Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Seahawks: B-.

The Seahawks treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 175th pick on Hayden Conner a full 90 spots early.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher and running back went begging.

Landing Campbell that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and running back to take Xavier Watts, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They read the board right and Jihaad Campbell was the payoff at slot 52. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 18 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at pick No. 92 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the 137th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at Round 5, Pick 37, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They reached into another round for Brady Cook, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
