The Seahawks were concerned the 49ers would select their top choice at No. 33

Five of the six spots immediately preceding Seattle’s pick at 32 changed hands amid a flurry of trades, including Tennessee moving up to 31. That led to a few nervous minutes in the Seahawks’ draft room, with some fearing that the Titans — who were heavily linked to Love with the fourth pick — were jumping ahead of Seattle for Price. There was also concern that the San Francisco 49ers might take him with the first pick of the second round; Seattle’s division rivals later drafted Indiana running back Kaelon Black in Round 3. If you think the talk about consensus was too much last week, imagine if, with all of the perceived team needs, the 49ers used their first pick of the draft on a running back. The discourse would have been more nauseating than it already was. Seattle may have had bad intel if they thought the 49ers were going after Price. Or they used it to justify taking Price rather than trading back. Kyle Shanahan said the team had Kaelon Black as their RB2. So, somebody is off here.
