Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks won the night they stopped Singleton from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Nicholas Singleton slides to Round 6, Pick 9, you do not overthink it, and the Seahawks did not. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They are betting Howard proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick 18 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A tidy bit of business in slot 50, where Tyler Booker graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Somehow Deone Walker was still sitting there in pick No. 88, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in the 125th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 4, Pick 35 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick173 Rnd5 Will Howard
A big swing on Will Howard at the 173rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick184 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 Eli Stowers
A tight end of that caliber at No. 199 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley at slot 234 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick241 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
They barely believed it either: DJ Campbell still on the board at Round 7, Pick 25. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
