Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesC FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Seahawks for Jeanty: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ashton Jeanty at Round 6, Pick 35 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Cam Ward
You do not let a quarterback like Cam Ward reach No. 38 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick50 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 50th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 69 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Taking Jahdae Barron in the 82nd pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
They barely believed it either: Dylan Fairchild still on the board at slot 136. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in pick No. 143 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at Round 6, Pick 8 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Ashton Jeanty
They will replay Ashton Jeanty at pick No. 210 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Billy Bowman Jr.
The board fumbled Billy Bowman Jr. all the way to pick 234, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
