Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Seahawks: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Seahawks would have aced it. Jaleel Johnson at slot 237 is 47 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

On value alone, Pieper makes the weekend a net positive. Spending an early pick on interior defensive lineman with running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence, even if it was a touch early.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Gilliam
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 48th pick on Xavier Gilliam with running back unsolved.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at pick 83 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Terrance Carter Jr.
A want over a need in the 100th overall pick: Terrance Carter Jr. adds a tight end while running back keeps waiting.
Pick101 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
They robbed the room for Devan Thompkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kingston Lopa
They bypassed pressing needs at running back to take Kingston Lopa, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick135 Rnd4 Anthony Boswell
Anthony Boswell in No. 135 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jalen Mayo
A slide stopped in slot 153, with Jalen Mayo worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Eli Bowen
Eli Bowen slid further than he should have, and the 174th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick177 Rnd5 Gunner Stockton
Gunner Stockton in Round 5, Pick 40 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cayden Lee
By-the-book stuff, Cayden Lee at pick No. 196 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
Braelin Moore at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jaleel Johnson
Jaleel Johnson at pick 237 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.
