Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Seahawks cashed the board's mistake on Schwesinger: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Carson Schwesinger, the No. 129 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 18. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Reaching for Riley left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 29th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in pick No. 50, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick 79 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at No. 95 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in slot 128 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A tight end of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 34 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in the 183rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They let Jordan Hancock come to them and pounced at pick No. 210. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick234 Rnd7 Carson Schwesinger
Circle this one: Carson Schwesinger at No. 234 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
