Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesD- FutureA+
The phones sank the Seahawks this weekend: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Seahawks reached some 53 spots for Cody Lindenberg, and value like that does not grow back. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Maxwell Hairston at pick No. 82. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tai Felton
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tai Felton. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A tidy little value on Lathan Ransom in No. 109, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Baron in the 111th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 114th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They liked Logan Brown enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 129. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brashard Smith in Round 4, Pick 35. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in slot 169 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A reach on JJ Pegues in pick No. 170; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 CJ West
A premium they did not need to pay, CJ West a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They paid sticker price for Quincy Riley in the 173rd pick, and that is fine. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick 175 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Connor Colby
No drama and no debate, Connor Colby went about where he belonged in the 177th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at pick No. 179 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cody Lindenberg
Value said wait; Cody Lindenberg in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Shemar James
They reached a country mile for Shemar James at Round 6, Pick 30, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre in the 212th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Hawes in slot 216, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
A wild overpay on Thomas Fidone II in No. 223, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam is a better player than pick 230 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick234 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 234th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Rayuan Lane III
Rayuan Lane III at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
