Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC-
Penix Jr. is the plan now, and the Seahawks grade out a D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Seahawks did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

So much rides on Michael Penix Jr. that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Landing Schrader that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton at the 16th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
They took Jalen McMillan at par in pick No. 78, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at slot 81 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
By-the-book stuff, Nelson Ceaser at Round 4, Pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sataoa Laumea. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 147th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett slid further than he should have, and pick 154 is lovely value for the cornerback. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at slot 194 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
Nice patience on Jontrey Hunter, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick236 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon in pick No. 236 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
