Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Seahawks treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 5, Pick 37 on Brant Kuithe a full 62 spots early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Higgins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 18 they get a downhill hitter at safety. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick No. 50 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
A real head-scratcher, Dylan Fairchild in the 52nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jayden Higgins in pick 82. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
By-the-book stuff, Ashton Gillotte at the 92nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
The board had Emery Jones Jr. higher than the Round 4 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick 172 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick175 Rnd5 Brant Kuithe
They reached a country mile for Brant Kuithe at the 175th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Shemar James
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shemar James. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Value with a capital V on Cam Jackson in Round 7, Pick 18, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
