Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks let Higgins fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jay Higgins, the No. 122 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 184. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Winston Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots still on the board. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Kight pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 18 they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tate Ratledge reach pick No. 50 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 82 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 136 on Kevin Winston Jr. with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots unsolved.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Tahj Brooks in Round 5, Pick 36, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in the 184th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Good price on Jaishawn Barham in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Amari Kight
They liked Amari Kight enough to skip the value, taking him in the 234th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
