Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Seahawks, and a B- to prove it.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Seahawks spent the 235th overall pick on Jack Westover, a name most had 85 spots down the list. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Mahogany to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 25th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Payton Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaden Hicks. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick108 Rnd4 Maason Smith
They took Maason Smith at par in No. 108, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They will replay Christian Mahogany at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
A reach on Dillon Johnson in pick No. 157; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A real head-scratcher, Jared Wiley in pick No. 179 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Value said wait; Drake Nugent in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jack Westover
Jack Westover at Round 7, Pick 15 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
