Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks let Washington Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

When a board-topper like Mike Washington Jr. slides to pick 96, you do not overthink it, and the Seahawks did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Chris Johnson
In slot 32 they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick64 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the Round 2 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick96 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
You do not let a running back like Mike Washington Jr. reach Round 3, Pick 32 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
