Draft Grade — Seahawks

ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Seahawks took Jalen Travis at Round 7, Pick 18, roughly 55 spots before his name belonged.

The Leonard value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a load in the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slid further than he should have, and No. 50 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the 52nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 82 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They read the board right and Mason Taylor was the payoff at the 92nd pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 137 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Riley Leonard in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
A quiet steal in No. 175: Tommi Hill for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse slipping to pick No. 223 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Travis in Round 7, Pick 18, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
