Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureD
Good, not great, for the Seahawks: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Seahawks would have aced it. DeMonte Capehart at the 257th pick is 67 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Watts. The Hunt pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver and running back still on the board.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 16th pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They took J.J. McCarthy at par in pick 38, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at No. 78 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Of all the spots to shop, they chose S-EDGE. Jalyx Hunt in the Round 4 slot leaves wide receiver and running back for later.
Pick121 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the 121st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 23 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at the 194th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gabe Hall in No. 198, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 233 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
The board fumbled Ryan Watts all the way to pick 253, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick254 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
They talked themselves into Chad Lindberg at the 254th pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in Round 7, Pick 39 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
