Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Seahawks a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Seahawks started one anyway for Jackson Hawes, 81 picks ahead of schedule.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. With wide receiver, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 25 they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A quiet steal in No. 50: Jihaad Campbell for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Amos. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick79 Rnd3 David Walker
They reached into another round for David Walker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They went early on Gunnar Helm in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid sticker price for Charles Grant in Round 3, Pick 28, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with O'Donnell Fortune while clear needs at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick172 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A reach for JJ Pegues in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jackson Hawes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Hawes in the 175th overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A big swing on Hayden Conner at Round 7, Pick 7, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A wild overpay on Garrett Dellinger in slot 234, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
