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

The Seahawks went off the board in a big way for Jackson Hawes, 48 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Alexander at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will answer for taking cornerback early while linebacker went begging.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 20th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A clean, defensible pick in pick 50 with a little surplus value in Xavier Watts. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick52 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A reach on Ashton Gillotte in the 82nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in slot 85 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in pick No. 92 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker to take Zy Alexander, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
A conviction pick on Jackson Slater at slot 137 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A reach for JJ Pegues in pick No. 172; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Clay Webb
They reached into another round for Clay Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at the 208th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 7 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
A tidy bit of business in No. 234, where Phil Mafah graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
