Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Seahawks answered their biggest question with Penix Jr.. Grade: D.

The Jack Westover pick is the one that will follow the Seahawks into the fall. They took him 61 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Everything downstream of Michael Penix Jr. depends on Michael Penix Jr., and the building knows it.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
Circle this one: Michael Penix Jr. at the 30th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They let Javon Bullard come to them and pounced at No. 62. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick 81 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
A clean, defensible pick in slot 102 with a little surplus value in Christian Mahogany. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 DJ James
They will replay DJ James at the 118th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick166 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in pick No. 166 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at the 179th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Keegan at the 192nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jack Westover
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jack Westover well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
