Marshawn Lynch has hung up the cleats, and the Seattle Seahawks are still trying to find out who is going to replace him as their workhorse back. So far, both Thomas Rawls and Christine Michael have failed to show that they’re worthy of 20-plus carries a game.

However, the Seahawks could try to find their next franchise running back in a class that’s loaded with them. Fournette, Cook and McCaffrey are all gone, but the Seahawks can still grab Nick Chubb with the No. 28 selection.

Chubb is a compact running back that can shed off tacklers and hit the hole with speed when he sees it. The production hasn’t been there at Georgia this season with opposing defenses stacking the box, but the talent can’t be denied.

With Chubb playing in the backfield behind Russell Wilson, the Seahawks offense could potentially get back on track.
