Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Brooks should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a B.

Somebody in pick No. 230 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Seahawks sat still while Tahj Brooks, the No. 110 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 15 they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Taking Jahdae Barron in the 49th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick80 Rnd3 DJ Campbell
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 80 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 136 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in the 191st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant at No. 210 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in Round 7, Pick 16 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
