Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Seahawks.

The war room fell hard for Clay Webb, and it showed at the 173rd overall pick: 69 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tre Harris
By-the-book stuff, Tre Harris at No. 50 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A conviction pick on Jordan Burch at pick No. 82 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
They reached into another round for Kaimon Rucker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Nothing to complain about; Darius Alexander went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 173rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick 187 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at pick No. 212 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in No. 236 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
