Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB+ FutureC
A solid, sensible weekend for the Seahawks: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Seahawks took Donovan Smith at the Round 5 slot, roughly 93 spots before his name belonged.

On value alone, Starks makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 18 they get an enforcer at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A want over a need in the Round 2 slot: Malaki Starks adds a safety while edge rusher, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 56th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 62 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo slid further than he should have, and pick No. 82 is lovely value for the tight end. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Savion Williams
By-the-book stuff, Savion Williams at Round 3, Pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
No drama and no debate, Jonah Monheim went about where he belonged in No. 172. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Donovan Smith
They reached into another round for Donovan Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They read the board right and Jordan Hancock was the payoff at slot 223. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick234 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
