Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Seahawks, and a B- to prove it.

The Seahawks spent real capital to be 63 picks early on Darius Robinson, and the board is going to hold them to it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Travis to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 25 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darius Robinson in pick No. 58, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Nice patience on Ruke Orhorhoro, who had no business lasting to pick 78. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes slipping to the 81st overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaden Hicks in No. 119. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A tidy bit of business in the 151st pick, where Jordan Travis graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They paid a round early for AJ Barner in pick 194, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at slot 233 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
