Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks bet the future on Nix. The board says B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Seahawks committed. Bo Nix is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

McCoy falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will need Bell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In slot 22 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
A reach for Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 83; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick 86 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Troy Fautanu
Fair-plus on Troy Fautanu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A tidy bit of business in the 160th overall pick, where Jack Nelson graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at Round 6, Pick 43 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 243 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
