Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Seahawks a B-.

The Torricelli Simpkins III pick is the one that will follow the Seahawks into the fall. They took him 41 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
Pick50 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They paid sticker price for Marcus Mbow in the 50th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 52 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Fair-plus on Darien Porter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They did well to land Gunnar Helm in pick No. 92, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Nothing to complain about; Riley Leonard went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Seth McLaughlin in Round 5, Pick 34. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dont'e Thornton Jr.. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at slot 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
The board had cheaper options than Kitan Crawford at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
