Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Seahawks.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jared Wiley, 54 picks early at pick 236. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Sainristil. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick No. 16 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
The board had cheaper options than Sedrick Van Pran at pick 78, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They liked Marist Liufau enough to skip the value, taking him in the 81st pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
They took Jahdae Barron at par in No. 118, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
Steal is underselling it; Mike Sainristil at Round 5, Pick 18 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dominic Lovett
Dominic Lovett at the 194th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wiley well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
