FutureD-
Nix is the plan now, and the Seahawks grade out a F. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Seahawks did exactly that with Jayson Jones in the 216th overall pick. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.
Everything downstream of Bo Nix depends on Bo Nix, and the building knows it. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.
The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at linebacker. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left linebacker open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In slot 6 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick No. 16 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In the 18th overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They jumped the gun on T'Vondre Sweat, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at No. 70 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A want over a need in slot 78: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while linebacker keeps waiting.
Pick81
Rnd3
Blake Corum
Blake Corum at pick No. 81 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at the 107th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jaheim Bell
A big swing on Jaheim Bell at the 115th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in pick 118 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They paid up for Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 19 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in No. 151 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 194th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214
Rnd6
Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun at pick 214 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jayson Jones
Value said wait; Jayson Jones in slot 216 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaden Crumedy. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick236
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
A tidy little value on Sam Hartman in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
