Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Seahawks.

The Seahawks spent real capital to be 101 picks early on Oluwafemi Oladejo, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The Rourke steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 18 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 50th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Good price on Darien Porter in pick 82, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick137 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A big swing on Oluwafemi Oladejo at Round 4, Pick 36, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in No. 173 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A reasonable price with a little left over, Oronde Gadsden II in the 187th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A wild overpay on Clay Webb in slot 212, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
The board fumbled Jamon Dumas-Johnson all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
