Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureD-
A weekend the Seahawks spent fighting the board, and losing. F.

Some picks age like wine; Richard Jibunor at pick 236 will need to, sitting 90 spots clear of his grade. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while edge rusher, linebacker and other spots went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. Amegadjie at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick 6 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 16 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick18 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In No. 18 they get a difference-maker at receiver, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They paid a round early for Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 39, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They liked Zach Frazier enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 19. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 3 slot is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in slot 80 leaves edge rusher, linebacker and other spots for later.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of the 81st overall pick. Edge rusher, linebacker and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick107 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Khyree Jackson at cornerback with edge rusher, linebacker and other spots open.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
No edge and no loss on Ainias Smith in No. 115; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A reach for Javon Foster in pick No. 118; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the 119th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid sticker price for Kitan Oladapo in pick 154, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They talked themselves into Jaden Crumedy at No. 194, and the board did not agree. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Richard Jibunor in Round 7, Pick 16, miles early. The roster logic is harder to follow.
