BREAKING: Seahawks Select UCLA RB Zach Charbonnet With No. 52 Pick

After taking Derick Hall at No. 37 overall, the Seattle Seahawks take UCLA's Zach Charbonnet at pick No. 52.

After selecting defensive end Derick Hall out of Auburn at No. 37 overall, the Seattle Seahawks used their other second-round pick on offense as they are taking UCLA running back Zach Charbonnet at No. 52. 

Running back may not have been a glaring need for the Seahawks entering the draft with Kenneth Walker III bursting onto the scene as a rookie, but now they have a dynamic duo out of the backfield. 

"Power rusher who can break tackles and drive piles but lacks athleticism to be a dynamic playmaker," SI Draft Bible wrote on Charbonnet. 

Charbonnet is the second offensive pick for the Seahawks in the draft, having drafted Ohio State receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba with the No. 20 overall pick. Adding Charbonnet to an offense already featuring DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Walker and Smith-Njigba will make life that much easier for quarterback Geno Smith.

It has been a productive draft so far for the Seahawks as they've landed high-value players with their first four selections. As they enter the later rounds they will look to continue adding key depth pieces to a roster that is poised to be a playoff contender once again.

The Seahawks are on the clock again with the No. 83 pick in the third round.
