Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Seahawks started one anyway for Hayden Conner, 93 picks ahead of schedule.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, linebacker and other spots went begging.

So much rides on Nick Emmanwori that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, linebacker and other spots to take Xavier Watts, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They talked themselves into Deone Walker at slot 52, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
No drama and no debate, Gunnar Helm went about where he belonged in pick 82. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 92 leaves edge rusher, linebacker and other spots for later.
Pick137 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A straight-up fair deal on Hollin Pierce at Round 4, Pick 35, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in the 172nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. 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.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They reached a country mile for Brady Cook at No. 223, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
