running offense like the Seahawks.
Moss is good enough to play right away, and would give Seattle an immediate plug-and-play depth option should either Carson or Penny need a spell during the 2020 season – which seems all but certain given their history.
