Draft Grade — Seahawks

FutureF
The Seahawks answered their biggest question with Maye. Grade: F. The Sav'ell Smalls selection is the head-turner. The Seahawks reached 120 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It bottoms out at a F.
Drake Maye gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. With linebacker, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them.
The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left linebacker open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 16 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick18
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 18th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at pick No. 33, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Tavion Sanders at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 59 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
They took Javon Bullard at par in Round 3, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick80
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in the 80th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
Value said wait; Marshawn Kneeland in pick No. 81 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89
Rnd3
Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 89 on Maason Smith with linebacker, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick106
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
They paid up for Donovan Jackson at No. 106 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115
Rnd4
Cade Stover
A want over a need in slot 115: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while linebacker, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick118
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They liked Javon Foster enough to skip the value, taking him in the 118th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at No. 154 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194
Rnd6
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
They paid sticker price for Dwight McGlothern in Round 6, Pick 39, and that is fine. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick216
Rnd6
Arik Gilbert
Arik Gilbert in the 216th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218
Rnd6
Aubrey Burks
Aubrey Burks at pick No. 218 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick236
Rnd7
Sav'ell Smalls
They talked themselves into Sav'ell Smalls at pick 236, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
