Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks cashed the board's mistake on Milum: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Wyatt Milum slide, and the Seahawks were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 18 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in the 50th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick52 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Grey Zabel in No. 52, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to the 82nd pick, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick92 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at pick No. 92 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cam Ward
They barely believed it either: Cam Ward still on the board at Round 5, Pick 34. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at pick 175 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Taking Wyatt Milum in the 223rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
You do not let an edge rusher like Josaiah Stewart reach pick No. 234 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
