Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Barron should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jahdae Barron at No. 183 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel slipping to No. 43 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Steal is underselling it; Armand Membou at slot 50 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick61 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
The board fumbled Wyatt Milum all the way to Round 2, Pick 29, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at the 75th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at the 136th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
Taking Josaiah Stewart in pick No. 171 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in pick 183 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick210 Rnd6 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Somehow Demetrius Knight Jr. was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 234 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
