Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Seahawks lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Seahawks took Cooper Mays a full 73 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
No edge and no loss on Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick 50; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
A reach on Cameron Williams in the 52nd pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick No. 82 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 3, Pick 27 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
A premium they did not need to pay, Jordan Phillips a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
They talked themselves into Tyler Shough at slot 107, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cobee Bryant at pick No. 137 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid a round early for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 175th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at No. 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
They reached a country mile for Cooper Mays at Round 7, Pick 18, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
