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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Seahawks spent No. 118 on Ben Sinnott, a name the board had a full 20 spots lower.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 17 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They paid sticker price for Malachi Corley in the 78th overall pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in slot 81 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 96 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Nothing to complain about; Ty'Ron Hopper went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at pick 194 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
A straight-up fair deal on Braiden McGregor at the 195th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Carson Steele
The board had cheaper options than Carson Steele at Round 7, Pick 16, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
