Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureD-
Quarterback settled, Nix in the fold, and a F for the Seahawks.

Some picks age like wine; Maurice Smith at the 218th overall pick will need to, sitting 50 spots clear of his grade.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Everything downstream of Bo Nix depends on Bo Nix, and the building knows it. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker, running back and other spots still on the board. The Bullock steal is the beam this whole class leans on. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They paid sticker price for Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 16th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 18th pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick 39 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 17 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Tavion Sanders at No. 51, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in pick 70 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at the 78th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of the 80th overall pick. Linebacker, running back and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A surprising call. With linebacker, running back and other spots still to address, they spent No. 81 on Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick107 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with linebacker, running back and other spots open.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They went early on Ainias Smith in Round 4, Pick 15, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A reach on Javon Foster in pick No. 119; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick 120 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Nothing to complain about; Ben Sinnott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in pick No. 154 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick173 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
No drama and no debate, Zion Tupuola-Fetui went about where he belonged in the 173rd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Christian Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Christian Jones in No. 194, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaden Crumedy well ahead of where he belonged. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick216 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
A wild overpay on J.J. Weaver in Round 6, Pick 41, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
Value said wait; Maurice Smith in slot 218 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Stefon Thompson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Stefon Thompson this early at Round 7, Pick 16. The roster logic is harder to follow.
