Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD-
The Seahawks bet the future on Daniels. The board says F.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jordan Toles, 33 picks early at the 236th overall pick.

Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

It is not that Stover is a bad player; it is that the Seahawks had louder needs to answer first. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. The Rakestraw Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 8 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick13 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jer'Zhan Newton. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 16 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the 33rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They paid sticker price for Ja'Tavion Sanders in slot 44, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Nice patience on Ennis Rakestraw Jr., who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick65 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Value with a capital V on Calen Bullock in pick No. 65, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 78th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in No. 81 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick 101 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Junior Colson
A clean, defensible pick in the 118th overall pick with a little surplus value in Junior Colson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 20: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while running back keeps waiting.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Travis. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Ainias Smith a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
A reach on Justin Rogers in the 150th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They went early on Christian Jones in pick 168, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A big swing on Dwight McGlothern at Round 6, Pick 19, well ahead of any board in the building. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jordan Toles
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Toles well ahead of where he belonged. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
