D’Andre Swift was selected by the Detroit Lions with the 35th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft out of the University of Georgia.<\/p>\n
The Seattle Seahawks<\/a> suffered a major loss when running back Kenneth Walker III left in free agency, but the team could hit the trade block to replace their Super Bowl MVP.<\/p>\n Walker joined the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> at the start of free agency, leaving the Seahawks with Zach Charbonnet to lead their backfield. With concerns over Charbonnet\u2019s season-ending injury and the lack of production behind him, one analyst suggests that the team take aim at a versatile running back on the trade market.<\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks Could Find Perfect Fit in D\u2019Andre Swift<\/p>\n SI.com\u2019s Jeremy Brener<\/a> suggested that the Seahawks pursue Chicago Bears running back D\u2019Andre Swift, a versatile player who has amassed more than 6,800 yards from scrimmage since coming into the NFL in 2020.<\/p>\n \u201cFollowing the loss of Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency, Seattle\u2019s backfield is in a state of flux. While the draft offers potential, a trade for Chicago Bears running back D\u2019Andre Swift presents a win-now opportunity for the defending Super Bowl champions,\u201d Brener wrote.<\/p>\n Brener added that Swift fits the mold of Seattle\u2019s favored running backs, physical and versatile enough to make contributions in both the rushing and passing games.<\/p>\n \u201cSeattle\u2019s current depth chart is thin,\u201d Brener wrote. \u201cBeyond the injured Charbonnet, the roster features Emanuel Wilson, George Holani and Kenny McIntosh.\u201d<\/p>\n Brener suggested the Seahawks could land Swift for a mid-round pick, allowing them to trade down from the No. 32 spot instead of using that pick on a running back. This trade would also be necessary to give the Seahawks \u2014 who have only four draft picks \u2014 the capital needed to land Swift. The move would also give Charbonnet more time to recover \u201cwithout rushing him back,\u201d Brener added.<\/p>\n Given the team\u2019s pressure to defend their Super Bowl title, landing Swift could be closer to a necessity, he added.<\/p>\n \u2018The Seahawks have a wide open Super Bowl window. Relying on a rookie or a committee of unproven backups to replace Walker\u2019s production is a risk,\u201d Brener wrote. \u201cBy acquiring Swift, Seattle gets a dynamic, dual-threat weapon who fits the offensive identity and is available at a discounted price due to Chicago\u2019s roster transition.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tNathan Dougherty<\/a> is a sports reporter covering the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins.
