Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Nick Nash pick is the one that will follow the Seahawks into the fall. They took him 74 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Paul Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 18th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
The board had Tyler Booker higher than Round 2, Pick 18, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at pick No. 82 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
The board fumbled Deontae Lawson all the way to slot 136, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A real head-scratcher, Nick Nash in pick 173 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at No. 184 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
They barely believed it either: Elijah Arroyo still on the board at the 210th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in No. 234 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
