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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jay Higgins, Round 6, Pick 35, roughly 89 picks past where he belonged.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Good price on Walter Nolen in the Round 1 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at No. 50 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
They robbed the room for Kamari Ramsey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to pick 136, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
A quiet steal in the 173rd overall pick: Jaeden Roberts for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick184 Rnd6 Eli Stowers
Nice patience on Eli Stowers, who had no business lasting to slot 184. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
You do not let a linebacker like Jay Higgins reach the 210th pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Somehow Theo Wease Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 234, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
