Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tyler Loop at the 175th overall pick, a reach of 129 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Kiner falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Will Campbell
They did well to land Will Campbell in the 18th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at pick No. 50 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to slot 52, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick82 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in No. 82 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Circle this one: Jack Bech at Round 3, Pick 28 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd4 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
They will replay Dillon Gabriel at the 172nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tyler Loop
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Loop in slot 175 is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
Taking Nohl Williams in pick 223 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
