Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall F
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureC
The board had answers; the Seahawks had Hemingway. Grade: F.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Seahawks shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A F, plain and simple.

The Hemingway reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Mukuba pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Higgins.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left edge rusher open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 29th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in slot 35 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mason Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Andrew Mukuba with edge rusher unsolved.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Good price on Cam Skattebo in the 92nd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dillon Gabriel at pick 137 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 172. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They paid a round early for Jaylen Reed in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
A quiet steal in No. 223: Jay Higgins for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A real head-scratcher, Tonka Hemingway in Round 7, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
