Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureA
Good, not great, for the Seahawks: B-.

The Seahawks treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 7 slot on Chad Lindberg a full 20 spots early.

The Nix value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Bo Nix
A quiet steal in No. 38: Bo Nix for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 78th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
A reach for Jaden Hicks in pick 118; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick144 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in pick No. 144 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Sinnott at slot 154, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on De'Corian Clark. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
Chad Lindberg in the 236th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
