Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Nobody had Hayden Conner this high, and it is not close. The Seahawks reached 90 spots to get him at pick No. 175.

The Emmanwori value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Emmanwori pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, linebacker and other spots.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 18th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at No. 50 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A curious use of pick 52. Edge rusher, linebacker and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Nick Emmanwori did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Deone Walker
No drama and no debate, Deone Walker went about where he belonged in slot 82. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
No edge and no loss on Hollin Pierce in the 137th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 172nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They reached a country mile for Garrett Dellinger at pick 223, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in Round 7, Pick 18 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
