Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall

FutureD-
Daniels is the Seahawks' new face under center. Grade: F. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jordan Toles in the 236th pick, a good 33 spots before the room expected him. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.
The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is not that Stover is a bad player; it is that the Seahawks had louder needs to answer first.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with linebacker still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In pick 8 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick13
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 13 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In pick No. 16 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Good price on Tyler Nubin in slot 33, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick40
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Fair-plus on Chris Braswell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
D.J. James
D.J. James in pick 65 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at slot 78 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
They paid a round early for Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 81, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at Round 4, Pick 1 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118
Rnd4
Cade Stover
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at linebacker, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145
Rnd5
Darius Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Darius Robinson at the 145th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ainias Smith. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154
Rnd5
Christian Jones
They talked themselves into Christian Jones at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They went early on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 168th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194
Rnd6
AJ Barner
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and AJ Barner at pick No. 194 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jordan Toles
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Toles this early at No. 236. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
