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

There is reaching, and then there is Miles Frazier at pick 175. The Seahawks jumped the board by 65 and dared it to prove them wrong. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 18th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy little value on Xavier Watts in No. 50, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick52 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
They reached a country mile for Mason Taylor at pick 52, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 18, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Barrett Carter at the Round 3 slot is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at slot 137 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ahmed Hassanein in the 172nd overall pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at slot 223 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
They reached into another round for DJ Uiagalelei, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
