Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Luke Elzinga at the Round 5 slot, a reach of 49 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Emmanwori value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots went begging.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in No. 50 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick52 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Omarion Hampton in pick No. 52, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at the 82nd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Kevin Winston Jr. in the 92nd overall pick leaves edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick137 Rnd4 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at pick 137 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga at pick 172 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick175 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 175 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick223 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
The board had Thomas Fidone II higher than No. 223, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. in the 234th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
