Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Seahawks: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Seahawks spent No. 175 on Jackson Hawes, a name the board had a full 74 spots lower. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Marks. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 18 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value.
Pick50 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 50th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick52 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 52, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jackson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Darien Porter at slot 92 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach the 137th overall pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A premium they did not need to pay, JJ Pegues a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jackson Hawes
They talked themselves into Jackson Hawes at pick 175, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
A reach for Mac McWilliams in the 223rd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick234 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Somehow Woody Marks was still sitting there in No. 234, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
