Round 3, Pick 101: Zack Moss, RB, Utah
A third round pick on a running back isn’t exactly what I had in mind, but with Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny’s injury history, and Travis Homer’s inexperience, it makes sense for this team to add depth to their running back corps however they can.
Moss is about as Seahawks-ey as a prospect can get, with a violent, explosive running style that makes him an ideal fit as a third-and-short or goal line back.
He’s a patient runner who is built like a mack truck and absorbs contact with the best of them, and combining him with Carson and Penny would give Seattle a formidable running back trio in 2020 – and gives them excellent injury insurance.
The Seahawks met with Moss at the combine, and while that rarely means too much it could be more important now that other prospect meetings and pro days are cancelled, giving Seattle less exposure to other potential picks.
