Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Seahawks: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Seahawks would have aced it. Jake Briningstool at the 193rd overall pick is 63 spots clear of where he belonged.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jared Verse
They paid sticker price for Jared Verse in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaheim Bell well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Haynes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in No. 115 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis slid further than he should have, and slot 152 is lovely value for the quarterback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
They talked themselves into Jake Briningstool at pick No. 193, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
