Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Seahawks got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Dayon Hayes; the Seahawks did not wait, grabbing him 121 spots ahead at the 175th overall pick. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Jones Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Milroe this early at pick 50. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick52 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in Round 2, Pick 20 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at slot 82 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Taking Zy Alexander in the 92nd pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 137 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They barely believed it either: Emery Jones Jr. still on the board at No. 172. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at slot 175 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nazir Stackhouse
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 223, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
A big swing on Jahvaree Ritzie at the 234th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
