The former UCLA running back will share carries alongside Kenneth Walker III.
This for me is where the pick makes the most sense. Including the playoff game, Walker lll only had 28 catches for the Seattle Seahawks last season. For UCLA in only 10 games last season, Charbonnet had 37 catches, which is 18 more than Walker lll had in his entire NCAA career. Charbonnet by no means is an Austin Ekeler type receiver out of the backfield who is going to haul in 4+ catches a game. But importantly, he runs the full running back route tree, and he runs it well.
On top of that, Charbonnet also was tasked with a lot of the 3rd down pass protection for UCLA. This is something Walker lll has not done much of in his career, and when he has, he has looked shaky at it.I know for most the initial reaction to the Charbonnet pick was what the . But in the grand scheme of things, I think it is one that makes a lot of sense and only makes this offense more dangerous and dynamic for multiple reasons.
