Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Seahawks.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Seahawks left running back untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

Campbell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Every board in the league had TeSlaa lower, and that gap is the story. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 18th overall pick they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jihaad Campbell at Round 2, Pick 18 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson at pick 52 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Nice patience on Isaiah Bond, who had no business lasting to pick No. 86. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson slid further than he should have, and the 125th pick is lovely value for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They went early on Logan Brown in No. 137, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A clean, defensible pick in slot 172 with a little surplus value in Chase Lundt. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A tidy little value on Kyle Williams in No. 175, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
No edge and no loss on Alijah Huzzie in the 214th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick223 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A reach on Isaac TeSlaa in slot 223; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cam Jackson in Round 7, Pick 18. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
