They knew carson was a health risk, hide is a used up jag, dallas is ok but not a lead back. They did the bare minimum. For a team that wants to be run first and dominant, thats not enough.
Many analysts were on the side of the fence saying the Hawks are stacked at the RB position heading into the season...

Haven't heard a word on his progress so I'm guessing he'll be IR'd the rest of the season.
I get what you're saying but health risk or not, the FO can not spend multiple draft picks on the RB position especially since they are no longer a run first team. That scheme finally changed after last season. There were other team needs that needed to be drafted first before drafting a second RB.
Media people are 90% coming up with BS so they have something to talk about. They were wrong, we arent stacked we are where we were last year and its killing the team again.Many analysts were on the side of the fence saying the Hawks are stacked at the RB position heading into the season...
Could Seahawks have the NFL's best running back group in 2020?
With two RBs who had over 1,000 yards in 2019, could the Seahawks have the NFL's best RB room? Bob, Dave and Moore discuss the state of that group for 2020.
They should have drafted one higher. This draft so far is another ho hum, nobody really stands out at the moment but we will see.
It's tough to draft a RB higher in the draft cause Carson was going to be fully healthy, Hyde to back up, Homer as the RB3 and Penny who we thought would have been back by now. Maybe next year they take a RB with a higher pick but they don't have a whole lot of picks to spare at the moment.
Easy to say now... What would you have done differently? Here was your comment after our draft in May '20... You made this comment before we signed Carlos Hyde... You were basically saying that you'd rather play our rookie rather than sign another RB...
Oh damn, I thought we signed Hyde before the draft. Anyways, it was a good signing on the cheap side.
Hindsight is 20/20. If they'd have spent a high draft pick on a RB last year while they still had Carson, Penny, and Homer on the roster this board would have went crazy asking "why??"
I was on here pre draft talking about RBs and there were some good ones going in. I liked the dallas pick but it wasnt what we needed.
It happened last year, it wasnt hard to see coming. Carson has always been injury prone, its part of being a juggernaut. Unfortunately they didnt have the hindsight to get another RB like him and instead went with small or finesse backs.
