Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Seahawks a B-.

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Seahawks to leave a draft.

The White III pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Zabel has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel in the 18th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in Round 2, Pick 18, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Jackson at pick 52, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They did well to land Mason Taylor in No. 82, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They took Kevin Winston Jr. at par in pick No. 92, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
No edge and no loss on Tyler Shough in the 137th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaydon Blue. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Fair-plus on Kyle Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Jackson at pick 223, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They read the board right and Ricky White III was the payoff at No. 234. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
