Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD-
The Solomon reach set a tone the Seahawks could not shake: F.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Seahawks, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

The Seahawks indulged a want in Smith while a need in quarterback, running back and other spots stayed open. Every board in the league had Solomon lower, and that gap is the story.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 6th overall pick they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 16 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Value with a capital V on Xavier Legette in pick 39, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at slot 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 26 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at pick No. 70, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Haynes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of the 81st pick. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 88th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 26 on Javon Solomon with quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Khyree Jackson while clear needs at quarterback, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick107 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They took Ainias Smith at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They went early on Javon Foster in pick 118, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Value said wait; Drake Nugent in pick No. 126 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
No drama and no debate, Kitan Oladapo went about where he belonged in No. 154. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick194 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in slot 194 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
A reach for Xavier Thomas in pick No. 236; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
