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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Drew Kendall; the Seahawks did not wait, grabbing him 114 spots ahead at the 172nd overall pick. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Strong steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
No edge and no loss on JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 52 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They paid up for Jalen Milroe at pick No. 82 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at the 92nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 137 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick172 Rnd5 Drew Kendall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drew Kendall in No. 172, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
A cornerback of that caliber at the 175th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick223 Rnd7 CJ West
CJ West at pick 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at the 234th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
