Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Stutsman should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Danny Stutsman, the Round 5 slot, roughly 81 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will need Jefferson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 49th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at pick No. 50. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Nothing to complain about; Tate Ratledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Nice patience on Deone Walker, who had no business lasting to No. 82. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They let Jayden Higgins come to them and pounced at the 85th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at Round 4, Pick 19 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Taking Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick 136 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in pick 171, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
A wild overpay on Tonka Hemingway in No. 183, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210 Rnd6 Xzavier Henderson
Xzavier Henderson at slot 210 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, KJ Jefferson well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
