Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Seahawks. For now, C+.

The Hayden Conner selection is the head-turner. The Seahawks reached 90 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The Watts pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, linebacker and other spots still on the board. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 18 they get a rangy last line of defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 2 slot on Xavier Watts with edge rusher, linebacker and other spots unsolved.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A wild overpay on Deone Walker in the 52nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 82nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A tidy little value on Gunnar Helm in pick No. 92, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in Round 4, Pick 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 34; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the 175th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Dellinger in the 223rd overall pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brady Cook
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brady Cook. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
