Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 6 slot: the Seahawks steal Gordon II and grade out a C-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ollie Gordon II tumbling to the Seahawks in No. 212 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. For now it grades a C-, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The cost of the Milroe reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
A slide stopped in the 23rd overall pick, with Luther Burden III worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board had Nick Emmanwori higher than Round 2, Pick 3, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Value with a capital V on Jonah Savaiinaea in pick 58, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
A wild overpay on Jalen Milroe in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at the 107th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kevin Winston Jr. adds a safety and leaves edge rusher untouched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in slot 144 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They took Ty Robinson at par in No. 173, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
They liked Jake Briningstool enough to skip the value, taking him in the 236th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
