Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Seahawks: B-.

The tape said wait; the Seahawks did not. Garrett Dellinger went at the Round 7 slot, a good 59 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 18 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Xavier Watts in the 50th overall pick leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 2, Pick 20 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Darien Porter. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 92nd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at No. 137 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They took Jack Kiser at par in slot 175, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A wild overpay on Garrett Dellinger in No. 234, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
