Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Jackson Slater at Round 3, Pick 28. The Seahawks jumped the board by 57 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 18 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 50 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Milroe in the 52nd pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 82nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in pick No. 92 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
They paid sticker price for Aeneas Peebles in pick 137, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Monheim at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in slot 175 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick No. 223 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Shemar James
They went early on Shemar James in the 234th pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
