Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks fought the board and lost. D+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalin Conyers at the 50th overall pick, a reach of 332 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Sanders pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. It is not that Crawshaw is a bad player; it is that the Seahawks had louder needs to answer first.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Ollie Gordon II
In slot 18 they get a lead back with juice, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jalin Conyers
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalin Conyers this early at pick No. 50. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick52 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the 52nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Giles Jackson
Giles Jackson at pick 82 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cobee Bryant
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cobee Bryant in the 92nd pick, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jeremy Crawshaw
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Jeremy Crawshaw adds a specialist while edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick172 Rnd5 KJ Jefferson
A wild overpay on KJ Jefferson in No. 172, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Alijah Clark
They reached into another round for Alijah Clark, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick223 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Circle this one: Raheim Sanders at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Marques Sigle
Marques Sigle at pick 234 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
