Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Seahawks did not so much draft Elijah Arroyo as overpay for him, 24 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hudson. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 18 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Elijah Arroyo
Value said wait; Elijah Arroyo in the 50th overall pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They paid sticker price for Trey Amos in Round 2, Pick 20, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A wild overpay on Dylan Fairchild in pick 82, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at the 92nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd4 Kobe King
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Kobe King graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
By-the-book stuff, Jaydon Blue at No. 172 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They did well to land Jake Briningstool in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kitan Crawford well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick234 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Steal is underselling it; Kobe Hudson at the 234th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
